OK we all know that you can buy an old Ford station wagon for $500 but not one like this. This 1969 Country Sedan is almost totally original and in really great condition. It has a 429 2bbl an automatic gearbox and a Detroit Locker rear end. I can't imagine why someone ordered this spec back in 1969 but maybe they planned on hauling a trailer. However I see no evidence of a trailer hitch ever having been fitted. This car was in Hemmings a few years back. It then ended up on eBay. Here is a copy of the original verbage: "All Original 2 owner car! acquired 1973 108K mi. C-6 AT OH 1985 429 V-8 A/C AM radio Detroit Locker Rear End new rear window motor undercoated no accidents garaged 98 percent of lifetime rack good tires & brakes new rear coil springs. Excellent Condition & Super Clean! Runs and Drives Like a Dream! This car was only used for the annual Pheasant Hunting trips to Eastern Washington with all the Italian “Old Timers” and a faithful Golden Retriever named Jack. Thousands of Apples and Peppers came back home in this classic Ford Station Wagon."A customer of mine ended up with the car after the eBay auction and from there it came to me about 3 years ago. In that time I have driven the car maybe 100 miles. When my customer got the car he took it in to his local classic car shop for a complete going-over. He replaced the front brake calipers and pads front wheel bearings and seals rear brake shoes and wheel cylinders and brake master cylinder. The car was given a complete tuneup with a Pertronix Ignitor fitted. The heater core was replaced and all of the coolant hoses were renewed. A complete dual exhaust system was fitted. The battery was replaced along with valve cover gaskets and upper trailing arm bushings. The automatic transmission was flushed and serviced. This work was performed in April 2012 and receipts are present. There is also a folder of receipts from prior owners starting in 1976. The mileage trail on the invoices indicates that the mileage of 107426 (assumed because of the 5-digit odometer) is correct. Cosmetically this car is a real time capsule. The paint appears to be totally original but I did respray sections of the rear fenders due to small blisters in the paint. Otherwise there is no evidence of accident damage or paint repairs. The car is 46 years old so there are small flaws like paint chips and a few very minor dings here or there. However given its age the overall appearance is really amazing. There are a couple of small dings in a few of the aluminum side moldings and the original bumpers have some very minor hazing but overall very nice. The interior is 100% original. There are no tears evident anywhere and the dash is uncracked. The black carpet has faded to a greyish-brown due to age but is in great condition otherwise. Headliner is in great shape. All glass is good except for one small chip on the windshield as pictured. There is some scratching and signs of use to the rear floor area and tailgate from years of hauling. No third row seat is fitted.Mechanically I would literally get in this car and head for New York without hesitation. The tires are almost 100%. The 429 engine pulls like a train it shifts perfectly and brakes and steering both function as well as they did in 1969 which means you sort of float down the road guiding the car along like a boat. It's a little hard to burn rubber because the Detroit Locker goes into action as soon as you floor it. Everything seems to work with the exception of the radio and the air conditioning. I was told that it needed a new AC compressor but never got around to that. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a big block Ford in almost totally original condition. You just have to ignore the jokes about somebody's Grandma having had one when they were a kid. I'll bet Grandma didn't have a 429... Please feel free to ask questions or to make a reasonable offer.
