1973 Country Squire on eBay

I just looked at on on ebay. It sure looks good enough. I think the buy it now price is quite reasonable. It's way too big for my taste and garage space but I think you'll get the price.

Now that 74 Pinto in Poway sure is tempting at $2,800. But the a/c is not installed and it's very expensive to do those up right. That'll add another $500 to the cost to get that up and running.

All things considered a little upholstery work sure isn't that difficult or expensive.

 

Here's the link to scarey's new listing on eBay...

I cracked up when I read that the second owner bought it for his 16 year old daughter..........

Yeah - every 16 year old girl wants to roll in one of our wagons.......makes sense to me.

 

I wish I would have met a wagon driving 16 year old girl when I was 16 lol. I would've been sold!

Hi all!
Well,I traveled to L.A. to deliver a car I sold. While there,I looked at and bought the 1973 Ford country squire !, I was told it was a 429 car,to my (good) suprise, it is a 460 car!,(What month did the 460 become optional?) I bought it,and Wed, I am making another trip to pick her up! She's the one I am keeping! I can't begin to describe the outstanding condition it is in..........It was garaged its whole life until 2 years ago, it has 107000 on the clock. I would swear it was 07000 miles!, The original owner died in the 70's, wife never drove it,second owners drove it once,as it was for there daughter,and was too big. I just don,t know!. it was medium loaded for the day, Pw,Pl,A/C,light group,delay wipers,factory rear coil air bags,trailer tow package,and the Brougham package in med brown. I will post pics soon!

I am really in need of a few parts, 1, Door arm rests, does anyone know where to find these? I need the ones that hold the switches,they run the length of the door,and are plastic. I am game for any color at this point. I need Lh front,and both on the rh side,would buy all 4.

Oh,does anyone know if electric mirrors were an option in late 73? Build date 7/73. Its odd,it has the caped mirrors,and an electric mirror joy stick. But,it also has a rh manual joy stick on the dash...........odd Thanks all,pics coming soon! I am sooooo excited!

Maybe I am just confused, but aren't these the same Country Squire? Same car, but very different mileage? Curious.

Lots of driving in reverse??:icon_drive:

 

Wait. This car was put on the forum here on 10/10/10 as having 107K miles. Now it is being sold on eBay with 79K miles? OK, Wix...I'm confused, too. I think.

 

my bad............I blew it, sorry

Hey,I blew it!, I bought a 70 mercury Marauder at the same time, it had 107k, or,did by the records. It looked like new. sorry for the confusion. We have over 20 vehicles in the family!..........slimmin down....Happy 4th everyone! Oh,and found out original owner rigged a set of late mirrors on the squire. Found 2 out of the 4 armrests. Drivers side still not the greatest but.........
