I had a friend in Wyoming that had a Ford Ranch wagon that looked like that. It had a 460 out of a Merc and a C6. It had a nice paint job and decent wheels but needed interior done throughout. He got into a pinch for money and sold it for $5000 cash.

I had one identical to this a few years later. Original 292 V8 about 60K on it. I got it to a nice reliable driver condition needing paint and the interior redone then sold it to buy a sailboat. The guy was a friend of a friend and he finished it and kept it for a long time. Sold about 10 years ago to help finance a business start up. I still have the sailboat.

Keep kicking myself for selling the Ranch Wagon.

I got what it was worth at the time in the early 80's but I am sure it's worth 5 or 6 times that now. It was mint, rust free, with a 351C, and a nicely redone interior. All still as nice today as the day I sold it. But at least it is still in the family and I get to drive it now and again.

Bought a used 2008 Evo X with 2000 miles in 2009. Boot camp money. They always tell you don't spend your boot camp money on a car...

Killed it in early 2012

Only had 22000 miles and brand new tires. I miss it so much. But if I didn't, I wouldn't be riding, and I wouldn't be driving cool old cars.
