for sale

I am listing this for a friend.
If you are looking for a rare project, here it is! 1958 Edsel Villager 4-door, 6-passenger Station Wagon. One of only 2, 294 ever made! It has the E-400 (361cid) V8 engine and the coveted Teletouch pushbutton operated (from the center of the steering wheel) transmission. Exterior color is presently mostly surface rust brown, but was originally Spruce Green Metallic combined with Frost White. Interior is White Vinyl & Green Vinyl. This car was built on August 28th, 1958 at the Louisville, Kentucky Ford Plant. It also features the 3.22 to 1 rear axle ratio.
All glass on this car has been broken (except, thankfully, the rear glass). With the exception of the windshield however, all other glass is flat and could be readily made by your local glass company. The exterior sheet metal is remarkably straight and dent free, with the exception of the under-door rocker panels (pretty rusty). Floor panels will need to be replaced. I expect that the interior will need a full restoration. I did not try to turn over the engine and cannot tell if it is stuck or not. The engine is missing the carburetor.
This car is what we term here in Texas as a Pasture Find, my friend will provide a Bill Of Sale but no title is available. In Texas you can apply for something called a Bonded Title, but you may want to check with your local DMV for more title options in your state.
The vehicle is also being offered for sale locally, and this auction is therefore subject to ending at any time.
I will be glad to answer any questions you may have or forward them to the owner.
