Time to sell my 1967 122S project car. I am moving 2400 miles and it’s not practical
to ship the car and spare parts with me, so I am hoping someone else will fall
in love with this old round fender and complete the restoration. This car looks good in the photos, but it is
strictly a daily driver at this point. The engine, transmission, drive train is in great condition. It starts immediately every time. I have had it 11 years and don’t know the
history or mileage as the odometer wasn’t working when I got it from Colorado. It appears that the only damage to the body
is the front bumper. It is a little
crunched but could be pressed back to shape. The remaining rust is right side fender where it bolts to the body, passenger rocker panel, passenger rocker panel, some near the drivers rear shock. I had the driver’s floor panel welded.
The best thing I did was have the SU carbs rebuilt by Joe
Curto in New Jersey. They came back like
new and now I can balance the carbs and set the idle speed. I dropped the transmission, put in a new
clutch rear seals, u-joints , rear end pinion seal. New rear end damper straps and IPD nylon
bushings.
When I take off a
part I clean all the gunk and do my best to restore it.
Engine runs great and I saw no need to pull the head and do
major work. I added a new coil and
ballast resistor between the distributor and coil that saves your points. The generator was replaced and a new voltage
regulator.
When you look up close at the paint you will see I learned a
big lesson on why you need to do a final block sand. I wanted to strip the Ford Sea Foam green
paint that was bubbling and checking and paint it the original red. I thought I had it prepped well enough to
have a shop do the finish coat. Up close
at an angle you can see the ripples, but at 3 feet it looks great. Before it was painted I removed all the
trim, door panels, door glass and hardware. I put in new door & window seals all around. I haven’t finished putting it all back
together as you can see in the photos. I
am running out of time before I move.
This car has the bones to be restored to show quality, with
not too much effort or money. Add paint, dash pad, carpet, trunk seal, headliner, front bumper, heater thermostat control, some rust repair.
Car includes all the spare parts I accumulated, which
includes rear brake drum puller, and a rare A/C compressor and bracket I found
on eBay. I can’t guaranteed it works, but I feel it could be broken down and repaired with new seals.
