I’ll be right up front about this listing; Sadly this “Grocery Getter” probably isn’t worth much for anything other than a parts car. It s a complete 1959 Ford Country Sedan that was converted into a “Surf Wagon” back in the 70’s and then parked under a pine tree closed up tight where it sat untouched for over 30 plus years. The floor pans are rotted through. the Interior has allot of condensation rust from being sealed up, upholstery is trash. Well except maybe the back seat which is still wrapped in a dealer installed plastic cover. You can pretty much tell the overall abused/neglected condition of this poor old “Long Roof” in the pics, which are current.
I haven’t tried to start it (332 V8, w/automatic), the tires hold air for about five minutes, no brakes. I bought this station wagon for the 9inch rear end which I had rebuilt and exchanged it with the overhauled 8 inch out of my 56 Fairlane resto rod. This wagon has a good 56 Ford sedan rear end under it currently, other than that it hasn’t been touched in 30 plus years.
I don’t want to invest allot of time answering questions about this car. I’m also not interested in parting it out. No B.S., if it doesn’t sell I’ll have it picked up for scrap. However if you are seriously interested and in need of a parts car, I’ll do my best to help with any questions or take specific pictures as I’d hate to see this poor ‘ol wagon crushed. Yes, I have the title, but I won’t surrender it until you physically remove the car, as I don’t want the car abandon here and me without a title to have it hauled off. And really, it’s probably not worth fetching unless your within a few hundred miles of Redmond Oregon, it will have to be picked up on site and wenched onto your trailer. In it’s current shape it can’t really be moved towed anyplace for shipment. 10 percent deposit withing 48 hours, balance due when car is picked up within 30 days of end of auction (Cash or Cashier check)

Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.
Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.
Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.
