THIS 1969 COUNTRY SQUIRE IS A ONE YEAR ONLY BODYSTYLE AND IS TRULY THE END OF A ERA. WHAT SCREAMS 60’S AND 70’S MORE THEN A VINTAGE WOOD PANEL FULLSIZE WAGON WITH FLIP UP REAR PASSENGER SEATS? THIS KILLER 69 WAGON HAS THAT TRUE GRISWOLD FAMILY WAGON LOOK THAT GRABS FOR ATTENTION THEN ANY OTHER CLASSIC OR MUSCLE CAR WE HAVE OWNED. IT’S A GUARANTEE YOU CAN GO TO ANY CLASSIC CAR MEET, AUCTION OR CAR SHOW AND THIS WOULD STAND ALONE. AT ALL THE CAR SHOWS I ATTEND AND ALL THE CLASSIC CAR AUCTIONS THE ONES THAT I SEARCH OUT FIRST AND ALWAYS SPEND MORE TIME ON ARE THE ORIGINALS. EVERYBODY'S OPINION IS DIFFERENT, BUT TO ME A TRUE ORIGINAL SURVIVOR IS ONE THAT HAS NOT BEEN REPAINTED AND ALL LEVELS OF CARS HAVE BEEN CALLED ORIGINAL SURVIVORS, BUT THIS IS HANDS DOWN ONE THE NICEST AND MOST FACTORY LEFT SURVIVOR WE HAVE NOT ONLY OWNE, BUT SEEN AT ANY SHOW OR AUCTION. FOR WHAT EVER REASON I LOVE THAT DISTINCT LOOK LACQUER PAINT HAS AND FLAWS FROM USE OR NOT I ALWAYS PREFER THAT LOOK AND LEVEL OF CAR OVER ANYTHING ELSE NOW DAYS. THERE IS JUST SOMETHING TO ME THAT IS INCREDIBLE ABOUT A MECHANICAL ITEM THAT IS PURPOSE BUILT TO BE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS, BE ON ROADS AND EXPOSED TO DIFFERENT CLIMATES AND ELEMENTS AND STILL MAKE IT 30, 40 OR 50+ YEARS IN ORIGINAL PAINT. TO ME IT ALMOST MAKES A HERO OUT OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE CAR WHEN I SEE A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE LOOK THIS INCREDIBLE. WITH NOT ONE ALTERED ITEM, HAS NEAR MINT INTERIOR AND GORGEOUS GLOSSY ORIGINAL PAINT AFTER ALL THAT TIME, WEATHER, EXPERIENCES AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS. JUST FOR ONE SECOND THINK ABOUT 49 YEARS AGO AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE WORLD, THE CHANGES, THE GROWTH AND ABOUT WHERE YOU WERE AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE TO TRULY APPRECIATE THE CHOICES AND CARE THE ORIGINAL OWNER TOOK TO PRESERVE THIS CAR THAT AT THE TIME WAS JUST A LATE MODEL FAMILY CAR THAT WAS BUILT AND BOUGHT TO BE USED AND ABUSED. IV HAD THE LUCK AND PLEASURE OF HAVING THIS IN MY LINE UP AS I HAVE TRULY FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THIS CAR BEFORE I EVEN HAD THE KEYS, BUT AS THE BUSINESS I'M IN I JUST CAN'T KEEP ALL OF THEM OR THERE WOULD BE NO BUSINESS, SO WHILE I HELD HER TIGHT, DROVE AND ENJOYED HER I WAS JUST A CARE TAKER AND IT'S TIME FOR HER TO GO TO THE TRUE SECOND OWNER.
BODY-THIS 1969 FORD COUNTRY SQUIRE IS IN 100% ALL ORIGINAL PAINT AND IS HAS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL PANELS AND SHEET METAL, ORIGINAL CHROME, GLASS, AND TRIM PIECES. THE INCREDIBLE SURVIVOR CONDITION OF THIS WAGON TRULY COMMUNICATES THE LOVE AND CARE IT HAS RECEIVED ALL OF ITS LIFE BY ITS ONE LOVING NORTHWEST OWNER. THE PAINT IS STUNNING, AND THE WOOD PANELING IS IN AMAZING CONDITION AND REALLY GIVES THIS WAGON THAT COOL, 60’S OLD SCHOOL LOOK THAT YOU JUST DON’T SEE ON THE ROAD THESE DAYS. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW VERY MINOR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE BODY OF THIS CAR, WHICH IS UNBELIEVABLE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THIS CAR IS 49 YEARS OLD! IT COMES IN THIS NICE METALLIC LIME GOLDLACQUERPAINT AND IS 100% ORIGINAL WITH ALL PANELS AND SHEET METAL IN ORIGINAL AND UNALTERED. IT HAS BEEN HERE IN SEATTLE WA, ITS ENTIRELIFE AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED, SO IT HAS AN INCREDIBLE AND HIGH GLOSS FACTORY FINISH. THE METALLIC GREEN PAINT HAS THAT PROPER ORIGINAL LACQUERSHINE THAT NO MODERN REPAINT OR RESTORATION CAN REPLICATE. TRULY NEARLY FLAWLESS SURVIVORBODY WITH VERY MINOR WEAR. ALL THE CHROME IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH A NICE DEEP MIRROR REFLECTION, EXCEPT THE REAR BUMPER THAT HAS SOME AGING AND CHIPPING IN THE CHROME, AND A SMALL DENT IN THE CORNER OF THE BUMPER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE FRONT GRILLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, ALONG WITH THE HEADLIGHT SURROUNDS. THE MIRRORS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION, AND THE LIGHT LENSES ARE ALL FREE OF SUN FADING AND FULL OF BRIGHT ORIGINAL COLORS WITH NO CRACKS OR CONDENSATION. AL LIGHTS WORK AS THEY SHOULD ALONG WITH THOSE AWESOME AND UN-MISTAKABLEFLIP UP HEADLIGHTS THAT OPEN AND CLOSE SMOOTHLYAND QUICK. THE DOOR FELTS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE FOR THEIR AGE BUT ARE STARTING TO DRY AND CRACK VERY SLIGHTLY. THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CAR THERE ARE ONLY VERY MINOR, HARDLY NOTICEABLESIGNS OF WEAR AND AGE. YOU WILL FIND SOME SMALL STONE CHIPS IN THE TYPICAL SUSCEPTIBLEAREAS SUCH AS THE FRONT FACIA OF THE HOOD AND THE ROCKERS BEHIND THE WHEELS AND TIRES, AS WELL AS SOME VERY SLIGHT ENTRY WEAR ON THE DOOR EDGES, AND SOME MINOR SCRATCHING IN THE WOOD PANELING, PARTICULARLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE SURROUNDING TRIM PORTION OF THE WOOD PANELING IS FADED IN A FEW PLACES ALL THE WAY AROUND THE CAR, BUT IN NO WAY DIMINISHES THE COOL, 60’S ERA LOOK OF THE CAR. THERE IS A SMALL SOFT DING IN THE TOP NEAR THE DRIVERS SIDE, A SOFT CREASE LINE ON THE FRONT RIGHT OF THE HOOD WITH NO PAINT DAMAGE AND THERE IS SOME VERY MINOR BUBBLING AT THE VERY BOTTOM BEFORE AND AFTER THE DRIVER REAR TIRE AND IN THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE SPARE TIRE AREA ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE IS SOME WEAR AND CHIPPING OF THE WOOD PANELING NEAR THE KEY HOLE OF THE TAILGATE AND INSIDE THE GAS CAP DOOR, BUT THE ABSENCE OF TAPE LINES FURTHER PROVES THE CAR IS IN ITS ALL ORIGINAL PAINT WITH NO PANELS OR SHEET METAL REPLACED OR ALTERED. THIS TRULY IS JUST A GORGEOUS CLASSIC AND GUARANTEED TO BLOW YOU AWAY WITH ITS CRISP, WELL LOVED, CLEAN AND ORIGINAL CONDITIONAS IT IS NO SMALL FEAT TO MAKE IT ALMOST 50 YEARS AND HAVE A CAR LOOK THIS NICE!I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS FUN, COOL, VINTAGE RIDE. THIS 1969 WAGON IS IN INCREDIBLE AND HONEST CONDITION WITH VERY MINOR WEAR AND TEAR THAT SHOWS THE TRUE PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP AND LOVE IT RECEIVED!! YOU ARE GUARANTEEDTO GET COMPLIMENTS, SMILES, AND THUMBS UP EVERYWHERE YOU GO DRIVING THIS GREEN BEAUTY!
INTERIOR-THE HARD TO FIND AND INCREDIBLE SURVIVOR CONDITION OF THE EXTERIOR OF THIS WAGON CONTINUES THROUGH TO THE INTERIOR AND IS IN TRULY REMARKABLE ORIGINAL AND PRESERVED CONDITION! MY FAVORITE FEATURE OF THIS CAR IS THE AWESOME POPUP REAR SEATS IN THE VERY BACK! THE SEATS POP UP OUT OF THE STORAGE WELL AND FACE EACH OTHERWITH TWO ADDITIONAL BELTS FOR A TOTAL OF 8 BELTS IN THIS MASSIVE FAMILY HAULER! THE SEATS EASILY FOLD DOWN AND STOW IN THE LOCKING COMPARTMENT TO PROVIDE A HUGE CARGO SPACE BEHIND THE REAR BENCH SEAT. THE BENCH SEAT ALSO FOLDS DOWN NEATLY FOR EVEN MORE STORAGE IF YOU NEEDED TO SLEEP IN OR HAUL LARGER ITEMS. THIS PRISTINE INTERIOR HAS BEEN PET AND SMOKE FREE SINCE NEW AND IS IN UNBELIEVABLEALL FACTORY ORIGINAL1969 TIME CAPSULE SHAPE. THIS INTERIOR IS IN AMAZING CONDITION FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND BACK TO FRONT! ALL FOUR DOOR PANELS ARE IN INCREDIBLE, FLAWLESS CONDITION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A LITTLE CUT ON THE DRIVERS DOOR. THE DASH IS IN IMMACULATESHAPE WITH 100% TRUE COLOR AND THERE IS ONLY ONE SMALL CRACK NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDECENTER IN THE SPEAKER GRILL. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL CRACK IN THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW PILLAR TRIM. THE RESET OF THE DASH IS IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR GAUGES AND ALL THE ORIGINAL SWITCHES AND GAUGES ALL FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY! THE MANUAL WINDOWS ALL ROLL UP AND DOWN SMOOTHLY, INCLUDING THE FLY WINDOWS THAT STAY IN PLACE AND THE ELECTRIC REAR TAIL GATE WINDOW MOVES SMOOTH AND QUICKLY. THE HEADLINER IS IN PERFECT SHAPE WITH NO WATER DAMAGE, SAGE, HOLES OR FADING, AS ARE THE VISORS WHICH ARE SOLID AND STAY IN WHATEVER POSITION YOU LEAVE THEM IN. THE REAR BENCH SEAT IS IN FLAWLESS CONDITION, AND THE FRONT BENCH HAS ONLY SLIGHT WEAR WITH A COUPLE OF SMALL CUTS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND SOME MATERIAL BREAKDOWN TOWARDS THE VERY BACK OF THE SEAT WHERE THE BOTTOM CUSHION MEETS THE BACK CUSHION. THE CARPET SHOWS WELL FOR BEING NEARLY 50 YEARS OLD, BUT DOES HAVE SOME SUN FADING AND ENTRY WEAR, ESPECIALLY NEAR THE DOORS. THE BRAKE PAD AND GAS PEDAL RUBBER HAS LITTLE WEAR, FURTHER CONFIRMING THE LOW ORIGINAL MILES. THE REAR CARGO AREA IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH ONLY MINOR SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS AS YOU WOULD EXPECT ON THE SIDE PANELS ALONG WITH SOME SUN FADING. ALL FOUR DOORS POP OPEN WITH EASE AND CLOSE WITH THAT NICE VAULT-LIKE SOUND, FREE OF ANY SAG OR HINGE ISSUES AND ALL LOCKS WORK CORRECTLY. THE PAINT IN THE DOOR JAMBS IS STILL SHINY AND YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL DECALS AND VIN PLATE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THIS INTERIOR IS TRULY IN IMPRESSIVE AND VERY HARD TO FIND CONDITION ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING WHAT BIG FULLSIZE FAMILY HAULERS LIKE THIS WERE DESIGNED, BUILT AND BOUGHT FOR.
MECHANICAL-FOR KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF BEING 5 DECADESOLD THIS SURVIVOR IS BEYOND A CLEAN CAR ALONG THE UNDERSIDE AND UNDER THE HOOD THAT HAS JUST THAT RIGHT WORN, BUT ORIGINAL LOOK. IT CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH THE ICONIC 390 V8 POWER-PLANT, AUTO TRANSMISSION, POWER STEERING AND POWER DISC BRAKES. IT HAS NO MUD, GREASE OR GRIME BUILD UP AND IS VERY CLEAN AND DRY. THIS COUNTRY SQUIRE HAS A HONEST, ORIGINAL AND SANITARY ENGINE BAY. IT IS TRULY UN-TOUCHED AND 1969 ORIGINAL BESIDES YOU NORMAL MAINTENANCEITEMS. THE DRIVE-TRAIN HAS NEVER BEEN APART OR REMOVED. ON THIS ENTIRE CAR YOU HAVE TO MAKE SEVERAL PASSES AROUND IT AND OVER THE PHOTOS TO REALLY TAKE IN IT’S CONDITION AND HARD TO FIND ORIGINALITY. THE UNDER SIDE OF THE HOOD AND ALONG THE WHOLE ENGINE BAY IS NICE AND CLEAN, THE RUBBER COVERS AND GROMMETS FOR THE FLIP UP HEADLIGHTS AND ON THE INNER FENDERS COVERING THE A-ARMS ARE STILLIN PLACE AND USUALLY LONG DAMAGED OR REMOVED. THIS DELIVERS A VERY TIGHT ORIGINAL 1969 DRIVE AND FEEL WITH SOLID AND RESPONSIVE BRAKES AND STEERING WITH NO PLAY OR SLACK. DELIVERS A SQUEAK AND RATTLE FREE DRIVE THAT SOAKS UP THE BUMPS AND DELIVERS THE PROPER DRIVE AND FEEL OF WHAT IT DROVE LIKE IN THE 70’S. WITH THE ELECTRIC CHOKE CARBURETOR THE LEGENDARY 390 ALWAYS FIRES RIGHT UP, RUNS VERY SMOOTH AND QUIET WITH A VERY RESPONSIVE THROTTLE THAT PULLS THIS BIG CLASSIC WITH EAZ.

THIS BIG CLASSIC WILL SURPRISE YOU AND PUT YOU IN YOUR SEAT ONCE YOU PUT THE FOOT DOWN AND FACTORY POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING MAKE IT A VERY EASY TO MANEUVER CAR! EVERYTHING IS ORIGINAL UNDER THIS CAR AND IT HANDLES LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT A BIG CAR TO HANDLE SO, I WOULD MAYBE THROUGH SOME NEW SHOCKS ON DOWN THE ROAD, BUT IT IS NOT NEEDED. THIS 69 FORD IS A SUPER QUIET, SMOOTH, EASY AND FUN CRUISER THAT CAN BE DRIVEN ANY DISTANCE AND WITH ONLY 99K MILES IT IS A UNBELIEVABLE FIND AND HAS DECADES OF LIFE LEFT IN THIS DRIVETRAIN! THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS REGULARLYHAD IT SERVICED WITH ALL OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCEAT THE LOCAL FORD STORE SINCE NEW!

THIS COUNTRY SQUIRE IS A ONCE IN A LIFE TIME FIND WITH THIS LOW OF MILE, 1 OWNER AND GORGEOUS ORIGINAL BODY LIKE THIS! GOOD LUCK! HIGH BID WINS!!The older the car, the harder it is to define the condition of thevehicle. Most of our vehicles are specialty vehicles or are 15+ yearsold, and usually trucks. Because of this, it is very difficult to describe each vehicle to everyone’s satisfaction. Based on the bidder'spersonal experience, some bidders will be overly pleased with mydescription and pictures, and others may feel that I fell short. I postthese auctions based on how I want to see auctions when I’m buying, keeping in mind what I look for, and I try to put your eyes to what Ican see and touch. Please help me by asking all questions and letting me know if other pictures are wanted. If you do not see a pic or description of an item or a area on the truckplease do not assume anything and ask me about the specifics you’re aneeding or for more pics and I will post every question asked by members so all potential bidders can see. Every car is available for inspectionand I personally drive each vehicle before listing it and If anything does not work properly I will let you know. Of course, I amonly human, and these are mechanical creatures, and these are usedvehicles, so please keep this in mind when bidding.
