1939 Ford Deluxe Sedan V8 (Project)
For Sale: 1939 Ford Deluxe V8 Sedan – Classic Project Car
We’re offering this unique 1939 Ford Deluxe V8 Sedan, a rare find and an excellent project for any classic car enthusiast. While this isn't a typical trade-in for us, it came as part of a package we purchased, and we've decided to offer it for sale.
Key Details:
- Licensed up to 2024 and registered as used on original "pink papers."
- Sold with an updated RC1 document for ease of transfer.
- Originally a two-owner car, with the second owner keeping it for over 50 years.
Restoration History:
The vehicle was meticulously stripped and painted by its elderly custodian in true old-school fashion. All parts were carefully packed away—bumpers and trim pieces wrapped, and the engine (a 24-stud V8) stripped and crated. No part was lost or misplaced during the restoration process.
- The hubs and brakes were fully overhauled.
- The engine was fully disassembled, machined by engineers, and is now ready for assembly.
- All new engine parts have been sourced from the United States and will be included with the sale.
Condition:
The vehicle’s body was properly painted and is in excellent condition—there is no filler or rust anywhere. Having spent the majority of its life in the dry climate of Mpumalanga, the car has not required any rust repairs. It’s a solid base for restoration.
The car was loosely mocked up for the sale to facilitate transport, and the remaining parts are still carefully packed away.
Project Potential:
This 1939 Ford Deluxe is an ideal project for someone looking to finish a classic restoration or even transform it into a custom rod. It’s a great platform for a true enthusiast with an eye for quality restoration or unique custom work.
