I am the thrid owner of this 10 passenger 1969 Ford Country Squire Wagon. It started life from Billingsley Ford in Porterville, Ca., remaining there until it moved to the second owner in Humboldt Country Ca. I bought it from that owner in 2006. It has lived in dry climates, except Humboldt County, where it sat in the weather 5 years.

 

The Squire was ordered as a trailer towing package, and has new air shocks in the back. A hitch is insalled with trailer light plugs. I have never attempted towing with this vehicle, so am unsure of the hitch or wiring.

 

This vehicle is absolutely complete, with all original trim, mirrors, radio, speakers,  and speaker grills. I have removed some components to storage during phases of work on the vehicle.

 

I have spent $18000 on this vehicle, including the following:

1. Rebuilt 429 engine and C6 transmission with less than 2,000 miles on the rebuild.

2. New upholstery on front two seats, using OEM stock. The upholstery on the rear jump seats is original, and matches the new work.

3. New carpet

4. Dashboard and rear interior panels restored by Dash Restorations of Oregon.

5. New A/C Sanden compressor, evaporator,hoses and coolant.

6. Numerous extra parts, including a front passenger side fender extension, extra headlight door, and other parts too numerous to mention.

7. New tailgate motor

8. All lights work on this car, as well as the headlight doors.

 

What this vehicle needs:

1. New carburetor. It is quite drivable, but the 429 was designed for leaner fuel mixtures. It would perform optimally with a new Holly or Edelbrock.

2. New wiring to the tailgate.

3. The A/C blower is currently non-operational.

4. A good paint job and new "woody" panels.

5. Restoration to the fiberglass trim.

6. New headliner

7. A warm garage.

 

Problems with the vehicle:

1. Surface rust on the body from its days in Humboldt. This has not appeared to spread since I acquired the vehicle.

2. The regulator on the passenger vent needs replacement. This New Old Stock part is included.

3. A minor coolant leak on the top connection to the intake manifold.

4. Minor leak from throttle pump on carburetor.

5. Rust hole in rear floor pan under jumpseats.

6. The horn only operates if the wheel is turned side to side. This can be fixed with a new turn signal switch.

 

I have tried to represent this vehicle to the best of my ability. I would love to keep this car and finish the restoration, but lack the resources to do so. This car needs to go to a good, loving home.

Many thanks for your interest!
