    I've read this forum over the past year and it seems to be a great group of people with a wealth of information. I thought I would post a few pics of my 1965 Ford Ranch Wagon. I found it in Arizona about a year and a half ago. It had been sitting since 1992 and although there was absolutely no rust, everything else was ruined by the sun. It's an AC car with a 352 V8. With the exception of the wheels and custom interior, it's all stock and numbers matching. I need a manual crank tailgate window regulator, I thought maybe y'all on this forum might be a help in locating one of these. Any information would be greatly appreciated! I'm excited to join the group!

    :Welcome: aboard!
    That's a sweet lookin' Ranch wagon. The Torque Thrusts give it a nice vintage period correct look. :thumbs2: Thanks for sharing the pics...I hope you're able to find what you're looking for.
    :cheers:

    Welcome bryant214! That is a nice looking '65. I narrowly missed out on a black one last fall the end result was me buying a Fairlane. I am very envious! :cheers:

    That turned out nice!(y)
    The only thing as good as a shiny 390 is a cool 352.

    Welcome Bryant,

    That is a lovely wagon mate, and a very nice job you did on it!

    Best of luck in your parts search, if you happen to find some 66 Fairlane Wagon parts, please feel free to share the who and where if at all possible.

    Mine is complete and on the road with no major rust either, but the 'disposable' and perishable bits are a little tired, particularly window rubbers. In time, I'd like to do some work, so I'm trying to do some research now.

    Again, welcome.

    cheers
