    Seems there might be an increasing interest in classic station wagons. Good thing for our membership rolls here, but bad thing if you're thinking about buying one.

    Hot tip: Find a good one for sale by a private party down in southern California and get it home somehow. Arizona's good too. And don't wait too long.....

    That is where I got my '66 Ranch. When we undressed it I was happy to see that there was no poop in its britches!!!

    ASKING prices seem to be going up. What about selling prices?

    Or is there just a lot of haggle room being built in to the asking prices now because everyone's watching shows like American Pickers?

    as asking prices are going up so are the selling prices;look at the green Ford Squire that just sold;was offered at $7500 first and sold for $10K; nice reverse :)
    yes, now is the time to get your hands a good dry wagon;
    the way I look at cars, say I have $10K to spend, I buy the best at around $6-7K then have room for improvement or surprises,but in the end am still at my initial investment price and feel good about a good/very good shape car; then if prices improve I had fun driving it and never really lost anything. maybe even make some if prices really keep going up.

    Poop in its britches? That's a new one to me. Pretty funny.

    My wagon was in southern Georgia. Sand had found its way into every crevice, including the C pillars, and also lots of pine needles in the doors. THese both held water, and rotted out all the lowest sheet metal. Doors, C pillar, tail gate bottom, back wheel wells bottoms of front fenders are all patched in. Amazingly, the rocker panels and the floor and the spare tire well were intact. I didn't h ave to do a single thing to them. After my 68 Val in Detroit, I know how lucky I am.
    The bottom of my wagon (64) was painted an off white. Was this factory back then? My later A bodies never had that.

    Rust never sleeps...........Neil Young taught us that.
