They're only original once and I love it. I'm familiar with this 1 of 1 I've seen it in a video a few yrs ago. Glad it's in the right hands.
I agree!
That wagon is something else wow
I agree
Great car. Only one thing. You forgot to show us the snake under the hood.
I love it I am so envious!😀🇨🇦
That’s the coolest wagon ever 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I don't think rain is going to hurt that wagon
My first car was a Ford station wagon. Three on the tree, 289 with no exhaust or power steering. Maroon in color, circa 1979 - 80.
great road trip car
I think so too
Amazing vehicle, hot rod wagon. My PopPop had a 66 or 67 Ford Galaxie 500 four door that was supposed to be an Ohio State Police Patrol car that was turned back in and shipped to New Jersey to be sold. It had the 428 V8 with grayish paint and same interior. That thing would GO.
FUN
When I was a kid I had a 65 country squire wagon pulled the 352 out and put in a 428 from my brother's 66 convertible that car was fun but with drum brakes it was hard to stop
I’ll bet!
Thanks for another good video Barry!
You are very welcome!
I remember my grandfather owning one of those fords and on the floorboard where the bright light switch was. There was a hidden switch that you pushed underneath the carpet to change The radio stations because of that I used to freak out my friends, by hitting the radio, like Fonzie, and pressing the button when I was sitting in the driver seat to change the station.Lol fun memory’s
Super sleeper
I agree!
Wow that wagon had some power, usually people back then had 6 or more kids and at times pulled a trailer to go camping or all would sleep there instead of renting 2 or 3 motel rooms for the night on a long road trip
Yes I think that happened a lot
Awesome! Building a 68 country sedan wagon currently
Wonderful!
AWESOME 💯😎
I want that wagon.
When I worked for Chevrolet my parts department manager also had a similar unicorn. A 1963 Chevrolet Nova Wagon with a 327, 4 speed, A/C Power windows, Posi rear end.
In 63 that was an amazing Nova Wagon!!
Someone needs to restore the Country Squire!! It IS very rare being 1 of 1 with the 4speed, console and bucket seats but IMHO its just rotting away and more than deserves a complete body off restoration.
I'm wondering if this was a Ford exec car, special order. The DSO number might reflect that. I met Lee Iacocca in 2009 at Galpin Ford, and I was awarded a Lee Iacocca Award in 2008 for my work with the GT/CS Mustang.
Congratulations!
The story I recall is a good customer (regular fleet buyer) pushed his order up the chain all the way to Iacocca because he wanted what he wanted…
Type the car into TH-cam, you will get all the info on it. Been on many times and many years. The true story is fascinating.
Lee Iacocca was a big problem for Ford.
I'm not going to slander him here and by no means I'm do I want to knock you in any way, but you must read about the terrible things he did to Ford Motor Company. A book named "Ford: The Man and the Machine" sums him up in detail. of course there are other publications that yield a similar summary.
Cheers!
@@BarryTsGarage That's basically it. He wanted to drive something sporty, with a big block and four speed, but he had a family, and needed the wagon. Chevy probably would have built it for him outright, but he was a Ford man, and fleet buyer. I guess he gave Ford enough fleet business that he was able to assert some pull and persuade Ford to build it. Ford never officially offered the 4 speed in the wagon.
That's right. He was already committed to the "Ford World" and was determined that he should be able to get what he wanted...
Very nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Cool time capsule 😮
Agreed
Awesome video thanks for sharing.
My first car was a 1970 Ford Wagon.
Wish I had it now.
No doubt!
428 FE 😊
Occasionally you see full size wagons with big engines and four speeds. People would order these to pull trailers. Four speed was thought to be more durable than automatics.
Very Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd be interested to know a little more about the car's history. Who ordered it built that way and why did it need Iacocca's approval for the 4 speed? How far outside the boundaries of regular availability was that option and what was so special about it that it had to go that high?
I would refer you to search barn find hunter on Hagerty’s channel. Pretty in depth story there.
I guess they were “just not” building full size wagons with floor mounted stick shifts. May have to do with how they ran the factory for a reason we don’t know now. Certainly few would have been ordered even if available.
Does anyone know if GM or Chrysler offered wagons in 1967 with biggest engine plus 4 speed?
@@BarryTsGarage OK thanks, I'll do that. I know of a guy in the Edmonton Canada region who has a '68 full size Chevy wagon with a 427 and a 4 speed. Don't know if it's original equipment or not but I assume it is.
Cool! I know Canada had different rules for how they put cars together so there may be more up there than I don’t know about… Thanks for the comment
@@BarryTsGarage Ya, there were some strange ones up here for sure. Pontiacs that were just warmed over Chevys, Fords that weren't Fords, 2 extra years of Studebakers.....
All true
My buddies brother has one, it was a k9 unit.
428 scj 4 speed
He said it was tough driving around town but it would do 180
😂
Way better than a Family Truckstr
WAY
Very cool wagon!!!!!! 👍👍
Agreed!
I saw one on Hagerty a few years ago. Possibly the same car.
I'm sure it was. Thanks
Sorry but I'm not a purist when it comes down to original condition , but I am a purist when it comes to a car being restored exactly the way it was originally built , I would definitely have to restore this car .
I can understand your point, this is a tough one because I can see an argument both ways… Thanks for your comment
Absolutely Correct, Absolute Car Nut, But It Needs To Be Redone With A Beautiful Paintjob" No Rat Rods!
That was my late Father's ride when I was a kid.
I remember going to the drive in movie and he would open the tailgate, lift that metal cover on the storage area, close the tailgate and that made a perfect lean back seat.
I learned how to drive with that car after the brake booster went out.
Can't count how many times I hit the steering wheel.
That car was sky blue and I believe original.
Don't know what size engine but I know it didn't hesitate when hitting the gas .
What is the mileage on the station wagon
Yes I'm sure those vents were just to bring in fresh oxygen when the back window is rolled down
Great point
IIRC the Ford deep dish, semi-padded steering wheels were a safety feature.
Ford led the American brands with early consideration of seat belts, padded dashes, etc.
You are right, all the 1967 Ford cars had that padded center of the steering wheel, some called it the flower pot.
The SUV’s of the 1960’s. Now All the women want one. The Big “IN” thing. I’m 70 and remember not too many wanted a Station Wagon back then .
I remember that way also… It seems like a lot of the women took the wagon because they had to and later on the minivan became that same thing.
I recall a few of the intermediate wagons seemed a bit more sporty and attractive, like the Vista cruiser, but not many
👍👍👍👍👍
Its a shame to let a classic like that Rust as once the rust goes thru its too late And can't see the owner fixing it as its crying for repair
Do you want to sell it?
I don’t believe he does …
why would you need to go to lee iaccoca for that?
It was such a special order he had to approve it
You didn't show under the hood or start it. Big rookie mistake!
Yup. But it is stock so nothing different to show…
Gee, couldn't even pop the hood ? Poor showing.
I should have asked - but the main story is the front seat. Thanks
Another one of those one in a million cars....................what a joke this has become.
I thought it was interesting
FALSE claim.
Where are the others? 5 Years later no one has shown anything…? So based on what, exactly? I’m willing to learn, but from facts 👍
ANY backyard mechanic can do an engine swap !!! ... no documentation ?? ... NO DEAL !! ...end of story !!
I hear you!
I’ve seen this car it has boat loads of documentation including original bill of sale and letter to Lee Iacocca. Not shown here but it exists.
I would refer anyone to the original Hagerty shows with Tom on this car.
@@BarryTsGarage according to YOU - every car had a 454
or a 455, 440, 427, 409, etc etc, right?
there are 50 roadrunners with 4-doors .... there are 50 GTOs with 4-doors ... there are 50 mustangs with 4-doors (yawn)
I believe Tom found it in a junk yard and it was destined to be crushed, whee-u, close one, the guy who ordered it had a family, yet wanted a hot rod. I worked in a gas station when I was a kid back in "70" and there was a guy who would come in in a 67 red conv Ford like this one @ hub caps, asked me to check the oil, 427, looked in the cabin, buckets @ console and a 4 speed, made me melt
Wow - I would have melted too! That was a setup!!
Great automobile, but you should have popped the hood. THX!
We should have 🙏
