This 1950 Ford Woodie has undergone a complete stock restoration with every piece either repaired, refurbished or replaced. The only deviation was installing carpet over the standard linoleum and rubber mats. Judging from the pictures the restoration looks outstanding. The ‘Hawthorne Green’ paint shines deeply, the woodwork, chrome and interior is beautiful and the engine bay is clean and detailed.
You can find this Ford woodie at Collector Car Ads for $51,500.
Found on Hemmings with an asking price of $24,500 is this 1953 Ford Ranch Wagon. Brought out of storage after 17 years, the 2 door wagon was reconditioned and then moved to Florida where the V8 engine was rebuilt. Since the rebuild the car has been driven about 1,500 miles. The wagon is finished in Cascade Green with a tan interior. Fenton headers with glasspack give this flathead V8 a unique sound. Everything is said to work except for the cigarette lighter, but really who would ever want to smoke in this beauty?
This 1964 Ford Falcon 2 door wagon found on Ebay was recently driven from LA to Saint Louis on route 66. A nice voyage for a survivor that had spent the previous 10 years in a garage before being resurrected through an estate sale. With a 200 straight six and three-on-the tree manual transmission the economical Falcon averaged 28 mpg. The trip wasn’t without incident as the adventurous couple who made the trip had some overheating issues, but these have been resolved by adding a new radiator, water pump and thermostatically controlled radiator fan.
A cool feature on this Falcon is the original longhorn cattle motif seat fabric that looks to be in fantastic shape. The chrome roof rack and dogdish hubcaps are also a nice touch.
This one owner 1978 Ford LTD 6 passenger station wagon with 109,000 miles is said to be 100% original and without a speck of rust. The photos back the claim of originality showing just minor wear on the interior and a laser straight exterior that has just a bit of patina in the paint.
A 460 V8 powers the LTD and the car is said to run and drive beautifully. Options include a factory tow package (never used), power steering, brakes and tailgate, cruise control and air conditioning that blows cold.
This Arizona wagon can be found on Ebay with a BIN price of $5,900
Found on Craigslist in Encinitas, California with an asking price of $17,500 is this stunning 1962 Ford Falcon Deluxe 4 door station wagon. The pictures are spectacular and the seller says the pictures don’t even do the car justice! A full gallery of 89 photos can be seen on Flickr.
The Falcon was owned by it’s first owner for 43 years and has 90k original miles. Documents include the original dealers sale form and the car’s build sheet. Just about every component of the car has been replaced or restored. Some of the “Deluxe” options include chrome window surrounds and rear quarter aluminum “washboard” trim that was a one year option on the Falcon.
Te engine compartment is gleaming new and has the proper factory decals applied. A surf rack is included and the retro surf stickers on the rear window are a perfect touch.
The seller has boldly stated that this is “hands down” the nicest Ford Falcon wagon in the U.S. and based on the pictures we would have to agree.
Couldn’t resist this Ebay find- a 1964 Ford Falcon surf wagon tastefully customized in a Tiki motif. A California car (naturally), the Tiki appointments include a bamboo covered roof rack, bamboo “Tiki Taxi” lettering and bamboo themed headliner and door inserts. Surfer decals and a coconut hanging from the radio help complete the theme. The mid sixties Falcon seems the perfect fit for the Tiki/surf theme.
Mechanically the Falcon comes with a 3 speed stick, 289 V8 engine, Edelbrock 4bbl carb, Offenhauser intake and a Mallory distributor.
