The '56 is pretty much the way I bought it. 223 6cyl(soon to be replaced with a 312 out of a '56 T-bird), stick shift= 25mpg in town and a touch over 28 on the interstate. Ragged upholstery and a little rust here & there but it works great for a daily driver! I don't haul iron with the Ford, I've a truck for that.
Best thing about the using the car for collecting scrap is it doesn't fit the stereotypical 'scrapper's ride' profile so I can go into the rich parts of town without drawing negative attention. If anything it works well as an icebreaker!
