Up for sale is my Extremely Rare 1960 Edsel Villager 6 passenger wagon. One of 216 ever produced! I had big plans to restore this very rare classic wagon but unfortunately have run out of time and money. This wagon is 100% complete and has been completely stripped down to bare metal in order to send over to paint. The wagon has a lot rust, but I have most of all the extra parts to fix majority of the panels, including an entire spare ROOF, Villager tailgate, 3 back windows, and spare tail lights, grill, and even spare glass and trim. I have most everything needed to completely redo the wagon the right way. These are the rarest of all wagons, and when finished are an amazing looking wagon. These are EXTREMELY RARE

The car runs but I have only had it running long enough to pull in and out of the garage, it will need to be trailered home along with all the spare parts. it still has the original Ford 352 with 4 Barrel carb...power steering and brakes. All new brakes front and back. The Edsel also has the extremely rare spinner hubcaps and hooded driver mirror. The interior is also 100% complete, with a second set of spare immaculate door panels. The front seats are out of a later 60's Galaxie but also have the original front seats with the Edsel "E" embossed to match the rear. The interior will need to be redone as well, but it is 100% complete! The wagon has good solid floors but like stated above, does have rust issues but i have added pictures below of all the temporary fiber glass repaired spots as well as all the extra parts to fix it right. You are welcome to come and see the car for yourself...bare metal hides nothing!

When I purchased the car it came with a second 1960 Villager parts car, it was fire bombed in the LA riots so it was your basic shell. I was able to remove a ton of extra parts from the car, like an extra front complete grill, tailgate, ALL the stainless trim and badges, complete rear quarter panel and tail light sections various misc items. You are getting it all, including a second 352 engine core. You will have everything needed to fully restore this rare wagon. Make me a fair offer and it can be yours. Thanks

GLASS:

The glass is all there, the rear quarter windows are in perfect condition, as well as the front windshield. The side door glass is all there but some will need replacing due to small cracks. I have spare glass for you to make patterns

MOTOR

Original Ford 352 FE Motor with 4 Barrel Carb. I have not had a chance to drive it around but it does move on its own accord and seems to be gone through to be made road worthy

Transmission:

Original Automatic tranny, just like the motor it seems to be operational but will most likely need to be gone through in order for it to be a daily driver...

Wheels and Tires:

The wagon sits on its original Bi Ply white wall tires with the original rims which have the very rare Spinner Edsel caps, those alone are worth some money! I also have a spare of regular Edsel dog dish caps in case you want to preserve the Spinners

Body & Paint

The wagon was originally Seafoam green color, and it had the original paint when I got it, along with all the stainless trim. Car was and still is 100% complete and very straight. The body does suffer from rust issues that were very typical in this model year. Rust in some of the rain gutters, rear tailgate area and rear lift gate. There is also some rust in the front hood and front fenders. I have collected all the parts to fix most of the rust issues. I have a spare roof, tailgate, glass door, front fender, hood, and recently replaced all four doors with RUST FREE Arizona doors. I used fiber glass to temporarily repair some of the rust holes as I was planning on driving it in bare metal till I could afford to paint it. I also treated all the rusty areas so to neutralize the rust before applying the fiber glass

Interior:

The interior is all there and will need to be redone. I have the original front seat as well as the newer seat in the front. I also have a complete set of spare original door panels that are in amazing shape.

If you are reading this ad its because you know how rare these wagons are, I wish I could keep it and finish it but I just cannot. The wagon is in bare metal so you are welcome to come see it before you buy it as there is nothing to hide...you can call me if you have any questions or would like to discuss an offer or TRADE.... 949-633-6251

The pictures below show the car as I got it about a year ago...its shows the gradual progression of the deconstruction, down to bare metal. The car currently is in BARE METAL like the last pictures below.

The car has a clear CA title and has a non op on it.

$3950 FIRM...My loss your gain

 

Yes this 60 Edsel Wagon use to be mine. the picture on the trailer is what it looked like when I sold it to the man in Oceanside. Why do people take a complete car and rip it down to do a "ground up" restoration then give up? They take a running car and turn it into a 1 to 1 scale model kit with no instructions. Then they get upset when they can't get their money back

 

Beautiful, rare, and special wagon. Would love to wake up Christmas day and find this under the tree!

 

If I had the talent to do the work, this would be a great project......

I absolutely love the look of the '60 Ford / Edsel wagon - especially the wagon greenhouse area and the rear liftgate. Recall the '62 T-Bird with the Olds Vista-Cruiser roof section? THIS is the roof section that the T-Bird should have had on it.

What would I do with this one?
- Turn it into a real sharp resto-mod. Junk the 352 and install a dual overhead cam V8 out of a Lincoln MkVIII or Aviator, disc brakes all around, interior with all the modern stuff, maybe drop in a modern instrument panel as well. On the outside, I would de-chrome the grill, painting it either body color or an accent color. Probably radius out those rear wheel openings as well.

 

Pretty cool car! This one will take a pro to restore right! Will theRev be making a trip down to CA for this one?? :confused:
