    Very nice wagon. We've had wagons for sale by this same seller before. (Probably had this one up before). Nice area in Orange County not far from where I used to live.

    If the repaint is of good quality and the woodgrain and interior are in good shape, as they appear to be in the photos, then the asking price seems fair.

    I could see this one being a stunner with some chrome smoothies.

    I think that, as unfortunately often happens, the digital photography has distorted the colors slightly. The woodgrain appears to be a couple of shades lighter than original on my monitor, but the other di-noc details seem right. Also, I don't think the shade of red as it appears on my computer was available on '68 Fords; I think it should be (and probably is) the same dark shade of red as on my '70 Country Squire.

    If I'm right that the variations I'm seeing are an artifact of the photography/display, then it appears to me that this car sports as good a restoration as I've seen anywhere. You could not buy one of these and put it into this condition for the asking price.

    Sweet!

    My only 'favorite moments' of this lousy movie were scenes featuring this beautiful Country Squire and when the end credits finally rolled.
