1961 Ford Consul Mk2 Lowline Hot Rod / Rat Rod pro For Sale

1961 Ford Consul Mk2 Lowline Hot Rod / Rat Rod project V8
For sale is my 1961 lowline consul, unfortunately I have decided to focus on other projects so this one has to go! It is fitted with a 3. 5 Rover SD1 V8 9. 5 cr (1976-87) and Automatic transmission. I have the V5C in my name with the correct V8 engine number. It will be Tax and MOT exempt as of next year!
It has wonderful patina so would make a great rat rod or with some paint, seats and wiring a good Hot Rod. It is a great base as all the hard work is done!
It turns over with oil pressure but I haven’t got it running, it just needs some minor TLC, welding, electrical work and tyres before an MOT. It has been on the road since it’s been converted to a V8 but that was 5 years ago. Overall the car is very solid for its age, just a few small rust spots in the usual places, mainly the bottoms of the doors. It has fibreglass front wings, all floors, sills and chassis seem to be solid, all be it with some surface rust.
All the glass is there with trim however bumpers and other exterior trim are missing what’s in the pictures is what you get. The original interior has been removed and replaced with 2 front seats which fit nicely round the wider centre tunnel.
The weak differential, outdated leaf springs and leaver arm shock absorbers have been replaced with independent rear suspension, comprising of a central aluminium differential housing, driveshafts on CV joints, coil springs, modern shocks and disc brakes. The front utilises a complete Vauxhall subframe and struts with disc brakes. This is a greatly improves handling, stopping power, overall ride and parts availability.
Overall it is a good solid car with all fabrication work completed, V8, Independent suspension and power disc brakes, only minor welding and TLC needed as it has been sat for a while.
I am also open to offers minus the engine.
