1954 Ford Victoria- No Reserve

I had the identical twin to this car in 1963 when I was 17 and in high school (last picture). I am now almost 72 and I located this car in Georgia a couple of years ago. It has become the car that always get placed in the corner, while I work on something else. It is time for someone else to enjoy and finish this car. Car is 100% original. The original 239 engine was over-hauled around 15,000 miles ago and runs pretty good to great. The tranny is a three on the tree manual and works well in all gears. Car drives out fine. I have replaced or rebuilt three of the wheel brakes (cylinders and shoes)and master cylinder,still have one wheel to go. I rebuilt the 2 barrel carb and have a spare. Radiator was cleaned and checked out by local radiator shop. Oil filter was changed to a spin-on type, oil pan plug will need a new copper ring gasket. Newer battery and cables. The complete interior was rebuilt by Classic Auto in Mattoon with new foam, etc. Headliner not done completed, but all bows are present. All of the dash and interior trim was repainted to the ivory white and will have to be installed after side panels are installed. The roof has a slight crease like it was pushed andand poped back, can't hardly see it. Really cool full length window visors, one on car and one to be installed. The dashpod and trimwill have to bere-installed after the side panels are installed. I installed the outside stainless molding, but did not have all of the clips needed. Iplaced the left door molding on the right and the right molding on the left. Will reverse this week maybe? The front windshield has a crack (passenger side)and two side and one vent window have cracks All four floor pans have been replaced and welded and sealed in place. The following steel repairs will be needed: both rockers in/out, lower 3" of front fenders and behind rear wheels (inside and out -3" also), about $200 for all metal to repair. The Ford was painted a single coat of urethane single stage enamel to cover different shades of primer and prevent it fromsurface rusting. Ido have the original fender skirts for car and full set of full hubcaps. New gas tank (not installed) both straps and a spare tire. Electric wiring on the car has had the canvas covering removed by rodents, I've plastic coate, , but will need to be properly fixed. Two original radios, one is supposed to work ( in box with perfect chrome),Car starts well and I've driven it around the yard everyday this week. No brakes makes it a challenge, will try to finish that other wheel before end of auction.
