I finally went and got it.
1966 Ford Country Sedan, with enough extra parts to build a second one.
Car came with extra set of doors (all 4 with glass), hood, fenders, grille, glass, seats, interior panels, etc, etc.
Has a 289 in it with a busted crank, picked it up for $550.
Car is straight, except for a small dent on the right quarter where the rear bumper got lightly tagged. And there's a small dime size rust hole in the front passenger floorpan. Very, very light surface rust. All in all, a really solid car.
To start - motor will be coming out, clean up the engine bay, and drop in a 390.

Dwight, which one? There's a wagon and a 2 door along side it.
It's a 1966, 9 passenger. I'm thinking about going with 18's or 20's, gray torque thrusts. It's coil sprung front and rear, so bags will go on pretty easily. It has a perimeter frame, and it's above the pinch. It's got about 5 inches of clearance between the rear axle and bumpstop, so I should be able to drop it 7 inches by the time the axle hits the frame.
I don't really plan on doing too much to it, just going to keep it simple. The original color is a burnt orange metallic, and I'm thinking about going back to it. But I've also got a couple of other colors in mind too. Also go with a dark tint on all the windows, lighter on the front doors (for the local gestapo).Not sure about the interior. The rear seat is in really good shape, the front seat is worn through at the drivers. The headliner is out, and rolled up nicely, along with all of the support bars. It appears, quick glance, to be in pretty good shape too.
