Description of 1968 Other Makes FORD COUNTRY SEDAN |
FANTASTIC ORIGINAL AND RARE 1968 FORD COUNTRY SEDAN. LOW STARTING BID AND NO RESERVE! HISTORY: ALWAYS A NEW MEXICO CAR. THE FIRST OWNER WAS AN ECCENTRIC PHYSICIST WHO WORKED AT THE SANDIA NATIONAL LABORATORIES HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE. HE HAD VINYL FLAPS MADE WHICH HE WOULD ATTACH OVER EACH WHEEL ARCH WITH SNAPS EVERY TIME HE PARKED THE CAR TO PROTECT THE TIRES FROM THE SUN! 47 YEARS LATER, HESE FLAPS ARE STILL WITH THE CAR! OWNERSHIP THEN PASSED TO A NEW MEXICO DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY, HE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 32 YEARS BUT PUT IT INTO STORAGE IN 2000 WHILE SHE TRAVELLED AND LIVED IN EUROPE. CONDITION AND AMENITIES: THE CAR IS ABSOLUTELY AND TOTALLY UNRUSTED. THE ORIGINAL 390 V-8 RUNS SMOOTH AND QUIET WITH PLENTY OF POWER AND TORQUE TO MAKE THIS BIG CAR GET UP AND MOVE. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FAULTLESSLY. THE ENTIRE CAR IS LARGELY ORIGINAL. CARPETS AND DRIVER'S SEAT SHOW WEAR AND SOME OF THE THREADS IN THE HEADLINER SEAMS HAVE GIVEN UP BUT THE RED(!) HEADLINER PANELS THEMSELVES ARE GOOD AND COULD BE RE-STITCHED. THE CAR IS FITTED WITH...POWER STEERING, OWER BRAKES, ACTORY AC, RUISE CONTROL, RAILER HITCH, EAR AIR SHOCKS, ND OF COURSE IT HAS THE INCREDIBLE TWO-WAYREAR DOOR! THE ORIGINAL CHROME LUGGAGE RACK IS MINT AND LIKE NEW. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF MINOR TRIM PIECES AT THE FRONT THAT HAVE GONE MISSING. MOST EVERYTHING WORKS ON THE CAR INCLUDING, UT NOT LIMITED TO, HE ORIGINAL RADIO, UEL GAUGE, URN SIGNALS, IGHTS, TC, TC. THIS COULD MAKE A WONDERFUL "DRIVER" AS IT IS OR AS A CANDIDATE FOR A PERFECT AND EASY RESTORATION. I CAN ARRANGE SHIPPING FOR THIS CAR ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET. COMES WITH A CLEAN/CLEAR NEW MEXICO TITLE. HERE'S MY NUMBER IF YOU WANNA TALK.... 505-242-6624 |
