1965 Ford Ranch Wagon, Station Wagon

Description for Ford Galaxie 1965

Up for auction is our 1965 Ford Ranch Wagon. The Ranch Wagon is the base form of the Country Squire and Country Sedan station wagon. I originally built this car as my daughter's first car, he picked it out and drove it while she had her permit (with mom or dad), ut the car is really large and she's a bit intimidated by driving it. Although she loves the car and we get lots of waves, humbs up and comments, he reality is it's more car than she can handle right now. So it's up for auction. I have to say, his thing is really cool and there aren't many station wagons on the road any more.
I acquired the car from a seller in Arizona after it had been sitting for about 25 years. What attracted me to the car was no rust, he body and frame only had some surface rust and all the body panels are original to the car. The interior on the other hand was ruined, o it's all been replaced. Here's a list of what was done to the car.

I'm sure there's more but you get the point, ou can drive the car anywhere (if you can afford the fuel). It runs, rives, hifts, tops very nicely and SAFELY. It is by no means a hot rod but it sounds great with the new exhaust. Remember, built this car for my daughter. All the manual window work (doesn't have power windows) and the glass is all good. This car is an original AC car, have the compressor and it goes with the car, never did fix/hook it up during the restoration. Everything works as it should except the fan switch inside the car, ometimes you have to wiggle the switch to get the fan to turn on. It also needs a dome light lens, he dome light works, ust needs the lens. I have the original wheels, ubcaps and steering wheel (pretty rough) and they go with the car. Drive something cooler than a Mustang or Camaro, ost of these wagons ended up in the crusher and are pretty rare.
