1968 Ford Country Squire

No Reserve: 1968 Ford LTD Country Squire 390 Wagon for sale on BaT Auctions - ending February 1 (Lot #64,762) | Bring a Trailer

Nice!

 

Such a great combo! Looks absolutely gorgeous.

 

These look great from the outside, but the instrument panel and steering wheel are horrible........

 

Agreed that most of the ‘68’s I’ve seen, including my own the dash and steering wheel tend to warp and have cracks. The center hub of the wheel is huge and that plastic does funny things. Never really saw a bad ‘67 wheel. The dash also has a funny shape with its ovoid original shape, it also has some interesting warpage issues. This one on BAT is actually pretty good.

 

SOLD FOR $41,000 ON 2/1/22

 

Wow. That’s a pretty penny. Nice car though.

 

$41000? That's incredible. I was very interested in it as it was incredibly gorgeous, but there's one too many zeros on there for me!!

 

Well $4,100 would have been an absolute steal, but I think if the 4 were a 2, that would have been kinda in line. I don’t know how these cars have gotten so wild. But, there you have it.

 

Prices for everything seem to have gotten wild.

 

I was thinking the VERY same thing ! Like that Beautiful 70 Squire that went for 45K a couple months back !

 

Sadly it affects the prices for everything, even the rusted out buckets. Which makes it increasingly hard for a younger person who is into old cars to own one.

 

I just paid $17 bucks for a plain pizza tonight…weren’t they like $12 bucks as far back as I can remember?

 

Exactly!
