Vehicle Description
Beautifully built 1951 Ford Country Squire woody wagon resto-mod!
This 1951 Ford Country Squire wagon started life as a rust free
Florida car that was in very nice original condition when it was
found in 2000. The owner responsible for the finished product had
been looking for a solid Woody to build once he retired. He found
this car in a barn in Gainesville, Florida where it had been stored
by the previous owner for over 23 years! I have included some of
the photos of the car the day he purchased it and pulled it out of
the building. It would serve as a great foundation to start the
build with! It took 2 years to finish the car to it's current
state. We have owned the car for several years as it has been on
display in our museum. It is always one of the favorites of the
visitors who see it. The car features a total no expense spared
frame off restoration to the original body and chassis. The wood
was restored using new maple and mahogany veneer from Honduras and
21 coats of clear. The car received Jaguar Carnival Red paint. It
is powered by a GM 350 Ram-Jet 355hp crate motor with Sanderson
cast aluminum headers, 2 1/2' stainless steel exhaust with
stainless Magna-Flow mufflers. It uses a GM 700R4 automatic
transmission, Air Ride Technology front and rear air bag
suspension, new Mustang II front suspension, anti sway bar, rack
and pinion power steering, power front and reardisc brakes, a Ford
9' rear end with anti sway bar. It rides on factory style steel
wheels with factory hubcaps and trim rings. The interior features
beautiful Magnolia leather with red Wilton carpeting, power front
windows, wood grain dash, restored original gauges that were
converted for use with the new 12 volt system and a Vintage
Generation II air conditioning system. It was featured on the cover
and in an article in the August 2003 edition of Woodie Times
magazine. It is just an absolutely beautiful and head turning
example of the last of the true woodies! A proud center piece to
add to any
