1971 Ford Torino Squire

I know it's a beauty, but it's a replica, hard to go that high

 

$23K and no sale.

 

Beautiful wagon. Love the 1 of 6 original one on the Hemmings link too. But, there's a similar one, here on the forum, as well. There was a guy that joined the forum with a special order purple one. Although it's not a CJ with a shaker, the original owner had added a GT hood. I can't find the link for it. He had tried selling it on Ebay, bidding got up to around the low $20s as well, if I recall.

EDIT. Found the member's original post.

And the Ebay listing where it got bid up to almost $27k

These special interest vehicles are for few owners. Most rarely get driven and are usually just taken to shows or stared at in the climate controlled garage a few times a year so MPG means nothing.

Back on Ebay

 

Later listing has pics. It does have AC. Id'ed as a "tribute" car, but that equipment is authentic. AC was available with the 429CJ, but not the SCJ. Interestingly, the CJ had a Rochester carb (presumably for emissions), the SCJ a Holley.

 

Thanks for sharing that story
