Hi Paul and thanks. I am very interested. Only bad thing is that shipping is going to be $$$$. There is currently a 74' Country Squire on e-bay right now for $890, in fair shape, but I checked shipping and its going to cost $1000.

It is in California as well.
If he is reasonable, I may be able to justify shipping costs. Yes, I would appreciate that info on those. Perhaps he knows of a low cost shipping.
My great aunt used to have a 1978 Country Squire (last year of the huge body style) that she bought brand new. She sold it in 1995- it was still like new. At the time however, I really was not into those cars. Then, in 2001, a local 76' CS wagon became available at a local Ford dealership for $900. It was in excellent shape. I passed on it, because I was out of room. Still strapped for space. If I were to buy another, either my Mercedes or Grand Ville would have to go.

And it would probably not be the Grand Ville.
Thanks again!
