Notes:
This wagon has not seen the road since 1967 and was stored inside for many years, saving it from the elements.  The chrome is in exceptional original condition.  The body has a few dents and dings but is overall very straight.  Paint is mostly original and appears to have only been repainted on the passenger side front fender and the lower sections below the trim on both doors.  She will need outer rocker skins replaced, and some patch repair on the floors as well as the underside of the hood near each hinge.  The underside was heavily undercoated when new.  The interior seats are in great condition and would work well for a driver.  All of the glass looks to be in good condition other than the driver side vent window is cracked.  The previous owner stated that the wagon was a runner until he removed the cylinder heads and intake, to start the rebuild process.  The heads and timing cover are attached for transport.  It is missing the carburetor.

The car comes with new: Upper/lower ball joints, inner/outer tie rods, tie rod adjuster sleeves, idler arm, control arm bushings, all shocks, wheel bearings, bearing seals, all wheel cylinders, all brake shoes, brake adjusters, springs, etc.
Reconditioned: 312 Cylinder heads, water pump, fuel pump, piston rings, main cam/rod bearings, master gasket set, Accel plug wires, Motorcraft plugs, cap/rotor, push rods, lifters, motor mounts, inner firewall insulator.  New carpet, new radiator, rebuilt generator, oil pump rebuild kit, Isky camshaft, sway bar end links/bushings.

Rolls and steers easily for transport.  Clear title.
