Starting a '76 Country Squire
My friend Luke and I trying to start and idle a 1976 Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon.
It sat in the woods only occasionally being started for about 5-6 years.
I will try to answer comments as best that I can, but keep in mind I am not the 'car guy'. So the answers may take awhile.
Country Squire Tribute
This is my personal tribute to a great singer and an American legend, the Ford LTD Country Squire. You know when someone or something of our culture has truly made it when its on South Park or The Simpsons.
I found this song by accident on I Tunes. I have never heard of Thom Shepard till now. I recommend his other songs, they are really well done. He also wrote Riding with Private Malone, that singer David Ball came out with in 2000-2001ish.
Most of the pictures where pulled off http://www.imcdb.org/search.php
however, there are a few from my personal collection of CS wagons. The second before the last, is when my red '77 CS made its day view late October 2005. You can hardly see it but its back there.
It's sad to see great motor cars like these slowly be forgotten. Like the others in its day,Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, Chevrolet Kingswood Estate, and many others, may we never forget what these cars did for the American family.

1963 Ford Galaxie Country Squire Wagon STK # 1088
Did the original owner want to tow but need to haul a family or did he have a hot rod and did not want to give up the power and muscle for the family? Whoever he is, his order was cast for this rare 1963 Ford Galaxie Country Squire because it is a factory big block car with a 4 speed manual transmission. The original 390ci expired and the motor was replace with a 428ci V8 Cobra Jet motor attached to the original 4 speed manual. Painted the original Corinthian White with wood exterior with light beige D/L and pearl beige interior. Originally built and sold out of Ford's L.A. assembly line and district sales office. The door tag confirms this Country Squires rarity with an axle code of 5 for a 3.50:1 rear gear and trans code of 5 for a 4 speed manual transmission. The original owner obviously wanted the meanest wagon on the block able to destroy unassuming muscle cars in California that would never imagine what was packaged next to them or tow the camper to the country for a nice weekend. Either way this is a special car with a unique order combination seldom found today.

71 Ford Country Sedan Runs & Drives - $1,450
Remember when mom used to take you kids and your bikes everywhere in the station wagon?? Well, daddy got ahold of this one and put lake pipes on it! This 1971 Ford Galaxy 500 Country Sedan Station Wagon survivor has a 429 under the hood. Yes, we know there was an error in the size of the motor in the video. But getting past that, this car starts right up every time. The seats and vast majority of the interior are good. Admittedly it can use some fixing up, but the heat works fine and its got A/C, nice wheels, and dual Exhaust. There is a new alternator, a new regulator, new brakes--front hub out, new starter relay, new Monroe shocks (heavy duty on front--heavy duty air on back), a new ignition switch and of course the Lake pipes. This is a good running, driving car that can be a daily driver while you restore it.

FORD We are family
A parade of forgotten Ford land barges from the late 60's and 70's. Many of us fondly remember climbing into a huge Country Squire, LTD, or spacious midsize Thunderbird for the family road trip. These 2.5 ton battle wagons didnt fold up like tin foil when hit, like a new Accord or bounce you to death like a new front wheel drive "family sedan". Most are now gone, but not forgotten, we all remember the rumble of their 460 V-8 powerplants that could acually tow a travel trailer.
1977 Ford LTD Country Squire drive
I shot a small video in March driving the wagon around Macomb Ill, where I used to attend college at. I did some repair work to the engine to get her running better but she still needs the engine rebuilt. At times you can see the camera vibrate, this is due to a bad miss in the engine.
