Quick opinion please!!!

Hello Everyone, First off I love this site , alot of very smart ford truck guys here.

Well here it goes I am a HUGE ford truck man, I am getting a 1954 Ford Country Wagon from a buddy , He did not have time to restore , it is a Arizona car no rust very very clean just in a million pieces, Do you guys think it is worth restoring. And it had factory air (A must in Az)

Thank all
Wayne

What does that have to do with his question? Anyways restore the car and give it to your wife since she likes it. Then you can tell her that since you did one for her you should be able to do one for yourself and go out and get your dream car.

Absolutely! Rust-free '54, so there's no wood body framing to worry about. Wagons are starting to make a real comeback on the collector car market, it can only go up in value. If you don't take it, I will!
