You have your hands full with this project. Its amazing at just how much this car looks like a 1961 Thunderbird. Same door handles, tail lights, the engine compartment is identical, etc. Good luck.
I'm coveting your find. I love the early 60s Ford wagons. My first car in the 70s was a 63 Country Squire that my Aunt special ordered from Ford. Blue with blue interior, XL package car. Bucket seats, console shift, AC and a Thunderbird 390. Sold it in 77 for 350 bucks. Oh the pain. Still love the old Galaxies.
Well that is one option. I just think it is so cool , but to quote my wife from earlier this morning “Just sell the damn thing!” I am located near Winnipeg Canada.
Good score !

Thanks. Really like the 61’s.
This wagon is begging to be restored to it's original glory. Everything is original and it has no rust. This would be a beautiful wagon restored.

Ohhh, yeah, I feel your pain. The XL package is especially nice
I sold a 61 country squire two years ago glad I got rid of it fought me for five years
Old cars are definitely a Love - Hate relationship. Was it a driver? Restoration? Hot Rod Wagon? Drag Car, or???
@@Rodneys_Rods it was in storage for 45 years nic interior no rust,had to redo the front seat and all the mechanical 292 auto very poor ford design
Restore, but add power. And surf boards...
Yeah, that sounds good.
Sell it to me ! Cool ride
