Fellas, I though that some of you might want to see this. I’ve seen this car around Detroit swapmeets for awhile. Maybe one of you would want to take this on..maybe Moriarty? https://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/d/classic-authentic-60s-custom/6666439351.html
Ha. That guy bought it from here. Dallas, Texas. Oh well ..... still a cool car. Amazing it made it to Detroit.
Lot of info on it here: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/custom-60-edsel.156543/ Belonged to @Criscobath
I could see someone buying that and pulling the hemi and putting in a Ford engine and reselling it. The Hemi is/was no doubt worth some show points and a lot of oh wows but is a bit of a waste of the engine now. A later Ford engine all decked out would bring enough oh wows from the folks who would like the car in the first place.
Yeah, I remembered talking about that car here a while back. seemed like someone thought it was a Barris car (it isn't) and there was some speculation as what should be done to it. I don't need it as I am hopelessly out of room....and it is an Edsel LOL
Not my cup of tea either...weren’t 60 Edsels pretty rare? Can only imagine what the chrome bill must have been, and yeah I thought it had Barris crests on it at the last swap meet I saw it at
The 60 was the best looking Edsel IMHO, but those Chrysler headlights look goofy. You could probably sell the Hemi for enough to get a good 390 or 428 FE and have some change left over. It looks tired in the pics, but probably wouldn't take a whole lot to get it looking better again.
