Here are some pics of the project car I just picked up. 1967 Ford Country Sedan. I found it on craigslist in WI near my town. It is a one owner car. The wagon is all complete. It has all the trim and the glass is in nice shape. It has a 390 that fired right up. The car was on a lift when I went to look at it, so I got to inspect the underside real well. The doors, rockers, tailgate, and floor pans suprisingly have almost no rust on them. The rear quarters have rust behind the tires as well as the fronts, but not the worst since it is from the trim line down. The spare tire well is also rusted out, which is common from what I have read. The interior is also complete with the major flaw being a tear in the front seat. The wagon also has all 4 origonal hub caps. The biggest flaw on the entire car is the frame with some rust on it. I already started a thread on that subject. I felt $700 for the wagon was a pretty fair deal. My plan is to make a daily driver out of it. I am at novice at this so I am jumping in both feet. I am Pretty mechanically inclined having worked on all my vehicles in the past, and I can also weld. I have just never dove this far into a vehicle before. I am looking forward to it as I have wanted to do this since high school. I am sure there will plenty of suprises on the way. I have spent $700 dollars in worse ways. Here are some pics of the wagon. Hopefully they show up as I am not a computer wiz.
Wow, If you need any original old parts let me know, I've got a few that aren't going back on the project of mine. Looks worth the money!
Be careful. I've owned Fords for over 35 years and that grease on the engine is holding the oil in. Nice fine. It is indeed in surprisingly good shape for a Wisconsin car.
Great deal, BK, and for only $700. Looks like you've got a pretty solid Ford there. Word of warning--if you ever go out to it one day, turn the key and the car does nothing, won't crank, won't start, won't click, won't do anything, don't worry about it. It's an easy fix. Fords of that vintage had a terrible habit of having the transmission selector fall just a bit out of park and as such, the neutral safety switch overrides everything and won't let the starter get any power. All you have to do is pull the shift back up towards park with your left hand while turning the key with your right. Best of luck with it and welcome to the forum.
I remember a neighbor with a 64 black CS doing the left hand holding the selector up while she fired it up when she was running us kids somewhere. Welcome to the forum BK!
Good to see another Ford Wagon put back on the road. Take it step by step and try not to get too overwhelmed. You'll enjoy the experience. Looking forward to more updates. Great find!
That was a Nash feature back in the 50's. Holding the selector up was how you engaged the starter. Obviously some Fords have a hankerin' to be a Nash.
