    1966 Ford Country Squire station wagon - $5000 (Chesterfield VA)

    Great vintage vehicle. Vehicle last passed inspection in 1997. Not driven (or started) since then due to a gas tank leak and electrical problems (headlights dimming on uphills). Vehicle has been garaged since 2004. Two owners (my dad and me). Pluses: Has special edition original 428 Thunderbird engine (an option at that time). Vehicle has never been in an accident. Has all original decal hardware (loose items were removed from vehicle but I have them along with the original side view mirror). Upholstery is in fairly good shape except for the driver's seat and a loose seam in the ceiling. Negatives: Tires need to be replaced (will require flat bed towing). Surface rust in several places and a couple of deeper rust spots. Cracks in the windshield and rear window. Some erosion of "wood" panel strips (particularly on the rear of the car). Missing one hubcap and one bolt cover (for the side panels). Asking $5000 or best offer. Comes with original owner's manual.

    What is it with the frames on these things??

    https://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/cto/6059603909.html
    2 1965 Ford Country Squire Country Sedan wagons (Jonesboro, Ga.)
    I have two 1965 Ford Station Wagons that I've decided to sell. I bought the 1965 Country Squire several years ago from a fellow on eBay. The car was listed as having no rust issues and was a low mileage (45k), fully loaded from the factory car. The car came with quite a few receipts showing all the recent work that had been performed, so I bought the car and had it shipped here to my home. Once the car arrived, before it was removed from the car hauler, I took a look at the underside and was completely disappointed at the condition of the frame. The frame had heavy rust through in the torque boxes and had several sections of iron welded to the frame. The car also had been reconditioned at some point and has considerable body filler. Mechanically, the car is perfect. It's 352 4v cranks right up and will idle all day long. It has plenty of power and runs/drives as it should. It's loaded with automatic transmission, A/C, P.S., P.B. power windows, power seat, the rare AM/FM radio that works, power rear glass, luggage rack. The interior looks almost like new.
    I decided to buy another wagon that had a good frame and intended to build it with all the good stuff from the Squire. This second wagon is a 1965 Country Sedan. It too is a low mileage car (46k), but has not been running or on the road in a long time. The story on this car was that it originally went into service as a fire rescue car at a fire dept. in Kansas, thus the fairly low miles. It has the factory A/C, P.B. and P.S. It has a rock solid frame and body, except for some rust in the lower quarter panels, behind the rear wheels. It too has the 352 4v engine and automatic transmission. This will make a super nice wagon with all the options removed from the Squire.
    I've been driving the Country Squire and enjoy it very much, but always planned to dismantle it and build the Country Sedan. I just have too many cars and not enough time.
    I'm offering these two wagons as a package. Once you see the two, you'll likely agree with my original plan of building one good wagon from the two. I'm asking $12,500 for the pair. If you think this is something you can handle and would like to see the two purchased together, I'd like to hear from you. I am not willing to sell them separately. If you're interested, feel free to contact me ( Ed) @ 404-550-0196.

    1971 Ford Country Squire wagon - $4700 (Hoschton/ braselton)
    Up for sale is a 1971 ford ltd country squire wagon, it has a 400 cubic inch v8, c6 auto trans, power steering & brakes, power windows, third row seats. Off white exterior and ginger vinyl interior. Comes with a clean Georgia title and tons of paperwork. Was a one owner car in Pennsylvania used only seasonally. Never driven in salt, plus the the underside has had the Ziebart undercoating done. Shipped to California after the first owner died, then back to me, making me the third owner.

    This car has 44000 original miles and while it is not a show car it is an extremely good driver. It starts right up and will go wherever you need it to go. In fact I just recently drove it on a camping trip and put about 300 miles on it with no issues.

    The car is in good enough condition to enjoy it as is, but if you really wanted it perfect a respray and a redo of the woodgrain would not hurt. Also the front seat needs to be recovered and the headliner could use a repair in a few places.

    The car is great and has been a joy to own, and I would not mind owning it from now on. However, I do have other vehicles I need to focus on including another wagon, so I am offering it for sale. If you're interested, email, call or text, but please leave a message and be patient as I have limited time during the week to answer calls. Located in hoschton Georgia about an hour north of Atlanta.
