got this with a bunch of Ford parts, no numbers. at first i thought 55T-Bird, but no. Thanks for the help. Mike
Great Job! i never thought of going Foreign. CYMRO, if you have an Anglia that that i'll give it to you. Just pay shipping.. Thanks again.
Thanks for the offer, I'm in Wales ( Cymru) that little country between England and Ireland, My father owned one of these some 50 years ago one of the biggest rust buckets I have ever seen and it was only seven or eight years old at the time.
Probably not many... While Ford allowed individual dealers to import these, they never seemed have any enthusiasm for them and parts/service on them dried up years ago. I owned a '60 Anglia in '67 (only 7 years old!), went to Ford dealer just once to be told 'no parts available here'. This was the car that introduced me (as a young kid) to 'fabricating'... LOL. Not even the import parts specialists carried much for them, and if you had to import from England the price would take your breath away.
I had one of those in 1964. Just finished Boilerman school at Great Lakes NTC, and needed a way to get home on leave having blown up my '50 Chevy the weekend before. A body shop in Lyndon, Illinois had a '60 Anglia for $150 (been rolled twice, I was told)... I got it for $75 & the Chev. Went from Lyndon to Idaho Falls on $18 worth of gas. Would go 60 MPH with all the windows up, 55 down.
I'd stick it on Ebay with a low starting bid after figuring out what size and weight the box to ship it in is going to be. If you live near a gun shop one of the boxes that gun makers stick their rifles/shot guns in to cover the box with the info on it should be just about the right size and you can probably get the packing too. If you get 20.00 bucks out of it it is found money and who knows?
I been to Cannonsburg, if you go for a $20 hooker you better take at least two burlap bags with you to cover the face and get real drunk
