I assumed ALL "Squires" had the woodgrain applied, but this one does not. I also did not know that you could have the "Brougham" package and "Squire" package on the same vehicle. Hmmm? Interesting...  ------------- Carlos....1975 Gran Torino Squire Station Wagon restored to look like a 1973 Torino Station Wagon my Dad bought new from McAnary Ford on June 6, 1973 in Gary,Indiana |

According to the door label, it is a Squire. Maybe the wood was removed professionally like Joe's. Maybe the Brougham panels are from another car. ------------- Griffin 1973 Gran Torino station wagon 1972 Gran Torino 4 Door 1976 Gran Torino station wagon 1971 Maverick 2 Door |

Squire Brougham package was a $189 option according to my '75 Edmunds New Car Prices book. ------------- 15 Cruze LT, 145K, for the wife 08 Uplander LS, 280K, broken again 08 Explorer EB, 248K, backup work car still looking for another something |

This is one odd car. First, it is a '75 model with a code 71K (Squire wagon). However, that code was for a '74 and '76, but not '75. Vin says it is a '75. Interior is a GZ (Saddle split vinyl - not leather) available on Grans and Squires, but not base models unless very special ordered. No radio and luggage rack, but power accessories. Obvious overspray inside the rear fenderwells. Paint code is 9D (Polar white), trans is a C4, axle is a 3.00 open. Delivered into Phoenix AZ. My guess is that it has been repainted in the past, woodgrain removed, and I'm unsure of the odd body code. Could it be that Ford built an oddity for that certain person? Possible, not not probable. ------------- Joe 1972 Mom's Squire Wagon 1972 Torino Wagon 1976 Torino 1968 Cougar XR7-First batch 1972 Torino 460 1989 BroncoII/Jeeps/Titanimous Popeye and Brutus (Rams) |

It is odd that the carpet doesn't look faded. ------------- Brian 1973 Ford Ranchero Big Block. ''THE OTHER WOMAN'' |

On my '75 GTS, the carpet is great and unfaded, but the door carpet is a similar faded greenish-tinted color from fade. It is also in the brown family. Faulty dye on the panels? Clean wagon, but $7K seems excessive. ------------- Joe 1972 Mom's Squire Wagon 1972 Torino Wagon 1976 Torino 1968 Cougar XR7-First batch 1972 Torino 460 1989 BroncoII/Jeeps/Titanimous Popeye and Brutus (Rams) |

This didn't meet reserve the first time at $4,000 of bids, then came up again and didn't sell again for $3050. Didn't meet reserve, of course. BIN was $7500. I could get excited about this wagon for $1500-$2000, and I would try my best to make it happen, but right now I'm focused on that red sedan in Denver, and maybe Ilyes would like to buy the white one from me. Then again he's a 72-73 kind of guy but this would give him something to play with and give me an excuse to get up to New Jersey to get my Cutlass Ciera to bring home. ------------- 15 Cruze LT, 145K, for the wife 08 Uplander LS, 280K, broken again 08 Explorer EB, 248K, backup work car still looking for another something |
