[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Sans Serif]Hi, I have a '77 Country Squire, red on red, that I bought in college for $150, not running. It was a bad fuel pump. I have been driving Aunt Edna for three years and have been slowly restoring her to her natural new car look in '77. A year and a half ago, the head gasket blew. I had a local repair shop replace the gasket. Sadly, they where too stupid to replace it right. They put the gasket the wrong way, this made the engine over heat and crack the head. They replaced the head, but ever since, the wagon has never been right. I had my best friend come down a few weeks ago when I graduated college to pick up Aunt Edna. Early Sat morning, he rolled his 2001 F-250 trailer towing my wagon. Thank God, my best friend is just fine, walked away with some scratches. The wagon and trailer did NOT roll. But the wagon did go for a ride of its life. It slid between the wheel housings on the trailer, crushing the front and rear driver side doors, the right qrt. panel is pushed in, and all my gear inside that was from college, crushed the drivers rear cargo panel and the "D" pillar panels. Also the spare tire on the trailer pushed the front bumper up, making the brakets that hold the bumper to the frame to bend up. So I am looking for clean solid drivers front and rear doors for the Country Squire model (has to have the nods to clip the CS body side moldings), left inside cargo area panel with storage compartment, both right and left inner "D" pillar covers, and two front bumper brakets. I got SOME money from the insurance company but not enough. I was told since its a station wagon, the value is limited. I'm asking for help from anyone. If they know of a yard or great parts car with solid parts. Here in IL everything of this year vintage range is gone...... Thank you, Jonathan[/FONT]
The insurance wouldn't give you enough... Thank your stars you didn't own an SUV. http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2008/05/19/suv-trade.html Will you have to get your frame checked? Check this site: http://www.unclehenrys.com/ and this: http://www.oldstationwagonsforsale.com/
