1967 Ford Country Squire Description
Fantastic cruiser, rare, low-miles survivor, 390 V8 runs strong and quiet, buttery smooth factory power steering, front disc brakes, C6 automatic. Rolls down the interstate at 80 mph with breaking a sweat.
Do you have a wagon memory, too? My dad had a ’65 when I was a kid, yanked the motor to put it in a truck, and had the shell carted away. What a shame! I bought this car just a few months ago to right my dad’s wrong, and now my kids have wagon memories, too. Unfortunately, now, they’ll also remember how dad sold his wagon. I hate to part with it, but my folks aren’t doing well, and I need to move my family closer.
This Country Squire has such a great vibe, both for the driver and for on-lookers. It’s a rare, cool car, and makes a guy feel good to be alive. I’ve used this As a semi-regular driver, swapping out with my ’69 Fairlane, also for sale, and added about 2,000 miles since I bought it. It’s been trouble free from day one.
Confession – it was a Michigan car, you may have seen it listed here before, and the frame is rusty, as are fender wells and rear-most floor. I loaded it heavy with boxes of my books and hand-made furniture to sell in Mississippi, however, and never had any of trouble.
