Hello,
I’m finally starting restoring my 66 project. I’ve had it since I was in high school, (let’s just say in excess of twenty years;D) and used it as a DD for a few summers. My dad also plowed snow with it until two or three years ago.
According to the gentleman who gave it to me, his father purchased it from the Henry Ford Estate when it was a few years old. Supposedly it was just used on the estate. Once the second owner purchased it, he took it to his cottage in northern Michigan, where it stayed until he passed, and his son gave it to me. I don’t have any provenance, but it’s a cool story!
It shows 18,000ish on the odometer, it had about 14,000 when I got it. I’m quite sure those are original, everything is in great shape other than the body.
It’s stock, but the body is shot. 52 years in Michigan has taken its toll.
I plan on doing a stock restoration, due to its history.
Here it is as it sat until a couple of weeks ago.
