That is what gave it character, and why almost no cars being made today have it. Mostly computer aided design, and design by committee is destroying the auto manufacturing business.

I was surprised how well the paint on my Opel Manta shined up back in 1994. Sat in an alley for years. Thank goodness dash pad was covered with towels from the San Diego Sun. Good German Paint ! Drove car for ten years !
these barn finds are bullcrap. They took a restored car flattened the tires, sprayed a bunch of chicken crap on them then washed them. Voila! No way the interior wouldn't be eaten away by animals in a real barn find.
In an identical car, owned by my uncle, we drove in 1966 - when I was 4 years old - from Essen/Germany to the Costa Dorada in Spain. With my parents, uncle, aunt and my 2 cousins. So, all in all 7 persons and I was sitting between my father's legs on the passenger seat... Btw: Great job.
I am 76 years old; I have had over 60 cars registered in my name. I had the 1961 Ford Taunus. It was one of the finest cars I have ever experienced. I wish I still had it.
Cool body style, I do not think we ever got this model over here. Amazing how they turned the rectangular headlights, with trim, making them look so different. The body style has aged well.
Borrowed much from the early-‘60’s Ford Falcon design (note its body & roof design, as well as instrumentation cluster design). Its “lozenge-shaped” headlights was the distinctive difference from U.S.. Anything other than ROUND headlights were forbidden in U.S. at that time. Still, a Ford Falcon design all the way.
My father had a 17m just like this one and my mother had a 12m both were red. My mother later changed hers for a 1967 4 speed 12m also red. Memories from Peru.
Not the most beautiful car ever made! But boy, it got me emotional seeing an old memory coming back to life! A real pleasure! Thanks a lot for the sweet moments! 👍👋
It's very distinctive, to say the least. It caught my eye browsing thumbnails on YT videos immediately. We didn't get this version in the USA, we did get the UK version Cortina around the same time with the differently styled body. I was not even born yet when this car was made and it has held up though the decades incredibly well. It actually looks nearly new after he detailed it!
@@horseathalt7308 Never had one myself. But I remember as a young boy, seeing older family members showing off their fancy car: the UK version. Always fun, reminiscing the good old times!

@@horseathalt7308 This car (Taunus 17M) is definitely part of the memories I cherish.

But I certainly don't look back with regret: really enjoyed the car cuture, despite the (hidden) costs! Nowadays I don't own a car anymore: I enjoy biking and using public transport, but the car is still an alternative. I'm also more focused on our climate and support a society, that benefits all it's citizens: this way minimizing friction, discontent and animosity. Regarding the 50's or 60's: every generation has it ups and downs (pros and cons?): it's just how they are perceived and processed, I guess.

Awesome! my father had a 1961 Taunus 17M just like this one excepting it did not have the back up light and the rear aluminum body panel was in the same colour of the rest of the body. If I am not wrong, I remember it had a 6 volt electric system so when you turned on the main lights there was not much difference et all and the engine was quite slow even by the standards of the era.

Love the power drill approach to valve grinding; I've never seen them literally rusted to the seats before so can understand why you did that instead of the usual sucker tool for turning by hand.
Totally the wrong way to grind valve seats. Quick and dirty. All that grinding paste blown everywhere. Never cleaned the crap out of the cylinders. Lord knows how many broken rings after having sat forever and a day. No flush of the old engine oil out of the crankcase. Just drain and refill. Distributor not cleaned, so lots of garbage under, I'm sure. Did the carburetor ever get cleaned? Drive down the road, which sounded like a bucket of bolts just before the bottom drops out. Bodywork and interior in reasonable shape, though we never got to see inside the trunk/boot. Could be a gaping hole in the floor or a skeleton or two. Spare wheel? I note the new tire on the left rear. Reminds me of a Ford consol from UK of about that vintage. They were rust buckets, as I remember, even in Africa. Might be worth someone buying it to restore the engine, etc. Good luck saving that one without a total teardown. Transmission? Anyone's guess, manual or automatic?
Love's labour. Remembering how I pulled out my '77 Ambassador, two left wheels of which had fallen into a drain, using the stock jack and a plank. Love horn rings 😊
Something of an early sixties Continental/Thunderbird vibe in the headlight and grille design. Not saying it's identical, but like there may have been some crossover among the styling studios.
This video made me remind my first car, an 1952 Oldsmobile. I did many things like this video is shown. My dear mum had a 1960 Ford Taunun 17m, but me reaching photos in internet I realized it was a 1959 model (1957-1959), always keeping the shaoe of those 1957 American Ford designes. This beauriful orange *1963 Ford Taunus 17m* of German manufacrure (1960-1963) has a big similariry to 1963 Ford Thunderbird, same lines, even headlight shape, it is oval-rectangle. Roof rear pilar same as 1960 American Ford Falcon, and many ornamental accesories also. Sorry my basic English. XD Greetings from 🇨🇱 Santiago Chile SouthAmerica. 😉
Great to see how you save these cars! I'm from the Netherlands and was one time in Sweden. Hopefully there are more old gems hidden for you to find. Best regards, Mart
That is such a great find and cool car! We have no small Fords like this in Canada, but I wish we did. The interior is trendy. The body is in very good condition. I’d buy it, if it wasn’t so far away. I was impressed you did a valve job and head reinstall with just basic tools. Well done 👍
Je jamais faire des travaux comme cette vidéo sur votre voiture qui elle a posé plusieurs années 😢😢du bricolage total Il manque 1) de lentigel 2 ) vidange de boîte à vitesse 3 ) change le filtre à air 4 ) vidange du liquide des freins 5 ) nettoyage complet du carburateur 6) vidange du réservoir 7) contrôle de l’étanchéité des sous pape 8) réglé des sous pape 9) voir l’état des pneus et les changer Réfléchissez bien avant d’une remise en route d’une voiture qui a posé plusieurs années 🎉🎉🎉
Tout à fait d'accord. Quid des freins, de l'embrayage, du réseau électrique ? Pas de prise de compression, ni de mesure de l'étanchéité, après remontage de la culasse. Juste fait un rodage de soupapes à la va-vite. Le silencieux est percé ou débranché. Les paraboles de phares sont ternies. Cette Ford Taunus 17M est quand même une bonne fille !
The firing order is out. He set the firing order at 1243 and it should be 1342. The distributor rotates coungter clockwise. He done it as clockwise. Sounds like a bag of nails. and has no power. No compression and ground valves in wrong. Not a very good mechanic.
Danke für diesen Kommentar. Ich finde es immer beeindruckend, wie Leute mit dem Hochdrckreiniger ein Auto "restaurieren". Da wird literweise Wasser auf den Motor geblasen, etc, etc, aber das Fahrzeug richtig anschauen mCht man nicht.
@@neilsa9292 Becasuse he isnt a proper mechanic. Also he yanked the car out of the barn. He had no idea if hte car was in gear or brakes were locked up.
What a cool find!. And my birth year. As an American, I sure am familiar with Ford, but many of these cute little Fords made for the European market I have never seen nor heard of before. I'd fix that little guy up and keep it.
Mais que ça fait drôle, la " mienne " était blanche, et les souvenirs ont continués d'affluer, le boxer qui ne demandait qu'à jouer, les fourmis sur l'établi, ma petite pièce quand j'allais chercher un paquet de Gauloise , les faux billets que l'on suspendaient à un fil nylon et que l'on soulevaient vite fait quand un passant voulait les prendre ..le charbon que l'on a fait livrer chez la coiffeuse.. qu'est-ce qu'on a rigolé ! Est ce qu'on emmène nos histoires ? Les bonnes et les mauvaises. Quelle complicité j'avais avec ma sœur à cette époque... comme le temps peut tout abîmer, tout saccager...mon insulte suprême quand nous étions fâchés c'était de l'appeler la grosse dondon elle était pas grosse du tout mais ça la fâché et moi j'étais content et ça durait pas on recommençait à s'aimer et a chercher quelle connerie on pourrait faire ? Aujourd'hui c'est un monstre en quelque sorte, et pourtant quelques fois elle me manque, on a toujours de vieux réflexes qui reviennent mais paralysés par le réel, le présent. Ford Taunus était la division Ford Allemagne avec une réputation excellente et il produisait de belles autos dont celle ci et aussi la 20 m qui lui a succédé.
Some of the early Ford Cortinas were sold in the US. Be a rare sight now. I saw a clip on youtube of a typical 1970s car chase: Galaxies etc, and I spotted a Cortina, and an MGB parked in the streets. The Cortina was sold here, in Australia, from the first model 1962 to the last 1985. I saw a restored Mark 1 Cortina, early 1960s a little while ago. The 1970s Cortinas here were available with the Falcons 250c.i. 6 cylinder.
@@railtrolley je ne comprends rien à votre charabia... vous pouvez parler en t'chi si vous voulez mais là on sait même pas si c'est du Corse où de l'hébreu.
That is awesome! I have never seen one of those before. But, I live in Canada and have never left the continent. What a fabulous find! Too cool! I also love that because of it's age, there isn't a ton of electronic computerized gizmos to get in the way of maintenance.
I was expecting the car to have the V4 Taunus engine. What a great find and I hope it isn't restored to concourse condition but just repaired where necessary and to keep its patina.
@rutzirutz5838 correct, but that is an entirely different vehicle. the P4 was the front-driven small car succeeding the "Weltkugel"-Taunus. the P3 succeeded the "Barock-Taunus" P2, and it a good bit larger. it kept the OHV straight-4 until the next generation of it, the P5. there, V4 and V6 saw use.
@@lotharrenz4621 All correct :). The OHV straight 4 was a derivative of the english Ford Consul engine that debuted in 1951, but it had been reworked to metric standards and had a displacement somewhere between its english brethren. As far as i know few parts other than the oil pump is said to match between them. And as for the TS engine, it´s very much another deal than the regular 1.5/1.7/1.8. Important to bear in mind when shopping for parts.
@rutzirutz5838 Yup, it was developed in the USA alongside the venerable Windsor V8 engine and therefore shares a few bits and pieces, especially the early versions of both engines. There has been said that also the english Essex V4/V6 shares a few parts parts, but not many. You also find the Taunus V4 (a k a Köln/Cologne V4 - the V6 was a evolution of the V4 built in West Germany and also used in the Mustang II) in the Saab 96/95 and a few other oddball cars such as Matra M530. Saab had a lot to do with shaking out bugs from the original engine and managed to churn out far more horsepower in rallye tuned engines than Ford themselves though possible. Seems the1.7 was last used in the european 1979 Granada, 1.5 displacement was produced a couple more years for Saab only, 1981 i think, when the 1.7 ceased production due to emission laws. The entire Cologne family of engines roots back to the little V4 and ended with the 4.0 SOHC V6 that made it into the Mustang as a base engine.
Of course, Ford UK and Ford Köln (Cologne) were in the same company after all. Cortina and Taunus were sisters who grew more and more alike over the years.
@@Rammstein56 Both Ford Köln and Dagenham were of course owned by the Big Oval in the States but very much separate entities when this car was made. Dagenham was much more conservative than Köln on things like which end of the car had to be connected to the engine.
Was für ein Auto 🚗 Phantastisch. Jetzt bin ich 69 Jahre alt. Mit 18 Jahren habe ich mir, zusammen mit den Eltern einen Ford 17 M, Baureihe P5, gekauft. Das Auto war noch fahrbereit. Es sollte nur für den fahr Anfang sein. Drei mal bekam er TÜV. Bleifrei Kraftstoff hat er nicht vertragen. Und vom Hohlraum Schutz hat er nicht viel gesehen. Trotzdem ein klasse Fahrzeug. Viel Freude und Spaß mit gehabt. Hat mich treu zur Bundeswehr gebracht und wieder nach Hause. Wie heisst es noch : Bis das der TÜV euch scheidet 😢😢😢. Mit Tränen in den Augen denke ich noch daran zurück. ❤

Now that’s a real Survivor and a 2 door on top of that,cheers from the USA,In Germany we called that A Badewanne,translated Bath tub I love old cars Thanks for showing this true Classic
Given that Sweden drove on the left until 1967, it's interesting that this 1963 Ford is LHD rather than RHD. I'd read that a big driver behind the swap to right hand traffic was that people had been buying used LHD cars from neighbouring countries with right hand traffic as they were cheaper than "official" Swedish market cars.
I was surprised to see it LHD - mine came from near Malmo and was a 1962 RHD - story was it was parked up in 64 after the death of 1st owner who bought it new in South Africa - it was bought by a British squadie who was stationed in Keil in 1971 - I got it in 74 with 260,000 km and a knackered engine - I put a Cortina 1500 gt motor in it and sold it on in 75 - Good vid !!!
Ford forever! 🤩 Well done! I suppose the carburettor needs some love and the timing on the correct position. Don't forget the lead additive for the fuel. Nice Taunus! 👍
So much character this little car has.....I can imagine the fun 😊 that was had throughout the entire process.... Thank you so much for sharing.... Scotty in Alabama 😎
It was the first european car to have this type of "bulbous" windscreen reminiscent of the american GM cars of the early sixties and the like, seems few ever followed suit. Fun fact; the project P3´s chief designer Wesley Dahlberg that was sent over to West Germany to head this job (although much of the credit for the swoopy curves goes to Uwe Bahnsen who´s last work was the european Ford Sierra, known in the US as the Merkur XR4i) was the son of immigrants hailing from the city of Sundsvall (or the vicinity of it) so it kind of is right at home. Good work getting it running and looking so fresh btw, i do car recond myself for a living and wish i could have kept my own 17M but had to let it go. Maybe someday another one... Oh, and i´m swedish, living not far from Sundsvall. Btw 2, i recall having read somewhere that the Opel Ascona 2nd gen headlight reflectors are a match for the Taunus 17M, both P3 and P5 ("Grosser Badewanne" 1965-67) but you better check the numbers on that before buying.
Good discovery, in addition to having a modern design for a Ford, it also has something particular that the Ford's 6 inline cylinders did not have, additional lubrication in the valve rocker line. My neighbor at home had the same one from 1962 without a clutch. But with a gearbox. Today I would use it every day.
Ich meine, dass mein Onkel so einen hatte. Aber der hatte vorne eine durchgehende Sitzbank, also keine Einzelsitze. Ist das möglich? Ich war ein Kleinkind, damals.

Ich finde es ok. Immerhin hat er ihn erstmal wieder flott gemacht und offensichtlich gerettet. Warum soll man erstmal nicht den verbleibenden guten Lack schützen bzw. lediglich polieren? Ist doch kein großes Ding. An den verbleibenden Rost geht er vielleicht später ran. Es kann und will vielleicht auch nicht jeder so ein Fahrzeug immer gleich in seine Einzelteile zerlegen, ihn vielleicht für zwei Jahren in der Garage verschwinden lassen und von grundauf, sandstrahlen, grundieren,lackieren, versiegeln usw..

Not saying it's identical, but like there may have been some crossover among the styling studios.
Simplicity! We need Moore cars made this way!! 😊
We need to save every remaining single car like these.
Yeah but a good AC and reliability is a must these days
@@JorgeRodriguez-po7kx Not sure that brand new cars will be more reliable. And if you want AC, you can mount a vintage air one on it.
This video made me remind my first car, an 1952 Oldsmobile. I did many things like this video is shown.
My dear mum had a 1960 Ford Taunun 17m, but me reaching photos in internet I realized it was a 1959 model (1957-1959), always keeping the shaoe of those 1957 American Ford designes.
This beauriful orange *1963 Ford Taunus 17m* of German manufacrure (1960-1963) has a big similariry to 1963 Ford Thunderbird, same lines, even headlight shape, it is oval-rectangle. Roof rear pilar same as 1960 American Ford Falcon, and many ornamental accesories also.
Sorry my basic English. XD
Greetings from 🇨🇱 Santiago Chile SouthAmerica. 😉
A beautiful design. My dad had one from 1965. A beautiful light grey color with a white roof. It looked sharp and it was a sweetheart.
I’m not a big fan of red paint, but that’s a beautiful looking car.
It’s nice to see a young man with the skills to make it look like showroom new.
Great to see how you save these cars! I'm from the Netherlands and was one time in Sweden. Hopefully there are more old gems hidden for you to find. Best regards, Mart
That is such a great find and cool car! We have no small Fords like this in Canada, but I wish we did. The interior is trendy. The body is in very good condition. I’d buy it, if it wasn’t so far away. I was impressed you did a valve job and head reinstall with just basic tools. Well done 👍
Je jamais faire des travaux comme cette vidéo sur votre voiture qui elle a posé plusieurs années 😢😢du bricolage total
Il manque
1) de lentigel
2 ) vidange de boîte à vitesse
3 ) change le filtre à air
4 ) vidange du liquide des freins
5 ) nettoyage complet du carburateur
6) vidange du réservoir
7) contrôle de l’étanchéité des sous pape
8) réglé des sous pape
9) voir l’état des pneus et les changer
Réfléchissez bien avant d’une remise en route d’une voiture qui a posé plusieurs années 🎉🎉🎉
Tout à fait d'accord. Quid des freins, de l'embrayage, du réseau électrique ? Pas de prise de compression, ni de mesure de l'étanchéité, après remontage de la culasse. Juste fait un rodage de soupapes à la va-vite. Le silencieux est percé ou débranché. Les paraboles de phares sont ternies.
Cette Ford Taunus 17M est quand même une bonne fille !
The firing order is out. He set the firing order at 1243 and it should be 1342. The distributor rotates coungter clockwise. He done it as clockwise. Sounds like a bag of nails. and has no power. No compression and ground valves in wrong. Not a very good mechanic.
@@ianallen2 I don't understand why he didn't put a condenser on, after points/plugs/leads/rotor arm and distributor cap.
Danke für diesen Kommentar.
Ich finde es immer beeindruckend, wie Leute mit dem Hochdrckreiniger ein Auto "restaurieren".
Da wird literweise Wasser auf den Motor geblasen, etc, etc, aber das Fahrzeug richtig anschauen mCht man nicht.
@@neilsa9292 Becasuse he isnt a proper mechanic. Also he yanked the car out of the barn. He had no idea if hte car was in gear or brakes were locked up.
What a cool find!. And my birth year.
As an American, I sure am familiar with Ford, but many of these cute little Fords made for the European market I have never seen nor heard of before. I'd fix that little guy up and keep it.
Mais que ça fait drôle, la " mienne " était blanche, et les souvenirs ont continués d'affluer, le boxer qui ne demandait qu'à jouer, les fourmis sur l'établi, ma petite pièce quand j'allais chercher un paquet de Gauloise , les faux billets que l'on suspendaient à un fil nylon et que l'on soulevaient vite fait quand un passant voulait les prendre ..le charbon que l'on a fait livrer chez la coiffeuse.. qu'est-ce qu'on a rigolé ! Est ce qu'on emmène nos histoires ? Les bonnes et les mauvaises. Quelle complicité j'avais avec ma sœur à cette époque... comme le temps peut tout abîmer, tout saccager...mon insulte suprême quand nous étions fâchés c'était de l'appeler la grosse dondon elle était pas grosse du tout mais ça la fâché et moi j'étais content et ça durait pas on recommençait à s'aimer et a chercher quelle connerie on pourrait faire ? Aujourd'hui c'est un monstre en quelque sorte, et pourtant quelques fois elle me manque, on a toujours de vieux réflexes qui reviennent mais paralysés par le réel, le présent.
Ford Taunus était la division Ford Allemagne avec une réputation excellente et il produisait de belles autos dont celle ci et aussi la 20 m qui lui a succédé.
Some of the early Ford Cortinas were sold in the US. Be a rare sight now. I saw a clip on youtube of a typical 1970s car chase: Galaxies etc, and I spotted a Cortina, and an MGB parked in the streets. The Cortina was sold here, in Australia, from the first model 1962 to the last 1985. I saw a restored Mark 1 Cortina, early 1960s a little while ago. The 1970s Cortinas here were available with the Falcons 250c.i. 6 cylinder.

Lovely car! I had one of those, its most outstanding feature: it had the fastest cigarette lighter ever!
Click - pop - puff puff :)
Immediate moment! Only a Smoker can identify with this, and there are fewer and fewer of us still breathing.
That is awesome! I have never seen one of those before. But, I live in Canada and have never left the continent. What a fabulous find! Too cool! I also love that because of it's age, there isn't a ton of electronic computerized gizmos to get in the way of maintenance.
I was expecting the car to have the V4 Taunus engine. What a great find and I hope it isn't restored to concourse condition but just repaired where necessary and to keep its patina.
Yes, but this is the P3 Taunus. the V4 engines came with it's successor, the P5. :)
No, vinieron con el 12 M P4. @@lotharrenz4621
@rutzirutz5838 correct, but that is an entirely different vehicle. the P4 was the front-driven small car succeeding the "Weltkugel"-Taunus. the P3 succeeded the "Barock-Taunus" P2, and it a good bit larger. it kept the OHV straight-4 until the next generation of it, the P5. there, V4 and V6 saw use.
@@lotharrenz4621 All correct :). The OHV straight 4 was a derivative of the english Ford Consul engine that debuted in 1951, but it had been reworked to metric standards and had a displacement somewhere between its english brethren. As far as i know few parts other than the oil pump is said to match between them. And as for the TS engine, it´s very much another deal than the regular 1.5/1.7/1.8. Important to bear in mind when shopping for parts.
@rutzirutz5838 Yup, it was developed in the USA alongside the venerable Windsor V8 engine and therefore shares a few bits and pieces, especially the early versions of both engines. There has been said that also the english Essex V4/V6 shares a few parts parts, but not many. You also find the Taunus V4 (a k a Köln/Cologne V4 - the V6 was a evolution of the V4 built in West Germany and also used in the Mustang II) in the Saab 96/95 and a few other oddball cars such as Matra M530. Saab had a lot to do with shaking out bugs from the original engine and managed to churn out far more horsepower in rallye tuned engines than Ford themselves though possible. Seems the1.7 was last used in the european 1979 Granada, 1.5 displacement was produced a couple more years for Saab only, 1981 i think, when the 1.7 ceased production due to emission laws. The entire Cologne family of engines roots back to the little V4 and ended with the 4.0 SOHC V6 that made it into the Mustang as a base engine.
The biggest issues with barn finds is discovering why it was parked in the barn in the first place.
This almost looks like the American Corvair Monza… Those headlights are Awesome!!
Vilken underbar bil. Sån charm!! ❤
Så kul att se. Glida runt stressfri.
Great video, great find with that Taunus. I hope there are many more for you out there so we can keep watching your work. 👍🏻
Wow What a Nice find That car is in great condition, Easy restore, you should keep this one
A great find! And mostly rust free. There is a family likeness to the Cortina, Corsair and Zephyr in the styling.
À l'époque, après huit ans, elle avait une sacrée coud de vieux, la petite cortina ne perdaient rien en cachet.
Of course, Ford UK and Ford Köln (Cologne) were in the same company after all. Cortina and Taunus were sisters who grew more and more alike over the years.
@@Rammstein56 Both Ford Köln and Dagenham were of course owned by the Big Oval in the States but very much separate entities when this car was made. Dagenham was much more conservative than Köln on things like which end of the car had to be connected to the engine.
Was für ein Auto 🚗
Phantastisch.
Jetzt bin ich 69 Jahre alt. Mit 18 Jahren habe ich mir, zusammen mit den Eltern einen Ford 17 M, Baureihe P5, gekauft. Das Auto war noch fahrbereit. Es sollte nur für den fahr Anfang sein. Drei mal bekam er TÜV. Bleifrei Kraftstoff hat er nicht vertragen. Und vom Hohlraum Schutz hat er nicht viel gesehen. Trotzdem ein klasse Fahrzeug. Viel Freude und Spaß mit gehabt. Hat mich treu zur Bundeswehr gebracht und wieder nach Hause. Wie heisst es noch : Bis das der TÜV euch scheidet 😢😢😢. Mit Tränen in den Augen denke ich noch daran zurück. ❤
I don't think I ever saw one before. Maybe if I had, I'd be driving a Ford.
The wooden floor in the shed lol. A very nice body style ford i never saw before.
Light weight construction 1963 ! First car of my father.60 hp, 3 gear transmission, automated clutch with 'Saxomat' !
I was born in Kuwait in 1967. My dad brought me home in a 1967 Ford Taunus. He kept it for over 10 years.
That's what I call clean engine work. This baby will last another 10 miles for sure!
not even 10 miles..... he completly messed up the whole engine work

No music, no bullshit talking, no selling sweets or other needless things...
Just restoring by itself.
Great work! 👍💯
What a beauty! Excellent work!
Now that’s a real Survivor and a 2 door on top of that,cheers from the USA,In Germany we called that A Badewanne,translated Bath tub I love old cars
Thanks for showing this true Classic

What a beauty of a find! We didnt get these in America but it looks like a fun sporty car- thanks for sharing!
I had one on these as a toy cars in the 60'ties. What a beauty.
Wow! Look at the space in that engine bay❤.
So simple, Simplicity is the highest form of complication.
Just love it❤❤❤
My very first car.... solid, reliable, no gadgets, and can withstand bumps... Wish they still made them like that.
this is a great find; I would buy it as found for whatever you ask for.
Nice old car, solidly built and easy to maintain, once it's fixed. ! Great look !
Congratulations on gettingthis treasure up and running again. Greetings from Germany
You carried out the work first class, the car has turned around really well and ready for its next owner.
Given that Sweden drove on the left until 1967, it's interesting that this 1963 Ford is LHD rather than RHD. I'd read that a big driver behind the swap to right hand traffic was that people had been buying used LHD cars from neighbouring countries with right hand traffic as they were cheaper than "official" Swedish market cars.
I was surprised to see it LHD - mine came from near Malmo and was a 1962 RHD - story was it was parked up in 64 after the death of 1st owner who bought it new in South Africa - it was bought by a British squadie who was stationed in Keil in 1971 - I got it in 74 with 260,000 km and a knackered engine - I put a Cortina 1500 gt motor in it and sold it on in 75 - Good vid !!!
My mother had one of these in the seventies, in a delicious light yellow colour. It was such a nice car. Thank you for the video. Hilser fra Danmark.

My father had a 20m TS, with the V6 motor... A butyfull car.
Thank You for this video !
V6 now that would be interesting-like maybe from an American Pinto,Euro. Engines are so boring
Ford forever! 🤩 Well done! I suppose the carburettor needs some love and the timing on the correct position. Don't forget the lead additive for the fuel. Nice Taunus! 👍
Поздравляю Вас с удачной покупкой. ❤👍
Thanks..plugs ,points, condenser ,carburetor what a pleasure watching it l am sure the old girl still had a generator 😊😊😊
So much character this little car has.....I can imagine the fun 😊 that was had throughout the entire process.... Thank you so much for sharing.... Scotty in Alabama 😎
Det är roligt att se denna video. Att hitta ett så fint exemplar av 60 tals Ford. Jag kommer ihåg dem när jag växte upp.
The P3 has such an attractive windscreen.
It was the first european car to have this type of "bulbous" windscreen reminiscent of the american GM cars of the early sixties and the like, seems few ever followed suit. Fun fact; the project P3´s chief designer Wesley Dahlberg that was sent over to West Germany to head this job (although much of the credit for the swoopy curves goes to Uwe Bahnsen who´s last work was the european Ford Sierra, known in the US as the Merkur XR4i) was the son of immigrants hailing from the city of Sundsvall (or the vicinity of it) so it kind of is right at home. Good work getting it running and looking so fresh btw, i do car recond myself for a living and wish i could have kept my own 17M but had to let it go. Maybe someday another one... Oh, and i´m swedish, living not far from Sundsvall. Btw 2, i recall having read somewhere that the Opel Ascona 2nd gen headlight reflectors are a match for the Taunus 17M, both P3 and P5 ("Grosser Badewanne" 1965-67) but you better check the numbers on that before buying.
The Simca Chambord had a similar windscreen called in french " Panoramique" since 1957@@hasseslaggmek3573
Great find

Som vanligt väldigt trevligt med dina filmer eftersom de saknar både prat och musik. De talar för sig själva!
Good discovery, in addition to having a modern design for a Ford, it also has something particular that the Ford's 6 inline cylinders did not have, additional lubrication in the valve rocker line. My neighbor at home had the same one from 1962 without a clutch. But with a gearbox. Today I would use it every day.
Bellissima auto nn ruggine completa complimenti 😊
That is a great find. My dad had the 17m v4 think it was 1968 model when we lived in West Germany , great memories.
Love it 💪🏾💪🏾I did the same for most of my life .great job
What a gem! Thanks for sharing
If I had a car like this I would never sell it. It is a car that reminds me of past times.
Mit 18 Jahren war es mein erstes Auto ,1965 bis 69 .Hatte viel erlebt mit diesem Auto !😊
Ich meine, dass mein Onkel so einen hatte. Aber der hatte vorne eine durchgehende Sitzbank, also keine Einzelsitze. Ist das möglich? Ich war ein Kleinkind, damals.
@@andreasnrw9593 Hallo ,da hast du recht , der Ford hatte vorne eine durchgehende Sitzbank , Lenkradschaltung 3 Gang .Mein Onkel hatte den auch , musste natürlich selber einen haben ! 12 M hätte auch gereicht ! Er hatte gekostet gebraucht an 65 , 4300 DM. Stundenlohn damals 3,30 .😋
@@peterwetzel7796 Ich meine mich zu erinnern, dass die Sitzbank vorne rot war. Ob das Leder war oder so eine Art Kunstleder, weiß ich nicht. Es war auf jeden Fall ein glattes Material. So gerippt. So Längsstreifen, irgendwie so wie abgenäht, dass so eine Form von halben "Würsten" entstand. Das muss so Mitte/Ende der 60er gewesen sein.
Terrific work to save this classic '63 Taurus. Well done!!
Junger Mann, sehr schön hast du das Auto wieder hergestellt .Möchte noch auf eine riskante Stelle hinweisen .Die CU Benzinleitung von Benzinpumpe zum Vergaser überprüfen ,Kann sich an Benzinpumpe lösen ,Brandgefahr ! 😊
Der Mann hat kein Gefühl für Oldtimer. Aber gut, dass er den Ford gerettet hat
Dachte ich auch gerade. Den Wagen polieren aber den Rost ignorieren.
Ich finde es ok. Immerhin hat er ihn erstmal wieder flott gemacht und offensichtlich gerettet. Warum soll man erstmal nicht den verbleibenden guten Lack schützen bzw. lediglich polieren? Ist doch kein großes Ding. An den verbleibenden Rost geht er vielleicht später ran. Es kann und will vielleicht auch nicht jeder so ein Fahrzeug immer gleich in seine Einzelteile zerlegen, ihn vielleicht für zwei Jahren in der Garage verschwinden lassen und von grundauf, sandstrahlen, grundieren,lackieren, versiegeln usw.. Muss doch nicht immer gleich perfekt sein. Ich finde den super so mit Patina.
@@montecharly122 Das Ganze ist ja auch eine Frage des Geldes !
Du meinst Verschlimmbessert.
