possible suggestion:  contact your local chapter of EAA (see www.eaa.org),
and I bet they will gladly volunteer to have a look at the aircraft,  and
besides meeting nice folks,  you'll probably learn more about it (for free)
than you might possibly imagine :-)  this Ford is a piece of history, twould
be a shame to let it go to waste...

and of course this could be a pretty good opportunity to get you hooked
to the aviation bug.
