    That is one beautiful wagon you have there! Just fantastic! Love the colour scheme, too. That red sets off the wood grain beautifully, and that saddle interior is the perfect compliment to tie the two together. Be sure to post pictures of her as you go along. Better yet, be sure to start a thread in the projects section.

    I think the factory 10 passenger is the only way to go. What a bonus to have your car already come with that option!

    What is your engine/trans combo? I only have the 390 2bbl with the MX cruise-o-matic transmission and AC.

    One thing I was glad I did was upgrade the car with a factory AM FM radio which is hard to find since it is specific for the 67 wagon. I sent the radio out for rebuild and had an IPOD jack installed too.

    The adjustable roof rack is quite a rare option from what I have been told from the 1967 ford registry. Adjustable rack parts are almost impossible to find. I had to make new rubber gaskets for the 5 strips that run the length of the roof since my originals disintegrated and there are absolutely no aftermarket options available.

    Love your car! More pics please of the engine and interior! Only if you want to...

    Dr B, I have the Z code 390 with C6 Auto w/ factory AC. The car has the convenience control panel for the power windows and vacuum locks.

    I actually recently talked to a guy out of Arizona. The 8 track doctor? Im honestly considering doing that right now so I can enjoy the music thru the factory head unit. I haven't dug to far into the shop manual on the stereo so far, but I will obviously be replacing all of the stock speakers in the car with something that will fit behind the stock grilles.

    The lighting in the garage is terrible as far as pictures go. I will do what I can.

    Cruise on!

    I also recently purchased 12 rolls of the original Ford woodgrain for $275! Crazy huh?
