1963 Ford Barn Find | Full Transformation

Ford Taunus 17M TS P3 1963 found in Hälsingland Sweden.

You can tell that real men with dedication, passion, and vision, with their desire to satisfy the customer went into the effort of bringing this car to life. That is what gave it character, and why almost no cars being made today have it. Mostly computer aided design, and design by committee is destroying the auto manufacturing business.

Est ce qu'on emmène nos histoires ? Les bonnes et les mauvaises. Quelle complicité j'avais avec ma sœur à cette époque... comme le temps peut tout abîmer, tout saccager...mon insulte suprême quand nous étions fâchés c'était de l'appeler la grosse dondon elle était pas grosse du tout mais ça la fâché et moi j'étais content et ça durait pas on recommençait à s'aimer et a chercher quelle connerie on pourrait faire ? Aujourd'hui c'est un monstre en quelque sorte, et pourtant quelques fois elle me manque, on a toujours de vieux réflexes qui reviennent mais paralysés par le réel, le présent. Ford Taunus était la division Ford Allemagne avec une réputation excellente et il produisait de belles autos dont celle ci et aussi la 20 m qui lui a succédé.

[@railtrolley]

Some of the early Ford Cortinas were sold in the US. Be a rare sight now. I saw a clip on youtube of a typical 1970s car chase: Galaxies etc, and I spotted a Cortina, and an MGB parked in the streets. The Cortina was sold here, in Australia, from the first model 1962 to the last 1985. I saw a restored Mark 1 Cortina, early 1960s a little while ago. The 1970s Cortinas here were available with the Falcons 250c.i. 6 cylinder.

Awesome! my father had a 1961 Taunus 17M just like this one excepting it did not have the back up light and the rear aluminum body panel was in the same colour of the rest of the body. If I am not wrong, I remember it had a 6 volt electric system so when you turned on the main lights there was not much difference et all and the engine was quite slow even by the standards of the era. That said, I loved this car and find quite remarkable that young people are interested in rescuing these treasures and put them for sale. Congratulations! and keep doing the nice job.

It's very distinctive, to say the least. It caught my eye browsing thumbnails on YT videos immediately. We didn't get this version in the USA, we did get the UK version Cortina around the same time with the differently styled body. I was not even born yet when this car was made and it has held up though the decades incredibly well. It actually looks nearly new after he detailed it!

@@kennethcal8568 I wasn't of that generation but it seems to me from what I gather from my parents and others that age that times were so much better overall in so many ways that my generation (and I am still older now) cannot conceive of today. I've always said I would have been much happier growing up and living during the 1950s and 60s especially. I'm guessing that your family members had the Cortina version. Still quite a nice looking car. I'd say a bit nicer looking than this Taunus of the same year.

[@kennethcal8568]

@@horseathalt7308 This car (Taunus 17M) is definitely part of the memories I cherish. Some family members had the same one (copy cats?): society was a lot more materialistic, indifferent and wastefull, back then. But I certainly don't look back with regret: really enjoyed the car cuture, despite the (hidden) costs! Nowadays I don't own a car anymore: I enjoy biking and using public transport, but the car is still an alternative. I'm also more focused on our climate and support a society, that benefits all it's citizens: this way minimizing friction, discontent and animosity. Regarding the 50's or 60's: every generation has it ups and downs (pros and cons?): it's just how they are perceived and processed, I guess. Also: we share one planet and should take good care of it and it's inhabitants, because there's no backup planet! Fortunately, more and more people in The Netherlands share this opinion: hopefully this will become the norm globally.

@@lotharrenz4621 All correct :). The OHV straight 4 was a derivative of the english Ford Consul engine that debuted in 1951, but it had been reworked to metric standards and had a displacement somewhere between its english brethren. As far as i know few parts other than the oil pump is said to match between them. And as for the TS engine, it´s very much another deal than the regular 1.5/1.7/1.8.

[@donkmeister]

Love the power drill approach to valve grinding; I've never seen them literally rusted to the seats before so can understand why you did that instead of the usual sucker tool for turning by hand.

[@ronwilken5219]

Totally the wrong way to grind valve seats. Quick and dirty. All that grinding paste blown everywhere. Never cleaned the crap out of the cylinders. Lord knows how many broken rings after having sat forever and a day. No flush of the old engine oil out of the crankcase. Just drain and refill. Distributor not cleaned, so lots of garbage under, I'm sure. Did the carburetor ever get cleaned? Drive down the road, which sounded like a bucket of bolts just before the bottom drops out. Bodywork and interior in reasonable shape, though we never got to see inside the trunk/boot. Could be a gaping hole in the floor or a skeleton or two. Spare wheel? I note the new tire on the left rear. Reminds me of a Ford consol from UK of about that vintage. They were rust buckets, as I remember, even in Africa. Might be worth someone buying it to restore the engine, etc. Good luck saving that one without a total teardown. Transmission? Anyone's guess, manual or automatic?

That is a great find. My dad had the 17m v4 think it was 1968 model when we lived in West Germany , great memories.

Snyggt jobbat. Fin blev den och efter lite ventilfix hostade den igång. Ha det Bra.

Ford forever! 🤩 Well done! I suppose the carburettor needs some love and the timing on the correct position. Don't forget the lead additive for the fuel. Nice Taunus! 👍

What a difference, a barn yard makes. Inside & outside.

The P3 has such an attractive windscreen.

[@hasseslaggmek3573]

It was the first european car to have this type of "bulbous" windscreen reminiscent of the american GM cars of the early sixties and the like, seems few ever followed suit. Fun fact; the project P3´s chief designer Wesley Dahlberg that was sent over to West Germany to head this job (although much of the credit for the swoopy curves goes to Uwe Bahnsen who´s last work was the european Ford Sierra, known in the US as the Merkur XR4i) was the son of immigrants hailing from the city of Sundsvall (or the vicinity of it) so it kind of is right at home. Good work getting it running and looking so fresh btw, i do car recond myself for a living and wish i could have kept my own 17M but had to let it go. Maybe someday another one... Oh, and i´m swedish, living not far from Sundsvall. Btw 2, i recall having read somewhere that the Opel Ascona 2nd gen headlight reflectors are a match for the Taunus 17M, both P3 and P5 ("Grosser Badewanne" 1965-67) but you better check the numbers on that before buying.

The Simca Chambord had a similar windscreen called in french " Panoramique" since 1957​@@hasseslaggmek3573

Der Mann hat kein Gefühl für Oldtimer. Aber gut, dass er den Ford gerettet hat

[@Newie67]

Dachte ich auch gerade. Den Wagen polieren aber den Rost ignorieren.

[@montecharly122]

Ich finde es ok. Immerhin hat er ihn erstmal wieder flott gemacht und offensichtlich gerettet. Warum soll man erstmal nicht den verbleibenden guten Lack schützen bzw. lediglich polieren? Ist doch kein großes Ding. An den verbleibenden Rost geht er vielleicht später ran. Es kann und will vielleicht auch nicht jeder so ein Fahrzeug immer gleich in seine Einzelteile zerlegen, ihn vielleicht für zwei Jahren in der Garage verschwinden lassen und von grundauf, sandstrahlen, grundieren,lackieren, versiegeln usw.. Muss doch nicht immer gleich perfekt sein. Ich finde den super so mit Patina.

Du meinst Verschlimmbessert.

[@glexttv6239]

@@montecharly122 Das stimmt den Lack würde ich auch so lassen. Er hätte sich aber mehr mit dem Motor beschäftigen müssen, denn der läuft total unruhig und hat keine Leistung.

Good discovery, in addition to having a modern design for a Ford, it also has something particular that the Ford's 6 inline cylinders did not have, additional lubrication in the valve rocker line. My neighbor at home had the same one from 1962 without a clutch. But with a gearbox. Today I would use it every day.
