We just drove 2 hrs to look at a "Rust Free" 1950 Ford Consul

We just drove two hours to check out this 1950 Ford Consul that's priced fairly reasonable. The ad says it's stripped to bare metal, no rust, ready to restore, excellent motor, needs interior.

Chad you’re a good man. Most people would’ve made several comments you really didn’t have much bad to say that shows good character I love watching your show

[@Tjones87]

That's part of the car hobby, going to look at "rust free" and coming home empty handed cause of rust issues. Always a chance when it comes to old school metal 👍

[@ApexWoodworks]

I'm a woodworker, Chad and I can't tell you how many machines I've seen advertised as "like new" that disappointed me when I came and looked at them. People will say anything these days. "Let the buyer beware" is always the best advice.

[@butziporsche8646]

If the ad says; "Cream Puff", run away!

[@garylamb4777]

No rust they said....

[@026dave]

I’m a woodworker myself and you are correct about that. Someone is always advertising their tools as like new , then you go look at it and it’s be put through hell and back.

Another great episode from Chad and Jolene! Thanks you two!

You took that very well Chad, very professional......its mind boggling to experience that. Just like when you see something is advertised 'mint' haha. Noticed you doing the backyard scan as you drove , I always do that when in unfamiliar territory, trying to catch a glimpse of that tailfin or chrome tucked in the yard. Thanks for all of your videos! Really enjoy them.

Been there done that Chad, Drove 6 hrs to pick up a 80's AMC 4x4 Concord woody wagon " rust free" runs and drives , oh ya the seat was falling through the floor as it sat in a small damp garage . Moss in and out of her ! The fellow was so upset that I didn't buy it as he said I told him it was a done deal ,lol and said he drove 5 hrs from the other way as it was his grandpa's and hadn't seen it for awhile , ya I was pissed too .

Another interesting road trip today. Chad and Jolene checking out another car.

[@crittercraig9445]

Great choice Chad and Jolene and Fina At least you know how to check out stuff and know exactly what it needs to be done to get what your picture of it is. That was a fair offer for what he had. Unless there was a couple of soild gold bolts you couldn't see? Ha Ha Hope you two had a safe trip. Always be safe in your travels and Take Care

[@jackbaxter1548]

Cool little car, thanks for showing it to us

[@fromthebeginningofvankind28]

I recently was looking at a 53 consul runner/driver. It really was relatively "rust free". It was a cool little car for a vintage 4 banger, and the fact that it had "trafficators" was way cool. I ended up walking away from it though because of parts availability. Because when you need say a wiper motor or a wheel cylinder you need it not o crap lets go see if someone happens to have one . Any way cool video I like your "on the hunt" video's just as much as your "in the shop" video's looking forward to your next one.

[@tomp1612]

Man a 53 Consul would be like finding parts for a 66 Mustang compared to the Consul Capri i've got! Even simple stuff like weatherstripping isn't available.. The 50 in the video looks pretty decent to me.Certainly fixable.

[@fromthebeginningofvankind28]

@@tomp1612 yea it really didn't look too bad from our angle and the price didn't seem to bad especially doing the canadian to u.s. dollar conversion ( yea i'm in the u.s.) and i guess by going custom and "making things work or creating one's own parts" it was "very dooable." but I was wanting to go with a traditional resto. I would have liked to see that 50 turned into a 2 door though. I think the owner was kinda offended when the 2 door conversion was mentioned lol

[@bradgates7067]

Thanks for showing (even the not-so-good), at least we get to see your process. If it's hard for you to see it thru, it would be a hell-of-a-challenge for someone that's not into it 100% It's certainly not rude to lay down, ask for a flash light, and check it out before you get it home.

[@mwa1114]

OK off topic Chad. I keep thinking about that shaker scoop on ol Elvis. I really like the look of it coming up thru the louvered panel with the 1/4 or so gap better then having weilded on it. But it's a lot of time and trial and error to get it spaced right, then hope the engine movement does not cause it to rub at times. Since you cant see the engine anyway, I think if a man was to mount the front to the cross brace with a bolted bracket and pin the back the firewall on both sides it would match the rest of the build, be off the engine, yet look like it was separate, coming thru and part of it. OR put some brackets on each side and front down under and weild them to the louvered pannel underneath which would do the same thing. Either would give the appearance of it coming off the engine, simplifying the build and keeping the spacing around the edge perfect. I've changed from, setting it on the panel, attaching to the engine and now attaching it to the panel with the same look as attached to the engine. Cant wait to see how you do it either way! 😁

[@NeilIrving1973]

Living in the UK I used to see a few of them knocking around, my dad served his apprenticeship in a Ford dealership and worked on them when they were nearly new 😊

[@buckhondo644]

So many times with the classic cars people like to misrepresent them. Then when you show up they act like they had no idea. Like they aren’t the one who owns it and never saw the rust or holes or license plates glued over the holes. And they always have a buyer that is ready to pay more than what you are. But they will come down a couple bucks for you. Interesting game we play with the cars!!!

[@ionedave]

Always good to go see something before you buy it

[@David_Walker16-3-51]

You would be really lucky to find a Mk1 in the UK that nice at that price these days. I would have bought it.

[@barriecollins6838]

Hi Chad and jolene I don't think you will get a car from the 50s without any rust holes in it unless it's all been repaired before but then you'll have to pay some good money for it. Keep up the great work the both of you 👍 👏

[@bizeerog2281]

[@riderzinc]

The mk1 consul's are the cheapest out of the range of Consul, Zephyr and Zodiac. Over in the uk that car would probably be worth about £800-1000 as it sits. Consul mk1 convertible is a different ball game all together. Rare and valuable

May I ask what do you looks at on older cars just in case I was to look at some in near future

[@johnnydanger57]

That sucks, I think all of us have been through "misrepresented" things for sale at some point. "No rust" usually means in the areas where the holes in the metal are, there is no rust...😉

[@simplysimon9868]

Chad a 289/302 fits in these. Here in the UK a well known family the Harris brothers used to build some quick cars. Roll them on their sides and do the mods for the engine swap.

[@CamaroRick]

Gotta love it tho. Some people think they have a gold mine because a finished car is worth a lot when in reality it takes a ton of money and labor to get it to that stage. You would really have to love the car to pull the trigger on it

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

Those old two-door Fords are not that expensive in the states. I've got a pretty decent customline V8 automatic or all original. Not ever repaint it even. He knows what the floorboards look like after setting for years. I know where their peers be even nicer body one only missing the backup lights. It's not that far south of the Canadian border and if you want to use the original paint it's good enough. I don't remember the interior. I can always tell you more information if you happen to read this and you're interested. There's a video that you can view and this one isn't mine. Happy hunting.

[@garybarry4446]

This should be fun I can visualize another chop

[@miceinoz1181]

Yes, square or round holes in the sills were the original jack location points in many old British cars. I had a 1953 Vauxhall with the same. Standards had them too I remember.

[@derekmckay9205]

Cool little car!

[@sharkinstx]

Not rust-free, but really not bad, especially for a 72-year-old car in Nova Scotia. It’s LHD - how many were imported into Canada? I’ve always liked the styling of those. Very modern, especially for a 1950 car in the UK. Compare it to a Prefect. I’d restomod it - keep it looking stock on the outside, drop a 2.3 EcoBoost four in it, a six-speed, and coilovers all the way around. Either that or restore it.

[@blanchae]

My advice from 50 years of buying and selling vehicles. You want to sell a car to get the best price and the most buyers - this is how you do it: take lots of pictures, show the best and the worst. This builds buyer confidence. When the buyer comes and looks, they should not be surprised but impressed with how the vehicle matches the add. If you are a buyer, be prepared to walk away. If you feel something isn't right, walk away. It's your intuition and experience that has picked up on something that your conscious hasn't yet. Could be the buyer's story, strange details on the car, anything.

[@jeffreyleblanc1430]

I’m a bit confused as I have no experience with old cars and metal work. I’ve seen you look at several cars that appeared in decent shape and you turned them down as you said there was just too much work to be done that you weren’t interested in doing. You appear to me to be a master fabricator and I’ve seen you completely transform cars in a very short period of time. I would think that repairing the sills for someone with your skill would be relatively quick and easy. Could you explain in more detail exactly what you look for in a car? Was it just the price and the fact that buddy was misleading with the condition. If buddy accepted your $1000 offer would you have taken it?

It won't start because the head is cracked and theres no compression. and water in the oil . A couple were rare enough I said I'll give you x and they go, oh no , my brother in law offered me double that, I say , I would call him immediately, while he is still in love with it. !
