This is an incredible nice original 80K mile Falcon Squire Wagon that I have been blessed to own the past 3-5 years. The car was restored to a really nice nice driver condition. Everything is nicely detailed including the new rebuilt 200 motor.
The motor... a ford 200 with a GM distrubutor ($500), chrome valve cover, large 9mm race wires, 2 bbl webber carb ($500) and clifford exhaust header ($400) that is chrome. The car runs really good on the highway and cruises the local streets with ease. Breathes really nice with the header and has plenty of get up and go with the 200 and the 2 bbl webber carb...The whole motor compartment was stripped and painted, and then the new power plant installed. Also updated it to an Alternator. Everything is show-n-go for the engine bay.
The interior... is all finished in two tone beige and wood accents. the back deck is a medium stained real wood deck and matched the interior perfect giving it a great beachy "woody" look. The front seats are high back 2012 Mustang Leather seats that are really comfortable...can be hooked up to be electric (currently not hooked up but easily done)...Has new custom carpet, new headliner, new door panels, new dash pad, new steering wheel. The interior was compleatly stripped and restored. New heater core installed too.
Exterior... Stripped and painted base/clear dark metallic green with an off white top. Then hand rubbed and buffed out to a high luster. It's a really nice paint job that has a couple small flaws in it from driving it to shows the past year or so, I mean small small flaws, but thought I would disclose them. All of the original Squire accents are present including the gas cap which is really hard to find. All squire badging is there and in really good shape.
The rear window is electric., it goes up and down with a switch in the dash...or by key. All of the glass in in great condition...and the front windsheild is new.
All weatherstripping is new., all window rubber, door jam weatherstripping etc....all the windows were removed when painting to get the best detail possible...then the car was put back together. The detail is really nice on this car.
I have had nothing but joy with this Squire Wagon and the new owner will do nothing but have joy when they own it.
Details...
- I have some extras that come with the car...a couple surf boards, a hula hule girl for the dash
- AM/FM/CD stereo is mounted in the glove box with a bass mounted in the spare tire area giving a nice rich sound.
- Custom console
All in all this car needs nothing but a garage to live in. The 2 speed transmission does the job., but if I was to keep the car, I would install an early c-4 as they are more up to date.
If you have any questions on this Squire Wagon, don't hesitate to call., or if you would like more photos of the motor area (completely detailed) and or interior don't hesitate to ask. I will entertain offers too.
Car is also for sale locally here in Sacramento., although if there are bids and they are close to my asking price I will let the listing ride. But I do reserve the right to pull the listing if is sells locally. If I get around to listing it local.
Thanks., Guy 916-549-1088

Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers
Wed, 30 Apr 2014Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
