With much dilemma, I have decided to sell my wagon. I love my wagon, but I want a 69-70 Country Squire. I don't have the money or room for two wagons. 1 of 230 '76 Mercury Montego MX Villager wagons built with a 460. Cold A/C (converted to R134). Mostly original. Front suspension rebuilt with 1" drop lowering springs. New wheels and tires. New exhaust. New shocks. Considering its rarity, I'm not sure where to start. I realize there's not huge demand for Montego's. I'm going to aim high, and see where it goes. Asking $12k. Below is how it currently looks. I can provide detailed pics to anyone who is seriously interested.  ------------- Jeff 76 Mercury Montego MX Villager w/ 460 (SOLD) 79 Ford Thunderbird w/ T-tops 69 Ford Country Squire |

Hello Jeff. I saw your post on FB too. If I were you, I would ignore the comments, dig up the previous sale info on that low millage Torino squire, the one that sold on bring a trailer (Jay Lenno supposedly bought) for like 134k and play it off that one as a comp. I would try ebay too, spring is in the air, and tax returns are coming in. When you compare it to other vehicles in that asking price range, and condition, I think it stands out. Best of luck with the sale, it's a cool car. Mike H. |

Jeff, I can't say I am happy to see your wagon for sale, but its worthwhile if you have your heart set on a 69 to 70 Country Squire. I think your asking price isn't out of line considering how hard it is to find a decent wagon these days. Good luck with the sale and I hope your wagon finds a good home. ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |

Thanks everyone. If it doesn't sell, then I'll just keep it. I love my wagon, and am in no hurry to sell it. ------------- Jeff 76 Mercury Montego MX Villager w/ 460 (SOLD) 79 Ford Thunderbird w/ T-tops 69 Ford Country Squire |

They’re staggered 15x7 fronts, and 15x8 rears. They’re aluminum made by American Racing. They also have them in 17” ------------- Jeff 76 Mercury Montego MX Villager w/ 460 (SOLD) 79 Ford Thunderbird w/ T-tops 69 Ford Country Squire |

Noticed in the Bangshift pictures that your engine didn't have the "oil filter" on the air cleaner. ------------- "What we do in full frontal view, is more honest than your cleaned-up mind."

Hmm. I never thought of that. Did mid-size Fords have that "oil filter"? I don't seem to remember seeing it on others. The engine compartment of this Montego is pretty much untouched, but you never know what folks do over the years. ------------- Jeff 76 Mercury Montego MX Villager w/ 460 (SOLD) 79 Ford Thunderbird w/ T-tops 69 Ford Country Squire |
