    Welcome aboard. Nice choice of wagons to find. Saw this one on Craigslist, but its not mine and its no where near me.
    I think it'll buff out. Well maybe not, but looks fairly solid in the quarters.

    I have talked to the guy who owns this. No hood, windshield, motor, trans, rusted hole through firewall, and holes in rear floor. probably more. He wants $3200. too much to fix

    Welcome to the forum John. You picked a hard one there. Sounds like you may want to do some modding on it, but finding a solid '60 Ranch might be difficult - and a bit costly. Personally, I love the styling of the big 60 Fords, and they really look cool modded up.

    Because of the difficulty in finding a suitable '60, do you have a second choice? 2-door Falcons are nice, and maybe a bit more plentiful. I've seen some 2-door '58 Chevys out there. Maybe a '61 Ford, which might be a bit easier to find, but maybe not quite as unique.

    Whatever you're doing, keep us updated....

    I had the good fortune to see Dave Harkey's '60 Country Squire (the car in the article) 'in the flesh' at Fabulous Fords Forever. Truly a beautiful wagon......

    Even had a photo of it as my computer wallpaper for a while......
