1977 Ford LTD Country Squire

Have we ever seen a 1970s wagon priced this high?

For that kind of money, they can just keep it in Italy. Geez!

 

Those wacky Italians....

 

I guess it's supply and demand. Probably the only one (or one of the very, very few) in Italy.

Also on Auto Scout 24 (European used car web site) for Euro 18,500 ($US 21,850). A bargain if you buy it in Italy!

Whoa!!! It is really nice though. Wonder if you get it discounted to a realistic price if you live in America? I’d say that thing worth close to $10,000

 

I wonder if it even fits into a shipping container? Width might be a problem, not length.

 

Totally incorrect wheel covers for the year. I'd want perfection for that price.

 

The interior can’t be original. too ugly. The green and white just do not work. Especially the white headliner

 

I don't think the interior looks right either. Too many different colors.

 

Here's what the interior should look like with the Landau Luxury Group. NOT multi colored.

 

Wood trim is a strange orangish color as well. Definitely a few things off on this wagon.

 

That's my biggest problem with it, too. I've seen a lot of 'restorations' where they do something (don't know what) to the rail trim that makes it turn out this way. Like in the brochure pic, it should be closer to beige than orange / yellow.

 

Those are original seats. That's how Ford did it is 77. Very comfortable but odd colour combinations I have a 77 colony park and same seat but in odd cream. It does have heavy duty suspension but I didn't notice a trailer hitch to see if it has trailer tow also.

 

Just checked no hitch, but check out the sellers other ads. I'm bringing my cars to Italy if that's what I can get for them there.

 

The surround rails have been painted -- not woodgrained. The interior woodgrain trim looks almost as if it's been shellacked. The color here seems off, too. And that radio is jarring, as well. The two toned seats may be correct, but I don't think the door trim panels are. Even if the car had been restored correctly, I'm not sure anyone would pay $26K for this year. The way this car's been done, I'd say the $10K someone suggested would be generous. Don't forget to add shipping costs from Italy.
