UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS GORGROUS 1971 FORD COUNTRY SQUIRE STATION WAGON. IT IS FROM CALIFORNIA AND IS A VERY DRY CAR. IF YOU ARE COUNTRY SQUIRE FANATIC LIKE I AM, 2 THINGS ARE VERY IMPORTANT ISSUES ON THESE CARS. 1. A NICE BODY, WITH ZERO OR MINIMAL RUST 2. CONDITION OF THE WOODWORK BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE THE WORST WALLET SUCKING EXCERCISE YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO NOT GO THROUGH!!!! WITH THAT BEING SAID THESE ARE 2 ISSUES THAT YOU WILL NOT NEED TO DEAL WITH ON THIS CAR. THESE CARS COST MORE TO RESTORE THAT A TYPICAL MACH 1. THOUGH THE WAGONS HAVE A FOLLOWING THEY ARE NOT PRICED LIKE A MACH 1, AT LEAST NOT YET!!!! I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE SAN JOSE AREA LAST YEAR, HAD IT SHIPPED HOME AND BEGAN MAKING IT "MY CAR". SINCE THEN I HAVE RAN ACROSS ANOTHER SQUIRE THAT IS AN ORIGINAL PIECE AND MORE OF WHAT I WANTED SO I AM OFFERING THIS CAR AT NO RESERVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN I GOT IT HAD A WHITE PAINTED ROOF WHICH I KNEW ABOUT FROM DAY ONE BUT ALSO HAD PLANS TO PAINT IT BLUE. SO I SHIPPED IT OFF TO MY FRIENDS BODY SHOP AND IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE HE CALLED AND PERSUADED ME TO PAINT THE WHOLE CAR. NO RUST REPAIR AND VERY LITTLE PREPARATION WAS NEEDED SO I GAVE HIM THE GO AHEAD. HE BASE COAT/CLEAR COATED IT AND WET SANDED AND BUFFED TO TOP SURFACES. ALSO THE SURROUND MOLDING WAS NICKED UP SOME SO HE REMOVED THAT, REPAIRED THE IMPERFECTIONS AND REINSTALLED AFTER PAINT. THE WOODGRAIN WAS RECENTLY DONE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND LOOKS REALLY NICE. THE BUMPERS ARE NICE AND DRIVER QUALITY. THAT PRETTY MUCH COVERS THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR. THE INTERIOR IS LARGELY ORIGINAL WITH ONLY THE FRONT SEAT BEING RECOVERED AND THE CARPET REPLACED. THE DASH IS PERFECT AND NO CRACKS ANYWHERE. DASH LIGHTS WORK, INTERIOR LIGHTS AS WELL. HEATER AND DEFROSTER WORK AS DOES THE AC BLOWS COLD. ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS WORK TO INCLUDE REVERSE LIGHTS AND LICENSE LAMPS. [LOVE THOSE CALIFORNIA CARS!!] THIRD SEATS APPEAR TO NEVER HAVE SAT IN. THE PREVIOUS OWNER STATED THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION WERE REBUILT ABOUT 30K MILES AGO BUT I HAVE NO PAPERWORK FOR THAT. LOOKING AT THE TRANSMISSION IT CERTAINLY LOOKS TO HAVE OUT NOT LONG AGO, SAME WITH THE ENGINE. IT STARTS, RUNS AND SHIFTS WONDERFULLY AND WOULD RECOMMEND NO REPAIRS FOR IT. THE MOTOR IS A 400 CID WITH A C6 TRANSMISSION. THINGS I THINK THE CAR NEEDS. THE TAILGATE GLASS IS VERY, VERY TOUCHY. NOT WANTING TO GO UP AND DOWN AT WILL IT WILL NEED A SWITCH OR SOMETHING. THIS TAILGATE OPENS AND CLOSES WITH THE WINDOW UP OR DOWN SO IT WAS NOT A BIGEE WITH ME. THE REAR COMPARTMENT FLOOR AREA COULD USE A REPAINT AS WELL AS THE TRIM PANEL FOR THE TAILGATE. THEY HAVE SEEN SOME WEAR. NOT ALL POUNDED UP DOES NEED PAINT.THE HORN IS NOT WORKING ALSO. OTHER THAN THE AFOREMENTIONED, THIS IS A SUPERB DRIVER AND CATCHES EYES AND IS A PLEASURE TO DRIVE. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS CAR PLEASE CALL ME AT 715-281-9340 OR E-MAIL. REMEMBER, THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION AND SHE WILL GO TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. THE CAR IS SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION SHOULD A GOOD OFFER COME. SHIPPING IS UP TO THE BUYER BUT WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE IT HOME, WHEREVER THAT MAY BE. I REQUIRE A 25% DEPOSIT 3 DAYS POST AUCTION AND THE BALANCE 7 DAYS POST AUCTION. CAR WILL NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL FUNDS HAVE PROPERLY CLEARED. THANKS AND BID HIGH AND OFTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
