Station wagon is a hearse not cool to me! I'm a Ford guy,, but I like all cars! The girl is pretty,, your sister .
If I can afford something like that vehicle I would turn into a nice Street Machine w/ side pipes or straight pipes with two Cherry Bombs mufflers.
What did you pay for that ford wagon?
The wagon runs good and it’s loud like band new and V8 400 size that is a big block
how much on the ford wagon
We had a 76 Ford LTD country squire station wagon when I was little. Lots of good times! Busted my head on the back flip up seats...dad drove me to the fire station where they stitched me up quick. I even learned to shuffle cards in the back on a trip. It always smelled like vinyl and grease in that car. Ahhh. Such good memories
I wonder how many, “if you don’t stop I’m going to turn this car around!” trips this car has had.
I remember those days lol
Mom would just throw her right hand back and start slapping ....😂😂😂
Are we there yet??????
I was thinking the same and I wonder how many backhand’s where thrown.
@@JRB1974 parents didnt hit they just stopped in front of McDonald's and we sar still for 10 mins quick
Lance and Wyatt i can’t tell you how much I enjoy the videos that you produce. They take me back in time when these kinds of cars ruled the roadways.
But more importantly, is how you present the work you are doing to it. I can almost follow and understand, and it’s because you take the time to explain what you are doing to try and bring these cars back to life.
God bless you both and I hope the good Lord gives you all the success on your future projects and protects you both.
As always you guys are on it.
1972 Ford station wagon
I remember my grandpa had an old station wagon
It was a three on the tree.
1972 I was seven years old.
I remember ridding in the back of his station wagon.
And he was shifting gears.
Once again you three rock this channel.
Keep up the great work you do.
May God bless Each and Everyone of you.
Lance wiet and Christian.
Can't wait to see your next episode.
Great video👍🔧 This brings back memories, my dad had a white 1973 LTD station wagon, all blue interior with 429 4 barrel, it was a smooth ride with tons of power on the open highway, sounded like a cop engine when you got on it . My dad called it his "JET" 🚀
I love the styling of cars from this era, very cool wagon. Hope it gets restored.
I swear, I would look at this car sitting in a yard or field and dismiss it. I never realize how cool some of these old cars are until Restored gets them up and driving again.
Great live video! I really like the will it run video’s. Thank you for the always outstanding content, your family works so well together. God bless you all!
I would clean it up and daily drive it. I love those wagons
Accel super coil. 90s stuff there. We had a station wagon when I was kid. Had the rear facing rear seat. Looking back that thing was a Christine of sorts. Riding down a 2 lane road that was almost even with a river, one of the rear tires just popped off. I was sitting in the rear facing seat. All I saw was sparks. In my head we were headed for the river. Dad kept that from happening. Windshield wiper arms flew off in a storm one night. The final nail in the coffin was when we were driving along and the timing jumped and sent fire out the carb. All we could do was pull over, get out and watch it burn to the ground. Crazy car.
Those are highly desirable these days because they were beat to death back then. Looks Great no rust. Great Job as Always.👍
Got 1 id sell
Great job guys and you too Christian with the directing and camera work! My parents had a green 1972 LTD with that same green interior lol! Glad to hear my friend from REVSTORATION got his autographed cap! I'm jealous now!
I had a 77 Galaxie with a straight 6 the car is probably still running today best engine Ford ever made
Nice job on that one! She's got a lot of potential. If it was up to me, I'd like to see it restored back to factory. Looking forward to more!
My mom had one just like this when I was a kid. I love it
Good Lord Almighty... I remember when those 1972 models were new in Kansas. Nice to see y’all Lance & family. Greetings from California.
Another classic saved from the wrecking yard! Keep up the great work.
Awesome. Look forward to watching this as soon as I get some free time! Appreciate the time spent in filming/editing. I'm sure it's another banger!
Hard, arduous work but the effect is excellent. ongratulation from Vietnam 🥰😘👍
I had a 1972 Country Squire with the fake woodgrain sides. The original 2 barrel 429 threw a rod so we replaced the engine with a 1970 429 4 barrel premium fuel hi-po engine from a salvage yard. The thing really ran good and it was quick.
I drove a 1972 Galaxie 500 Military special in the early 90s. It was a beautiful old officer's car. I miss it, those engines are insanely powerful.
What a find. Growing up in Australia everyone with kids had a station wagon. Nearly all were just 6 cylinders, we didn't have many V8s on everyday purpose vehicles. Nowadays there's hardly any from this era left and those that remain are generally fully restored & sell for big money. We had mainly Holden Kingswood & Ford Falcon.
My mom had the sea-green LTD Country Squire model with the fake wood paneling. I had forgotten the magic two-way tailgate. LOL. Thanks for the memories.
I had one in high school! Green with a white top. Everyone called it the green hearse. 400 engine and 60k on the odometer. The green cloth interior still had the factory plastic covers on it when I got it. I think green was a staple color for the interiors back then. I had 3 Fords and 2 Pontiacs with green interiors. It reminds me of my grandfather and great-grandfather teaching me about 40 years ago.
Thank you for all the fond memories!
Missed the live feed...but I am really impressed with how solid this car seems to be. I know I'm only hearing it run on my phone but it seems to be rattling pretty hard. Excited to see where this ends up. As for what I'd do with it? Knock the dents out...repaint and redo the interior. This kind of thing reminds me of my childhood. Having a stock spec or close to it wagon like this would be awesome.
love these wagons , go through the running gear ,some new wheels and tires nice daily driver would love to own this
The company my dad worked for made the luggage rack for that car. We owned the Mercury Montego version of that when I was a kid
Use to work at a drug store we delivered meds. And hospital equipment in a car just like this one.I also hauled big green oxygen tanks in it .I would load that thing down with 10 of them tanks and drive 60 miles with the rear bumper nearly dragging .It had a 390 in it and it would run.Thanks for bringing back good memories.
Great comment made me laugh: it's a 50 year old Ford and he says "it's running rough". Lucky it runs at all.
yup being the 1st comment that pops up ruined it for everyone else im not even going to watch it now knowing its going to run
I really love these old Fords. My favorite is the 1970 Galaxy 500 fastback
My dad had one of those, and a country squire wagon before that with the faux wood on sides. The squire was a 68 I believe with a 390 4V .
Ford used the juice cans for vacume cannisters for a long time. It helped supply vacume for anything that needed it besides the brake booster and vacume advance. Speaking of that, if you hook up the advance on the distributor it will run much better and probably idle.
I had a beige with green interior 71 LTD wagon as my first car back in the 70s. Man do I want that car!
When I was a kid, we used one for camping, and drive in movies, and we could bring friends because it seats like 6 people. Lots of great childhood memories around these vehicles for a lot of people
Hi guys from here in lowestoft in the UK. Found out about you guys from watching vgg. Hope your all well and love your content. Keep up the good work
Talking about kids in the back we rode in one of those to field trips in grade school with one of my friends mother's station wagon identical to that one, Brings back so many memories seeing you guys working on that car thank you for sharing another great video 👍👍🙏
Love the car finally got to drive by you guys shop I was coming back from Monroe Louisiana on the 13th and GPS took us some different directions going it said Bogta Texas I'm like hey I know where I'm at this is the home of restored so it was so cool to see all those cars in person he had out in the shop thanks
WOW! My first car was a 70 Ford Galaxy 4dr. Memories!!! And a lot to ask Gods forgiveness for!!!
LOVE IT! You guys crack me up trying a burn-out with this old beast! That 400cu would definitely give you a good burn-out if you were able to do a hole-shot! Love the videos.
I LOVE these big old "yank Tanks" as they used to call them in the UK when I was growing up. From a time when bigger was better. When we moved to New Zealand in the early 80s my dad bought an Australian Holden Kingswood Station Wagon with wide bench seats and a column shift. I learned to drive in that bug hulking thing and they're rare as hen's teeth now and worth a fortune. Wish we;d kept it!
Both you inspired me to keep loving my old Opel Corsa 28 years. My own car used from brand new patch it has plenty story for my family. You encouraged me a lot, big Thanks, though.
Hey Restored love the station wagon! Hope you can get her road worthy. Great job!
Mi Dad had that same station wagon when I was a kid... I missed that car... I always sat in the very back...!!!!!
God bless you guys! We love watching you all! 🙏🥰
Glad to see you guys!!! Enjoy all the work you put into your videos..
I missed the end, as I had to duck out. I'll go back and see what transpired. God bless y'all, your content is out of this world. So glad to have y'all as neighbors to the east. 😊
Alot of fun watching your video. In my younger days I owned a 1971 Ford Galaxy 500 with a cleveland 351 motor. I loved those old Fords.
You guy'z are just awesome, especially bringing this beast of beauty to life it'z just incredible to see.
Watching after live time but love these!!!
My parents had 2 FORD station wagons. That damn green interior color brings me back. That vinyl bench seat used to get HOT in the summer!
We kids crawled all over it while mom drove . 😄
My Dad had the 1968, and my Uncle had the 1967 Ford wagons, Dad had I think a 302, and Uncle Bob hat the 289. Both were blue and ran in tandem on road trips from Minnesota to California, and lakes in Canada. The 67 was defiantly the coolest!
Love this car. My mom had one just like it when I was a kid . Is it gonna be for sale?
got a gm hei conversion dizzy on it
Id sell mine
@@tonyrhoton6613 how much?
A family that works together, achieve everything together. Godbless you all.
I drove a 1970 Mercury Marquis Colony Park station wagon in high school. We did quite a bit of traveling in it when I was a kid. The last time I drove it, it caught fire from leaking power steering hose. When I see a wagon like this, I'm reminded of that wagon.
This was a fun video. Sure would love to see a follow-up. That big ol' carb prolly has a lot of junk in it, as well as a lot of stuck bits (surely the float). The 400 sounds healthy. Galaxie/LTD models from the early 70's all pretty much use the same hood hinges; in TX, I'm sure they could be found in some boneyard on the cheap.
Once you clear out all the stuff in the back seat, you can drop it flat, open all the doors for good ventilation, and crawl back and carefully pull on the rod that opens the side latch at the passenger side of the tail gate so she opens like a door (don't need the window down). This model does not have facing seats, but it has a rear storage compartment near the gate and a third row that faces to the rear (my old baseball coach drove one). Many blessings!
Back in the day you would buy one of these big station wagons and piled in the family and went on vacation. Those were the days.
That’s a cool old wagon. People are starting to collect those now and restore them
That's awesome guys. God was with yall through the whole rebuild.
There's nothing like the sound of an old Ford starting.
1972 Ford Wagons were nice family cars ! Hope it will be back on the road soon . Happy Motoring !
In Canada we had these wagons but they were called "Country Squires" Or at least that was the name I knew and had never saw them labeled as a "Sedan" over here. But they are great cars!
Base model was called Ranch Wagon and next up was Country Sedan then Squire. Squires came with the woodgrain sides and upgraded interior. Because it has been a long time since these cars were out I may have the first two cars reversed. Could be Country Sedan, Ranch Wagon then Squire. Not totally positive.
You had it right the first way around
Man the longer I stare at that old Ford the less rust I see!You could really go rattle your neighbors windows with that 400 with open headers lol
This is my bucket list Dream car, I had a 4 door 69. I was going 135 miles per/ hr and threw a rod, spectacularly just past Santa Fe. The best thing is in the four door was Two could sleep well in the car, The wagon is a Plus,Plus!
8:10 I had one of those accel super coils in my 1978 mustang 2. They are good coils. Never had a starting issue with it, good hot spark
VERY COOL START UP !! My Family had a 66 Black "Ranch Wagon", powered by 240 ci 6 cyl & 3 on the tree ! We drove it to Florida on vaca when I was 14, with my 15yr old girlfriend allowed to come along. Best part(of which they're were many), was when Dad pulled over on the Interstate Rt#95 in Fla. & Let me drive
spent most of my childhood riding in the tale of those ford wagons.
The station wagons in the 1950s, 60s and 70s were the SUVs of the day. Family work horses.
My first car in high school was a 71 Ford Ranch Wagon...essentially the same car, but mine was green exterior and green interior. It was definitely a powerful ride, but also plenty of room for a lot of friends.
I like seeing these old machines restored back to how they were borning
I had a 1973 wagon when I was stationed at Ft. Campbell Ky, I forgot I had CQ that night and was in Nashville,I shot between 75 and 100 mph all the way back and got there,The next morning tried to fire it,I ended up blowing the timing chain and gears out of it due to low oil pressure,It had a 351 Windsor in it,I thought I had fried the engine,Put the new gears and chain in and drove it for another year before selling it to somebody else when I went back to Europe for my final tour of duty,Those wagons and especially the 351 windsor's are bullet proof.
Hey again guys another great video you guys give it your all myself I would say that you reached your goal she’s up and running moving on her own Great job guys
My family had a 1971 Country Squire. Same as this but had the wood siding. Yellow with black interior.
We didn’t have much money back then so our vacations were dragging a pop up camper around during the summer. We’re on vacation going south from DC and with my brother, two sisters, my mother, father, me and my mother’s two small poodles. My father hated to have to stop at every rest stop so everyone could go to the bathroom, so he kept a plastic bowl under the front seat.
I was “in the way back” and had to go. My dad passed the bowl back and I knelled up and went. I asked my dad “what do you want me to do now?”
Just then, he hit the rear window button up front and the rear window started going down.
With the camper pulling behind and the wind spoiler from the roof rack, when I tossed the contents of the bowl out, a half second later, a fine mist of pee came back and covered the inside, including my brother, two sisters, mom, dad and the two poodles, along with the interior and the front windshield.
My dad pulls over and comes running back yelling “what did you do? I was pulling over for you to pour it out!”
That was the only time we got a hotel room while on vacation. Everyone took a shower and the two poodles got a bath. That night, my dad spent several hours wiping the interior down.
The family talked about that for years!
Great video. Thanks for sharing 👍. It's definitely one hopefully someone will take a interest in. Thanks Lance, Wyatt and Christian👋
If you would have unhooked the charcoal filter and plugged the vacuum lines it probably would have ran much better. It amazed me that you knew you had vacuum leaks and didn’t block them.
I had the Country Squire version (429 4bbl) of this wagon. 71-2 front clips still used '69-70 wagon body. *I loved my wagon!* First car, total rust bucket. $350 in 1981. "Magic Doorgate" débuted on mid-60s FoMoCos.
God bless you guys and get it running and I want to buy it I need it
Awsome video guys. Always look forward your next one. Y'all rock
I believe your green sheet of metal in the rear seat is the facing for your tailgate.
I love the father and son show I watch it everyday
My parents had a 1971 Country Squire wagon - their first new vehicle. The car started rusting out so badly within a year or two that we couldn't sit in the way back anymore, and we could stick our fingers through the body cancer that was forming everywhere. (Ours was white and had the green interior too, but it had the imitiation woodgrain on the sides.)
Now that's a car worth saving. 👍
that t shirt is so cool and i loved the memorial yall gave him that came from alot of love and thought i know yalls good people
Thank you for the video I really enjoyed watching it. You guys be safe n God Bless you all.
I like that station wagon a lot probably more than anything else you’ve done before. I’m also just looking at the vista cruiser because you got me thinking about that car which is nice.
Always enjoy the family wrenching videos y'all put out. It's great to see the respect and Christian values that y'all live.
Keep the stance, fix the kinks in the outer body, muscle car it up, repair the upholstery and carpet. Make it my every day drive. My oldest sister had a ford station wagon with the two seats in the back facing one another. Loved that car. ❤️❤️
Lindo esse trabalho restaurar essas raridades amo ver
Man and pops are really good at figuring out how to start up cold classics.. bravo team win
I remember filling up my dad's car with water thinking that I was actually filling it up with gas ...
Boy I got a butt whoopin that day...!!!!
Was just trying to help so we could go to the lake...!!!!
Yup,,, we didn't go that day...!!!!
I would put an air ride system on it. Some nice looking stock type of wheels, painted red and have small center hubcaps with the thin beauty rings, so y'all can still see the red wheels. Oh, and make sure that the rear tires are wide, fat ones. Maybe a thin set of red pinstripes down the length of the wagon. A couple of old, cool looking suitcases up on the roof rack 😎. Also place 2 peace sign decals on it, at the back corner of the rear side windows ✌️😆🙄😳🤣😂
cool air system is usefull inside theses old car of the seventies
When i was early 20 i bought 1978 Ford staion wagon with the 400 v8 love that car
Sounds pretty good for having sat so long. Another classic saved!!! Very 😎!!!
You guy's & gal's..... Are the best....Love every vidio. Lance ordered the Tee shirt as you said to me. Thank You all...🇺🇸
I do like the shop. I like the actual recovery videos just as much!👍 the neon open sign is cool, it would be cooler if it was on.I love the commercials but I’m almost 60.😁
The added in Ford commercial was awesome..😎👍.. keep up the good work y'all stay safe good job!✝️
Fantastic Saturday evening viewing. Thanks again team :)
We had one just like this one when I was a kid, only, ours had a 351 Cleveland. Same dark green interior and everything.
"It doesn't sound like it's got a lot of compression but we're going to check the cylinders while we have the plugs out." LOL
You check for compression with the plugs out … 😕
@@RESTORED-HOPE True. I knew it didn't have plugs in it as soon as you spun it over but to say it sounds low on compression was pretty funny. ;-)
When I was 10, 1972 we bought the Stones apple orchard Ford wagon exactly like this. We called it the apple wagon!!!!!
That's Campbell's Vacuum Soup. Just evacuate and serve. The fun part is going to be sealing up the vacuum leaks - especially the intake manifold. I did a '72 back in '81. 9 passenger. Thing wagged like a dog going down the highway. Used it a few times, just by using nylon screening and magnets, as a refuge for when it rained (we'd come in from the tents if it got too bad). It's running on gas - and the Vacuum Monster has raised its' ugly head.
Well - you got it running. Someone will want to chase through the carb & vacuum systems (and put some advance on that HEI distributor through vacuum). Good work.
