Looking where the hood meets the cab. I looks like the hood is not pushed all the way closed. Perhaps sloppy photography?

In my option, the Ford V6 does not help the value. Some time back I could of got a slick P444 with a Chevy 350 for way less then $20,000.

I didn't click that far through the ad, a 4.0 V6... really? He must have had it just lying around, I don't know why anyone would use that when there are SO many better options out there. Ford 5.0, LS, LT1, red block, white block, hell, even a Chevy 350 as antique as it is!

I can see why he might not go I5, V8 or maybe a late model I4 that need electronics support... heads won't fit between the radiator and firewall.

Oh dude. I have butterflies. This is near me. I don't need this. But I kinda need this. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight.

The low miles might be a broken odo gear. Seems like a non car guy seller.

I love the color and a normal 59 PV544 Sport had a 1600cc engine. So this is a nice possibility if I had the money. Scary issue and maybe I am missing it, but what is holding the battery in place in the trunk?

That 850 looks really nice! That nasty wood trim on the glove box HAS to go though.

The fit and finish of this PV544 is not good. The battery appears loose. The truck mat is just tossed in place. The seats look tired but clean. This looks a lot like the 'restorations' a local guy used to do - shiny on the outside and old junk underneath.

This has been on my craigslist for awhile so I figured I'd share it. Seems overpriced to me but the paint looks decent and honestly if I ever sold my car i'd love to get something in that range hah
