Selling my 57 Country Sedan Wagon.
Red and white with a 312/245hp engine 3 speed standard with overdrive.
Completely restored everything new or rebuilt. Price is $39,900
For a complete rundown of the restoration go to Project Builds on the Forum and look for the thread "Rocker Panel Replacement And Beyond" .
Car was done in 2013 so that thread on the restoration will be a few pages in. It has probably gone 2000 miles since completion. It lives in a heated , air conditioned garage and looks as fresh as when it was completed.
Just took it for a 100 plus mile ride this past week .
The car is a pleasure to drive and is fully detailed with the undercarriage as clean as the topsides .
The headliner was replaced but I am not happy with the job so that and the fact that it could probably use a front end alignment are the only two things I can think of that may need attention.
Comes with American Racing Wheels with tires and the original steel wheels with hub caps and white walls that it is currently wearing.
Contact me for more pictures or info through the forum .

Missed your rebuild trail. Just read thru complete process, had I read it before, would have saved me some pain with mine. Did a amazing job, costs of doing what you did then and now at least, probably double. My thinking is a very reasonably priced.
Sure is a beautiful car.
please post a wider shot of the rear with the tailgate closed, so we can see the paint dividers in action! nice wagon.
Thanks for the compliments , yes it is a nice car , drives well and is a pleasure to look at. I have mixed feelings about selling it but I love a project and I am out of room .
As for cost to reproduce paint is the scariest part of that equation . This car has an exceptional paint job that cost a lot 13 or so years ago I guarantee that cost has doubled for sure .
Next step will most likely be Bring A Trailer , they will most likely want it as a no reserve auction , I've done those before and made out well with one exception .
This car has a ton of detail so it presents well in pictures but still it's a hell of a crap shoot , I may have to study on that for a few days !
I'll get some tailgate pictures for you Abe.
Please post the link if it goes on BAT. Thanks
