I owned two Stouts at one point, a 64 and 67. Both perfectly complete and in decent shape, however with the lack of availability of new parts, a "restoration" was not really in the cards for either. One was a missing title/paperwork basket case, I gave that one to a friend who let me store both on his property for a while.
Kept my 67. Have dabbled on work on it just to keep it in decent shape till I can really get to work on it.
Light body work and industrial primer/underbody rust proofing. New carpet and interior painted. Interior still needs seats/console/door panels/headliner.
I had the engine swapped to a 20r with 5 speed floor shift, however I took that back out and swapped into my 75 celica gt.
Plans for the stout include crown vic aluminum front k-frame with fully self contained front suspension/vented discs/power rack and pinion,
Lexus 1uz v8, and more than likely a rear axle from tacoma with E-locker.
However the Single turbo 2j Mk2 supra is my winter project so that comes first.
Couple pics before it went into winter storage.
It will also be receiving the front bumper off of my 4x4 as I built a new one.
(bumper/valance seen on truck here, will be going on the stout)
