I had a look
Here are the good points:
It has a Ford badge.
It has an original horn (dented).
Drivetrain complete.
Comes with good left-hand door and spare gearbox (not sighted)
Bad points:
It has been comprehensively worn out.
The steering has almost a full turn of slop.
Uni joints knackered
Diff pinion bearing worn
No sheetmetal usable
Side steps so worn you can see the ground through them
Even the chassis is stuffed.
It has 20" wheels front and 16" rear with chevron tyres which have gone hard. There is a spare 16" rim which looks to have been sandblasted on the rear of the chassis.
Owner firm on $500 and says that is not negotiable. "It can rot there" (and will probably continue to do so).
It would seem he's departing for warmer climes leaving a past life here.
Engine condition unknown - miraculously it's not seized.
There's also a Chev front shell with a knock in the left side and the lower part of the grille rotted out.
