The 1947 Ford is on the hoist... ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC ❌

We decided it was time to put the 1947 Ford Super Deluxe Business Coupe (or is it a 1946) up on the hoist and the only word to describe what we found is pathetic. The missing mounts are minor compared to what we just found
Remember, it was advertised as "rust free, original, one repaint, safety certified, no need to spend anymore cash on this beauty."

I remember the seller saying the car had been for sale for a while due to buyers not liking the colour of the interiors upholstery. I think it was still for sale because potential buyers had taken the time to inspect the underside and body of the car and found it needed significant repairs.

So your saying the buyers should have walked away from 3k plus expenses and time? Your also saying its ok for seller to do it to the next guy too? ITS sickening that the burdon should be on the buyers.

[@TomPetersonRefuseReuse]

Well Chad, I'm an auto mechanic, and I get very upset with my customers that buy cars without putting it on a lift first. As my dad would say, if the seller won't let you take it to a mechanic to look over, don't buy it. I won't even give an exhaust repair quote without putting it on the lift. Everything looks different on the lift.

[@clintupham4466]

Although true, he did buy one that was on a lift and certified did he not. And that comes with a price because that certificate can make the car worth much more. It's fraud.

I don't care. It's a good looking car inside and out. It made it home some 1400 miles (2000 km). Just fix the fucking thing and enjoy. What you're doing now, you should have done before handing over the cash. EDIT: Okay. My comment above was before watching the video. But I stand by what I said. NO ONE is disagreeing about the seller's misrepresentations. He may very well have committed fraud. That shoddy repair work, done sometime in the past IS, in fact, pathetic. And most likely NOT certifiable for safety purposes But THAT is not the point. The fact is that you paid some twenty thousand plus dollars for the car and couldn't be bothered to ask for it to be driven to the closest lift for further inspection. Had you done so, you would have either walked away, or negotiated a $10-15,000 reduction in price. You chose to do neither.

[@dral9657]

There is no hole in the frame is a clue to what and how that is for. The L bracket has a hard rubber pad that supports the running boards. A center bolt fastens the rubber bushing to the bracket and the running board sits firmly on top of the rubber pad. Had you consulted with someone who knows, you wouldn’t have to assume or keep guessing. This is straight forward for those of us who have knowledge in these areas .

[@jakester455]

I was shocked when Chad purchased this vehicle with little more than a cursory look at it. In watching many car build and restoration shows I have watched as they throughly examined every vehicle prior to puchasing them. To include wallowing in mud and worse to verify the sellers statements in regards to the intended purchase. One of the tells for me as regards a problem was when just prior to puchase Chad turned to Jolene and asked if she liked the car, her response was; 'If you do, I do'. After three plus years of watching Chad and Jolene interact it seemed a bit strange that she was not more specific when answering. Chad messed up. Plain and simple. All the whining in the world does not relieve him of the responsibilty of not doing due diligence before purchasing this car. 'It was to close to the wall'. 'How was I to see this, that and the other thing under the car'. Give me a break. You are a professional. I've seen you look, look, and look again before doling out cash. 'Let The Buyer Beware', is the foundational position from which to start the examination of a potential purchase. Just please stop the whining!

@@mritron7649It is obvious that this seller was being less then forthcoming from the beginning of their discussion. And as it went on the little details, such as the way the vehicle was conveniently parked in a way to inhibit a detailed examination As well as nuances in the conversation that should have been triggers. Particularly in the purchasing of vintage vehicles sadly a buyer has to assume that there will be discoveries that the seller will not reveal. They then will claim ignorance of the basis whatever that discovery or the less then truthful advertisement for the sale excluded or embellished. It's was Chad's responsibility to thoroughly examine the vehicle, top to bottom, front to back before purchase. Chad let himself and Jolene down by being flippant in the why he handlec this situation. I have never seen a vehicle purchased by Chad or other similar You Tubers were they didn't get a good look at the undercarriage. The mount that started the downward spiral of discoveries was 6" underneath the vehicle. Chad just needs to accept responsibility for a poorly executed purchase and move on. The whining is a bit much, and is about to run me off. He is even making reference to the situation as he starts the new project.

He was on the phone immediately begging me to retract as it was 'costing him sales'! I said only if you take car back and refund. I got 95% refund... ONLY because I had that feedback power. Otherwise he would have done nothing and the legal people I spoke to said not worth trying to sue over the ad. So if you took the time to read that.... BE WARY! Trust noone.

[@barriecollins6838]

Chad and jolene your right they are body mounts that have the bits missing also there's no way the car passed an inspection in that condition. You have definitely got your hands full getting the bodywork sorted out it's got more holes than a cheese greater. Hopefully you can sort it out which I'm sure you can. Keep up the great work the both of you 👏 👍

Here in Saskatchewan, you have 30 days to return with full refund if the vehicle is misrepresented...private or a dealer. That car was so badly misrepresented and not only in one AD, but the man had a second Ad with a different year on the exact same car 😳

Sometimes even a smart car guy gets taken, its repairable, its still a beautiful car, but the best part of this video in my opinion is when you showed you were humble and thinking of those that have just endured tradgedy, good to hear some people can still lick their wounds count their blesings and still think of others and move on! Thank you!

[@magnusltd]

I think you're 100% correct; not as advertised. And sure, you could've done this or that. The car on looks is beautiful. You'll make it better. The repair price you're thinking about may be a little light due to what you'll find on tear down. I'm guessing around $20-25 grand more to get it just right. Best of luck to you two. Stay happy.

I would have made a B-line to get my money back. Chad and Jolene probably got one-way tickets based on the phone calls to the owner and the "rust free and certified " add prior to leaving. I mean, you kinda expect some issues when buying a used car that the owner won't disclose, but this is ridiculous! But hey...it makes for GREAT content! 😂

Stop whining…… you didn´t buy it unseen, blame your self. It´s to hard to watch, Im out……

[@dansautorestoration]

I’m catching up on missed videos and finally got to this one. You are 100% right that, that car would never have passed a safety inspection here in Ontario. However, I don’t know if this is a thing anywhere else, but here you can find some shady shops/mechanics who will sell you a fake “hot” safety. I haven’t been around many shops for several years, but the cost of a legal safety was around $75 plus any applicable repairs which could be prohibitive for some people to afford. So some of the shady parties would sell you a “hot” safety for a couple hundred bucks. And hope that they don’t get caught. The ministry has tried to curb this problem by limiting the number of safeties a shop can do in a specific time frame. The shops have to buy the certificate book per safety certificate, based on the average safeties the shop performs within that time frame. To many more than that number flags the shop to be audited. However, the ministry have left a loop hole that some of the shady shops use to their advantage: the safety is valid for 36 days, but that really only means you have 36 days to register and plate the vehicle through the ministry. Technically the safety is only good for the day the safety was issued. An old mechanic told me about it. For example the vehicle may have a crappy exhaust on it, but as long as it is securely attached and not leaking, it is ok as far as the safety criteria is concerned, but if the exhaust falls off the next day it is not relevant to the shop because it was fine enough the day it was safetied. Plus if anything is changed after the safety, I will use the exhaust as an example again. Here the exhaust has to have a catalytic convertor to be safetied, but if you remove it to modify the exhaust the next day, it voids the safety because it is no longer in the same condition as was safetied.

[@deborahbaker6560]

When Chad looked under the car at the owner's place what the hell was he looking at? The rust would have been evident as was the missing mounts. The missing mounts should have been a red flag. to him to look deeper. He said he spent $3000 to travel to Toronto for the car and didn't want to come home empty handed. So he was foolish enough to buy it for some $25,000. With an estimated 12-15 thousand dollars he figures to repair it he would have been money ahead to just walk away. Where in the hell was this SO Called Business manager Jolene all this time? Probably out shopping for clothes is my guess. The car had been for sale for awhile according to the seller because people didn't like the red interior. BS!! My guess is they were sharp enough to look under the car and determine it was a Rust Bucket!!

I bought an older car much the same way you did in this video. It was a California car and body rust was not an issue. But believe me it had plenty of other issues. It was my fault for not inspecting MUCH closer the interior and running gear, including the transmission. I was able to save the car, after much work and cost, but I was so disgusted I sold it. The person who bought it got a good deal and was happy. I did not want a phone call like this buyer had to make. I, of course lost a significant amount of money. It was a lesson WELL learned. I will NOT buy any used car without a thorough inspection. Eleven years ago I bought a used Lexus in 'very' nice condition from a dealer. Because of my previous experience, I bought the extended warranty. The car, with 54k, was an anomaly from Lexus and had some major mechanical issues. They (Lexus) completely fixed everything that was wrong and I ended up with virtually a new car. I just dread buying a car and have not done so for some years now. All the best. I understand your pain.

Nope, that is not a running board as you are not able to stand on it as can be done on earlier cars. Running boards are quite promenant, this is just a sill. Just imagine, you have been ripped off by a fellow Canadian. What you have is 'Caveat Emptor' (let the buyer beware). I do not know how much you paid for it, but surely you would move the car so you could put a jack under it and do your due diligence. For someone with your experience, it really is your own fault. Fortunately you are just the man with the right skills to fix this body up.

[@georgefletcher5596]

You should contact the Ontario ministry of transportation and let them know who safetied this car. They are clearly not qualified to for that position. The seller is responsible to meet that criteria. He knew exactly what he was selling . There are laws that protect you from this in Ontario.

You should always take a used car (especially an old one) to a shop and have it looked at before you buy it. You spent $23000 on the word of the owner you never met before. Plus if you had read the certification you would of seen it was expired. This is all on you. Don't blame anyone else.

Wow! I originally thought you were too hard on Larry (or whatever his name was?) But now that I see under the car you are 100% correct that it won’t pass NS Motor Vehicle Inspection. Would love to call the guy who inspected this to get his story. Certainly doesn’t sound plausible that it fell apart after that was performed. You can excuse things like tire wear or ball joint wear since last inspection but what you showed us did not happen after inspection normal wear. Lots of folks shitting on ya for not doing a deeper dive and I always tell people to pay $50 bucks to get it up in the air at a local independent shop. In my experience they have no emotional attachment and happy to pick a car apart for you and tell you what they think it needs. Almost impossible to see under a car properly on the ground and I’ve been there where you like a car and trusting, I repeat trusting what the owner tells you. Most times it’s a regular Joe or Jane that wouldn’t know what’s under their own car but your guy Larry? has credentials, paperwork, and typed all that information in an ad giving his ‘appraisal’ of the car. So, this look underneath got me shaking my head and I have lots of questions for the appraiser dude and the mechanic who certified this poor old 1947 fella that still needs some love and attention.

You are right there are two body mounts missing, with that said the sills are not load-bearing since the car has a frame. So one hour to fix two body mounts, the rest is cosmetic. The sills are standard rust places on those Fords, so if you had done some investigations before you had known where to look/and feel. Finally, where I live I should be very careful not to accuse someone of fraud on youtube, could be very expensive.

[@tobefair1000]

Did you make the repairs? I have a 1947 Sedan where the running boards and rockers need replacing. Like your car somebody has fabricated and layered on body fill to make a low standard repair which is not sound. My car was also supposed to be inspected as road legal. I plan to purchase new reproduction running boards and rockers made by EMS (Engineering Mechanical Services) of Detroit and replace the inner sills which are rusted through near the body mounts with sheet metal.
