Hi all,
I had a look at this coupe yesterday, After being in storage for a very long time it spent last night outside in the rain, I had a look around the car and it is in amazing condition, No rust and all original metal around the back window and under the parcel shelf, The lower rear quarters have been repaired and the radiator support panel has been replaced, This coupe needs to be bought by a ford enthusiast, This is a sad post because what i have been told the car is destined to sit outside.

Ok, The story is the car was painted many years ago,
The car was then sold to a friend of a friend that had it many more years, The owner of the car died about 3 years ago and the car was stored by a family friend that was told he could have the car as the bloke that died would have liked that, the car was then fitted with new ball joints, bushes, springs etc, Now the sister wants the car back ( and as i speak it is on the back of a tilt tray), This is a disaster as the people that now have it are not car people, The owner that died had a 57 chev also showroom condition that now sits in a paddock with flat tyres, |

I hate stories like that.
A similar one was a bloke died & left a vintage car to his eldest son - with the caveat that if he sold it, he had to give the money to his younger brother. Of course the son had no desire to even keep the car, so it went into storage for nearly 40 years. Younger brother dies, and it's straight on the market, but then needed another full resto because of the neglect. |

Yeah i get what your saying,
Most people would kill for a shell like this, I know there all restorable but this one has very little rust, I hope it finds a good home. |

This is probably only the second time this car has seen light in the last 25 years,
Just have a look at the sky in the pictures and it spent last night out in the elements. |

Funny you should ask that,
When the guy died they went through his office and threw everything out without really checking or knowing what was there, Guess what they threw out. |

i'm pretty sure that if it has been previously registered and records show that,
then you will be able to register it again. |

If it still has the stamp on the left shock tower then it will be OK to re-register. If it doesn't then as stated, forget it, too hard, drag-car.

I'm afraid if I was the old mate to whom the coupe had been gifted, and I had stored it carefully whilst investing my own time and money into its eventual restoration, there's no way in the wide world it would have left my shed at the behest of someone who decided to change her mind.

Possession is 9/10ths of the law. For what reason did her mind change?

It wasn't stolen or written off,
solicitors were involved today and as ozpacman said i would not have released the car, These were the exact words that i said, I bleed blue and i know this car is not heading for the right home, |
