    Hello Everyone,

    I joined the group a while back, but have not introduced myself. I'm enjoying seeing everyone's wagons and am looking forward to getting insight, ideas, and help from everyone. I live in the Nashville, TN area.

    I currently own a 1965 Ford Ranch Wagon with a 289. I am going to modify this car. I have a 460 that I plan to put in the car. I also plan on lowering it and possibly replacing the bench seat with buckets and a console.

    I also own a 1968 Ford LTD Country Squire which I purchased in March of this year. I am the third owner. The car sat from 1998 until the previous owner pulled it out of the original owners garage in 2015. The interior is all original. The original 390 engine had lost compression in a couple cylinders, so the engine was rebuilt with a stroker kit that boosted the power up to 450 HP. The original FMX transmission was replaced with a new C6 so that it could handle the extra horsepower. It has electric cut outs on the headers, which makes it fun when you want to make some noise.

    Looking forward to talking to other wagon owners.
