got my 69 squire today

got my 1969 country squire today first time I bought a car unseen but couldn't lose on the deal! has 390 a/c power disc brakes black interior power rear window. am/fm clock. It has all the stuff I need for my 69 and will have left over. gonna play with later and upload pictures.

 

The '69 is a beautiful year for the CS, there are a few others on here as well. Enjoy the ride!!

 

Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing some pics!

 

here are some pics:







I'm most likely gonna use it for parts for my '69 country sedan and sell the leftovers this one has a lot more rot than mine. Mine is mostly in the tailgate surprisingly the tailgate is pretty good on this one!

 

Congrats, always nice to have a parts car


Sooooooo, site unseen.....what did you pay for it??

 

I got it for $700 delivered called my friend who is a good negotiator and told him about the ad which said best offer. i told my friend id go as high as a grand but would pay less if possible he spoke to him next thing i get a phone call saying its on its way to you as we speak :2_thumbs_up_-_anima For the stuff I need it was well worth it. I might even convert to hidden headlights I'm gonna try and start her up tomorrow!

 

I just noticed your avatar - that's the painting that Tommy's (Joe Pesci) mom (who is Martin Scorcese's mom in real life) painted in the movie "Goodfellas". After they get done whackin' Billy Batts in Henry's bar, they're taking him out to the country to bury him, but they stop by Tommy's house to get a knife (for the "deer" they hit), and Tommy's mom shows them the painting she just finished. De Niro I think comments that he likes the dogs "one's looking this way, one's looking the other way". Great stuff - love that movie!

 

If you don't use them yourself, the vacuum reservoir, vacuum motors, and headlamp switch are all hard to find items. Be sure to keep them. As long as you use them, these doors seem to be dead reliable, too.

 

Great score. After getting parts you need, you should have no problem getting your money back by parting it out.

 

and this one is saying What do yo want from me?

 

I can't get over the 'dent' in the rear bumper! Don't know what that would be to cause that much damage to the bumper without damaging the rest of the rear end....

 

Real steel! AKA the 1969 version of a crumple zone, the bumper crumpled where as today the car would not even be drivable because of the crumple zone would inflict the entire rear of the car.......but we could debate that all day

I have hanging in my garage as wall art junk the rear of a 68 Cougar that I bout as a parts car years ago. It's rear bumper has a very heavy dent that resembles a pole (size of a stop sign etc) and it's a good punch yet the rest of the rear never got any damage. I also wondered how??? because there was no other damage. I've only kept the bumper because a old school trailer hitch is still attached......back when trailer hitches had no safety regulations...... I, today would not even tow my garbage can with it's set up

 

So much for hating these best offer ads! You scored!

I hope you convert your Country Sedan into this wonderful Country Squire with all of the wonderful parts! Hidden headlamps, woodgrain...what's not to love?

Please take a picture of the AM-FM stereo/radio, I've never seen one for this weird LH dash placement.

Does your Country Sedan have A/C?

I would be tempted to restore this Country Squire, but I'm glad you will be able to put it's parts to excellent use!

My country sedan has A/c. I'm tempted to redo the squire but i think its gonna need too much. I'm gonna try and start it later on. I'll know more then.

 

Nice find! Looks like a great parts car.
