1960 Ford Country Squire on eBay - Meridan, CT. Not SWF-worthy.

Normally I wouldn't consider this wagon to be worthy of inclusion on the SWF forum. But I'm astounded that the bidding is already over $1,000. Maybe people are bidding just for the parts?

60

Looks like the bidding has had some "help"

 

Yeah, I would say these are desirable enough that even a semi-rolling pile like this one could be worth something. The '60 Fords seem to be very popular with the rodding crowd, due to their unique styling. Heck, I wouldn't mind having one - much prefer it over the '61 and '62, and maybe like it a bit better than the '63's.......

 

Sold for $1825 before I got to see all the pictures and vote.

 

This is definitely a project car, and I think the winning bid was entirely appropriate.

I find this year Ford incredibly interesting, although I can't say I prefer it to the '64 or the '62 (whose styling I've been finding more and more appealing lately). I do wish the rodders would stick to the Country Sedans and Ranch Wagons and leave the Squires for the restorers.

 

You can still see the original ad by clicking on the "See original listing" just under the expired listing title.

One good thing I can say about this car - it still had the original A/C unit. But that's about it!

 

As rare as this one is, if someone REALLY wanted a 60 Country Squire, this is a pretty good deal, since the expensive, hard to find parts seem to be present and accounted for. The rest is fixable. Not cheaply, but fixable none the less.
