1954 Meteor car. Flathead V8 (runs) standard overdrive transmittion. little rust but good body overall.

 

Didn`t I meet you on Lorne Avenue with my black tandem late this afternoon? Or a very similar one heading into Saskatoon.
Nice score by the way, I love these cars. Do you know of any more close by?

 

Nice score there, I like those old cars too.

 

Looks nice man, I actually like the looks of that one, even for a four door! Love the visor on it too!

 

If you need any information on the overdrive....I assume its a Borg Warner unit, i have plenty of info and contacts. I am into my overdrive from the Plymouth.....they all were the same BW

 

Wonder if Ryan has it painted yet?

 

I restored one of these cars in 92 before going through my divorce I never got paid for it. I have picrures of it done. I had only the right 1/4 panel to finish and build a continental kit. It got locked in my shop via the ex and kept there for 2 years til a judge let me get in to get my stuff. The owner came and got the car. I never saw a dime for two years of work on it. He got it painted. He never put the chrome back on it. Maybe they got lost. It was burgandy in color. The Meteor looks better than the fFord. I think it is the trim and chrome that does it.

 

Not meaning to hi-jack this thread but a couple of months ago there was a nice stock 54 Meteor, I think it was a Sun Valley (2 dr ht, I know it did have a plexiglass 1/2 roof) for @ $14,000 that I should have picked up. It didn`t appear to need work, the price was right........
Not many of these rare cars around especially in the shape this one was in.

 

Yes that would have been me on my way into the city on Lorne.
And its a running now here is a video.

And yes there are quite a few (250ish) old Ford, Mercury, Monarch and Meteors for sale....but he knows what there worth and wants a lil more then that even.

 

Too bad I wasn`t home when you called going by, I would have liked a close up look.
Awesome, that it runs and drives is a big bonus.
Trade ya for an orange 85 F150 4X4.........I`ll even throw in a good 6 V battery that`s sitting around doing nothing..........

 

lol, thanks but no thanks

 

That`s what I thought.....Don`t blame ya one bit.......

 

Guess I might as well let the cat out of the bag, I dropped 2500 dollars for this beaut.

 

Wow, it`s very nice, complete and looks to be mostly rust free while running nicely, those don`t come cheap.

 

Theres enough rust and crust....... both quater panels are rusted through at the bottom. Rocker panels all alongide the car I will just cut completly off. both front fenders need a patch. 3 of 6 cab mounts are rusted off the other 3 need patch work.
