1967 Ford Country Squire, Cedar Rapids, IA

Even though I'm not really that interested in the '65 and newer Ford wagons, this one makes my mouth water. Once again, not mine:

1967 Ford Country Squire Wagon Custom. Powered by a dressed up 390 V8 with Tri Power, C6 automatic transmission and 3.00 9 inch Ford rear end and full dual exhaust. This mild custom wagon is solid and runs great. This one is equipped with power steering and brakes, air conditioning, factory AM radio, correct original interior with 8 passenger seating. The wheels are custom 5 spoke with 235/50R17 blackwall radials. The two way tailgate with power window works great. When is the last time you saw one of these, let alone with Tri-Power and 17" alloy wheels. The simulated wood trim is excellent along with the glass and chrome. You can have the coolest "Family Truckster" in town today!

(Not mine. But it would be, if I had Jerry Seinfeld's money, not to mention parking garage for his Porsche collection.)

 

Nice looker.
Duffy's has been around a long time, but I don't know anything about their reputation on the street.
Anybody have any info on their integrity?

 

Great color on that 67, one of my favorite model yrs.

 

Current bid is $14,998 and reserve still not met. Makes the '67 Country Squire that sold for $12,500 in Vancouver, WA look like a bargain. :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

 

Well....he has a 93% feedback score. Not so good!

 

1967 CS Wagon History

I have followed this wagon and watched it traverse the country over the past 3 years or so. It was last sold at the Mecum auction in Monterey, CA earlier this year to somewhere around $17K, I think, and must have been bought by Duffy's. Prior to that, it spent a year in Santa Barbara, CA having been sold to a collector/dealer at the Mecum auction in Montery, CA the year before. At that time, I think it sold for about the same price. Prior to that, it was for sale at a hot rod shop in Pomona, CA where I had offered to buy it for the price he paid plus his shipping costs from the Mecum auction he had bought it at the year before in Arizonia. He ended up selling it to the guy in Santa Barbara before I could get out there to inspect. I think it was for sale at a place in Arizonia called SteelDreamz or StreetDreamz prior to that.

If I was still in the market for a wagon, I ended up buying a 66 CS off EBay from Oakland, CA for far less than $12K or $19K, I'd make a trip to IA to inspect it. My guess, based on its track record, is that it will be up for sale at another Mecum Auction, maybe DesMoines, IA or St. Charles, IL in a year. Dana Mecum seems to be the only one profitting off this wagon.

 

This '67 has been re-listed on eBay, auction expires Dec. 13:

Wow, 16k seemed like strong money for this car?

 

Clean wagon, but it doesn't have the equipment that I would want...
The only thing that makes it desireable IMO, is the 3-2 barrels and the Ford performance air cleaner (that looks like the one on their 427's). One of the coolest looks for an engine, ever.

Seems the only interest this wagon's getting is from the speculators. (One speculator sells to another speculator, then sells it back....? Is that what happened?) Tells you something about the market....)
The real market value of this wagon is probably right around $11k.........

 

EBay tactics

Can someone explain to me why he lists the wagon on EBay, pulls it before the auction ends and then relists it? I think it made it all the way to $5K in the last auction, now it's back at $500....
