The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Car has not been restored but keep up through the years like a repaint, engine overhaul,and basic maintance, The interior was installed years ago and is vinyl good shape, Its bacically a solid original driver that can be driven anywhere, Being original with all Ford parts in todays market what would be a estimate on its value?

That's a hard call without seeing photos and more specific information. Example; how long ago was the motor overhauled? Was it a complete over haul or just a ring job? Was a new clutch installed? How is the wiring? Is it original or has it been replaced/ As you can see there are many unanswered questions. If it has vinyl interior that is not stock to this car. That would definitely detract from the value. If it has an older paint job how much body work or repair panels were done prior to the repaint. As you can see the question begs for a lot more information before we can get close to a value.

I totally understand as I have other restored cars. Here is what I know about your questions. Motor was gone through completely around 5000 miles ago and new clutch. Transmission was also checked out. Front end is tight and steering is fine but this was done about 10 years ago. Electrical was updated and is now 12 volt system with new cloth wrapped wires like orginals. Body has no rust and panels and fenders are very straight but its a driver and not show quality on the under side. I would rate it a 3 but a strong 3. Not a number 1 show or a 2. Like we would have driven in the 50's or 60's just a clean driver. Not really any scrathes in the paint.

I'll take a guess that it should be valued at $14,000-$16,000.

Many tanks- my estimate was around $18K for the info I had. This helps me out.
