Hi, I have a complete 1953 Ford sedan, it has the flathead V8 and was running when parked here in southern New Mexico. There is some damage to the right side but there is one good door to replace one of the damaged ones. The engine is reported to have been a good runner but was starting to use oil. If you can figure a way to come and get it I will trade straight across for the 289 engine and trans. I am working on a '65 Mustang now that needs an engine -trans. The '53 has a three speed manual trans too.
regards, Topless.
