This Ford is selected for its ownership story and mechanical recommissioning, not for flawless timber. LBI describes more than 75 years within one family and roughly $33,000 of recent mechanical work. The seller also acknowledges the weathered wood, making the distinction between mechanical investment and body condition particularly important. A patinated flathead woodie with a substantial paper trail can be more compelling than an anonymous restoration, provided that trail and the remaining structural needs withstand inspection.

Evidence for this car
Wood structure and body fitInspect the lower rails, door frames, joints, fasteners and roof supports with a wood-body specialist. Check door alignment and separate weathered finish from structural deterioration.
The seller acknowledges weathered wood; a structural report is not supplied.
Recommissioning invoicesReview dated invoices for the reported 2023–2026 work and confirm which cooling, brake, fuel and wiring components were renewed. Inspect the finished work and remaining aged parts.
Seller reports approximately $33,000 of recent mechanical work.
Identity and ownership evidenceMatch chassis 99A1097092 with the title and family records. Establish the odometer’s meaning and document any electrical or drivetrain changes.
Long family ownership is seller-reported; lifetime mileage is not stated.
Who should shortlist it
A woodie enthusiast who values provenance and patina and has access to someone capable of evaluating structural timber and older Ford mechanicals.
What Waghoon could not verify
The family history and approximately $33,000 of work are seller claims pending invoice review. Mileage is not established. The wood’s condition needs a specialist assessment; recent mechanical spending does not establish body integrity. Waghoon has not independently inspected this vehicle. Confirm current availability and arrange an independent pre-purchase inspection before money changes hands.
