    Just came across this site while looking for parts. My wife and I recently purchased a 65 Ford Country Sedan. We are the 3rd owners of this beast.
    She decided we needed a new hot rod for the power tour and also decided it needed to be a wagon. So together were fixing her up.
    Here is a pic of it currently, were doing disc brake swap this week.

    NICE! Don't see many 65-67 Fords in black. Wish I could say I'd see you around car show/cruises around the St Louis area, but I'm moving to FL early in 2013.

    Post how the brake conversion goes. It's something I've been thinking about for my 66, although I'm used to the manual drums and don't mind them in an oddly retro way.

    Thanks, its a neat car, I also own a 63 Falcon street/strip car, very fun to drive. Sometimes though its nice to jump in the wagon and just cruise along though. Much more comfortable ride without doubt.
