1939 Ford Standard Sedan V8-60

This car is a genuine barn find out of Montana. Developed a bit of a mouse problem, ubsequently the interior was removed from the frames and a small hole was cut in the drivers floor to facilitatepressure washing. Glass is good for age with exception of drivers window which is broken and missing a piece. This is a super cool car as not many came with V8-60s. i thought I would pull the motor to be used in another project as they are so rare, ut I have a enough projects (don't we all). All the trim is intact and in the car, ll the seat frames are intact but require upholstery.
Here's a little info on the V8-60:Ford came out with the small V8-60 in 1937 to provide a more fuel efficient and less expensive option to the regular 85hp equipped cars and light commercial vehicles. These engines were obvious by their small size and the17 Studheads. Ford also built the 60hp engine for the European market with some modifications. The water pumps are also mounted in a common casting that mounts to the front of the engine and serves as the timing cover and engine mount. In the first year of production, hese engines had "tin" sided outer water jackets which were welded onto the cylinder portion of the block. The production of the tin-sided blocks ended in April, 937. Late 1937 and newer model year vehicles had the newer and more conventional "all cast iron" blocks. 1940 was the final year for the 60hp since the new 90hp six cylinder engine would debut for 1941.
The V8 Sixty was a popular engine for aftermarket applications, articularly in midget race cars in the 1950's and 60's. It can also be found in some of today's custom "big bike" motorcycles.The Ford three speed transmission used with the V860 is unique to that engine and does not interchange with the standard 85 or 95hp flathead V8 engines.
