    $7950.00 for this 9 passenger wagon

    Here is my 1958 Edsel Villager wagon

    I love this car but have big plans for another so I might let this one go.

    I have driven it to laughlin from LA twice and it is a pleasure to drive. I would drive it anywhere you want to take it to. If you buy it I will drive it to wherever you are to deliver it if you pay for gas & a ticket home. If it breaks down on the way I will cover that because I am so sure it will make it. I am willing to wheel & deal with you just like when the car was new... If you don't want the power steering, I'll replace it with manual steering & take some off the price. Don't want the compass? I'll pull it out and drop the price a little more. It currently has a "empire edsel sales" dealer lic. frame that does NOT come with the car. Overdrive works & gets pretty good mileage, originally it was a tele-touch automatic trans but by the time I got the car it had a mid 60's falcon steering column with lever shift. It was terrible so I swaped it to a Overdrive with all the correct parts for the edsel (except the correct "overdrive" handle) I have never done any front end work but the tires are wearing perfectly (radials make a world of difference on the highway) and there is little to no play in the wheel. brake lights turn signals and all other lights work. Gas gauge works. has a gm single wire alt in place of the generator. third row seat has never been re-upholstered. paint has been done once, needs it again.

    Recent work done includes...

    New front brakes prior to my purchase a couple of years ago, still good

    New rear brakes 3 months ago, including wheel cyls & shoes

    New battery (correct one!) 1.5 years ago

    New brake light switch

    Newly rebuilt radiator (1.5 years ago?) and belts & hoses

    REBUILT MOTOR 6 MONTHS AGO
    At the same time it got new motor mounts, re-lined clutch disc, petronics ELECTRIC IGNITION, thermostat

    Rebuilt trans 2 years ago (and converted it to a 3 on the tree with WORKING OVERDRIVE)

    Added Power steering 6 months ago with rebuilt ram 2 months ago

    Replaced original radio with am/fm/cd/XM radio

    Rebuilt the speedometer 1 year ago

    New front pinon seal 5 months ago

    Rebuilt carb 1 year ago (dropped tank and cleaned & freshened up carb 2 months ago)

    New WWW RADIAL TIRES 1.5 years ago

    Has re-chromed bumpers in front & gaurd in back
