1983 Ford Country Squire - $1300 - NY

Thoughts? I read the 1983 models were the first to have fuel injection, And this does have a towing hitch but I don't know if it has a towing package or if that was added later. No pics of the underbody though.

I did think of buying this one, But I don't really need it.

This seat looks like a lollipop.

 

Something about that interior I just don't like. LOL.

Yeah, I do think that '83 was the first year for FI on these.

 

Am i wrong or is the door jamb a different color than the outside color????
Must be my painters eye.....

 

DAT interior! lol

 

I believe that it is a different color... this is a car of many colors. lol.

 

Here's another 1983 Country Squire priced at twice the price, but looks to be more than twice the car!

I believe '83 was the first year for EFI, but I would hold out for a '85 or newer model with the port fuel injection. I had a '84 Colony Park with the regular EFI, and I got an electrical short under the hood and the wagon burned up on me. I can't prove t, but I believe it had something to do with the EFI.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a '83 or '84......

 

Yeah, I would much rather have the '83 above.

Wow, engine fire! Definitely a sad thing to happen! Yes I have read and heard before that the '83-84 fuel injection systems were troublesome on those cars and heard that the '85+ is the way to go.

 

These cars saw CFI fuel injection in 1980, on 302 engines. 351W engines had a carb. Ford went SEFI in 1986. However, all Canadian models were carb till late 1985-early 1986.
