    Hi fellow station wagon owners,

    Glad I've found this forum, just what I need to help with the restoration of my 1967 Country Sedan.

    Regards

    Barry

    I went to Florida in 2013 & 2014 with the intention of buying cars & bikes to import to the UK, I found the Sedan on Craigslist in March 2014 in Florida, I'm still in touch with the previous owner and he helps post me small items, I use a shipper in Miami that I use for larger parts.
    When I bought it the brakes were very bad and the upper wishbones had worn bushes, I bought these parts from Rock Auto.
    It's a 289 which has low compression on 3 cylinders, it drives but lacks power, I've recently found a 390 complete with autobox in the UK and will fit this over the winter along with a few other jobs, the spare wheel well is rotted as is the fuel tank and the tailgate needs some attention.
    I've a few other classics but find I use the Sedan more as it's just more useful & practical.
