The Ford Barn

Is the floor heater a rare option. Also the pedals look different.

That "floor heater" is just a piece of an accessory heater - does the engine have the cast iron manifold hooked up to the floor vent. Complete units somewhat rare. We have a similar complete unit in our '19 Centerdoor - works very good !

The "pedals look different" is due to them being accessory extensions - usually clamped on.

Nice accessory "jeweled" dash lamp also.

The pedals are one piece cast. It has a tin housing over the exhaust manifold. This car was sitting in a barn since 63 it also has a vacuum wiper, motometer radiator cap and a dome light

It also looks like it had an accessory front bumper on it at one time.

The engine was built March 25. This could be the original motor. I read that they didn't stamp frame numbers until Dec 25. Would there be any other numbers to match the motor to.

No, the engine number is/should be the number on the title.

That is an accessory heater assembly - manifold is/should be cast iron ribbed with the tin cover - cool !

I've seen numerous accessory pedal extensions but never a "one piece cast" - as in pedal & extension as a single unit ? Would be an expensive accessory and the fact one would be removing & replacing the pedals is not a simple task.
