Portable Ford BBQ grill

Post by TWrenn » Thu Aug 20, 2020 5:05 pm

So I was out on a nice afternoon tour today, stopped at a local village on a bit of business, this guy comes up to check out Clara. Also turns out he's a long-lost former classmate. He brings over this neat old rusty portable grill from Ford. Seems to say "Use Ford (the logo) charcoal briquettes." Maybe. Hard to read the last words. Anyone got any idea what it may be worth?

Condition is everything.
One on Bay $400 https://www.ebay.com/i/184394628990?chn ... gLk5vD_BwE but the grate looks like it was replaced from other pictures

Here is a link to a previous discussion on the grill http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/25 ... ?134413119

I got mine at Chick Fil A

LOL

Actually, there was a car show there and a guy was admiring my car and said he had something with "Ford" on it in his garage and that he would GIVE it to me. This arrived in the mail. I had to replace the center grate with an old wash board I cut and drilled. I then cooked a hot dog on it once.

Well the one on Ebay is definitely identical to the one the guy showed me. Only you can read the words better than on the one I was shown. Looks to be in better shape overall.
Don't need one that bad though! They are pretty cool JTS.
