The thing is you can buy brand new batteries which are made to look like the old style batteries now, which of course have much higher performance than the originals. For someone with a classic car they would be good to just use at a show for that day and I think if you advertise them someone will buy them. The only Fords that may have had that type would be Zephyr, Zodiac or Consuls.

Yeah to be fair they wouldn't be any use to man or beast to actually put on a car but a museum or someone with an old style garage set up may want them to put on a battery stand to look like they used to be for sale if u know what I mean?
