Ford 4.6 L

Classic styling with the reliability of modern power and reliability. 1958 Ford Country sedan wagon with modern upgrades. After owning several classic cars and dealing with the headaches, I wanted a car that I could drive on the freeway, with modern upgrades but with classic styling. So I had the old engine replaced with a fuel injected 215-hp Ford 4.6 L engine. With this kind of power, it handles freeway speeds with no problems. I also installed new disk brakes so it stops just as fast. This car has tons of modern upgrades: disk brakes, electric wipers, new gas tank, exhaust, new carpet, and lots of other custom components as the pictures show. Plus, new Firestone tires. Just as important, I've spent countless thousands on bodywork to take care of all the usual rust spots like the running boards and tailgate. You will not find a 1958 wagon body in this good a shape. Unfortunately, like many restoration projects, I've run out of funds so I have to sell it. Because I started with the important parts first (body, engine, brakes), it does need some finishing touches. Here are the issues I know of... I did install AC but there's a leak in the line somewhere. The last shop lost the keys so they installed a new ignition set but the doors need to be rekeyed. I never did it because I never lock it anyways. It's currently matte black primer (which is in style today) but its ready to be painted whatever color you'd like. I did have the dash painted a beautiful blue two-tone based on original paint codes so that'd make a great color set. The lighter gray in the picture is because the last shop used a lighter color primer but it shows where the newest body work has been done. All the work was done by professional restoration shops (which is partially why I've run out of funds) so the car drives fantastically. This is an amazing car so if you have any questions, please ask.

I posted additional pictures. So the carpet's new. The seats I'd call very good. No cuts or tears anywhere but as you can see from the pics there some discoloration in spots but nothing major. I also had the seats restuffed (no sure the technical term) so they feel good too. The headliner's original. It's discolored with age with hole in some spots but overall ok for fabric that's nearly 60 years old.

The initial body and all engine work (engine swap, wiring harness, brakes, exhaust, shocks, dash, carpet install) was done by Queen City Fabrication in Charlotte, NC when it used to be called Red's Place. Then I moved to Minnesota for work where the next round of bodywork was done by Vescio's Customization and Restoration in Rogers, MN. They did the lighter gray areas like the tailgate and the dog logs. While in MN the dyno was tuned by Apple Racing, the performance tuners for Apple Valley Ford.
