Hello, I have just bought my first wagon and cannot wait to start building it. It is a 1961 Ford 2-door ranch wagon. I bought it with no engine and trans, but thats ok I have a 1962 Ford 406 FE engine with a C6 trans to put in this thing. A rare engine for a rare wagon, should go together great! Also going to put in power steering and power brakes, so the wife can cruz it if she wants. It was in this guys "barn" for many years and it was a california desert car its whole life, so there is zero rust! Excited to be on this forum! Thanks!!
Cool wagon! I really like the "to be" design - you're gonna have a killer ride when you get finished! Glad you're keeping it all Ford. These days, I don't know why someone would still put a Chevy engine in a Ford. There's too many good Ford options!
Nice wagon. Love your rendering. Last year for the 2-door Ranch Wagon...... Welcome to the forum. Marshall
to the wagon train, notch. Nice score! I like everything you are going to do. Good luck and be sure to keep us updated!
If I were rich (lots of disposable income) I would plop an new Coyote 5.0 and a six speed manual in there....also a Lincoln Mk VIII IRS while I was at it.
Very cool wagon with a minimum of stylistic cliches; always loved the door handles. It's going to be one mean ride! TG
Thanks everyone, I will keep you posted on the build, and yes tbirds if i were crazy rich I would be putting in a 427 SOHC, and that IRS would be really nice too!!
another rendering Here is another rendering with using Wheel smith solids with hub caps. What do you guys think??
or a DOHC???.....sorry Chev guys...were speaking Fordese that is a freekin sweet find my freind!!!! luv it luv it to our treefort
so many cool s and not enough long Roofs to go a round :confused: I HAVE 3 SETS OF RIMS AND TIRES AND WHEN I WANT TO GIVE BIG BETTY BUICK A DIFFRENT LOOK I SWAP BACK AND FORTH , KEEP UP THE COOL IDEAS
Whata ya mean, no rust? I'm from illinois and now Florida. We bought cars new with rust! Great catch. Welcome and have fun. You're gonna change those wheels a hunert times before you finish! But those right there are winners. About that filthy rich comment.............I'm half way there.
