Description:

For sale! 1959 Edsel Villager 6 passenger Station Wagon. Running and driving, just not all that well. The engine was replaced sometime in the past with a 1964 Ford 390 Y-Block with a 2 bbl carb. The carb was rebuilt by Taylor Automotive, Dash cluster rebuilt by Bob’s Speedometer Repair, New gas tank and sending unit from Auto City Classics, New tires and brakes. Comes with a 4 bbl intake casting # 1A12 4D C1AE (1961). Rockers in great shape. Floor pans front and rear replaced before I bought it. Bubbling front and rear quarters. Rust on roof near drip rails. I removed the headliner to see how bad the rust was. I have the headliner and bows. The material needs to be replaced. Power steering ram is leaks. This is a good solid project car that is all here.
