Pulling Out A 1964 Ford Country Squire Station Wagon Sitting For 45 Years!! | Sunk In The Ground!!

This old 1964 Ford Galaxy 500 Country Squire station wagon has been sitting for 45 years. It's sunk in the ground and completely full of junk and it's got the car weighted down bigtime. Let's get it pulled out and emptied out!

My favorite part of this channel: nothing goes smoothly. It’s wayyy more realistic than other channels. Thanks for making these videos

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Mistakes and hurdles are just a part of life and I ain't trying to pretend I'm perfect! 👍

[@donaldhoot7741]

Other channels use a lot of editing.

[@EofBrokenSilence]

I came to comments to say exactly what you just did lol. Love this channel!! And being a TN boy, I'm kinda partial to my fellow Tennesseans lol

[@jailbreakgamin1966]

im surprised there wasnt a kitchen sink in there ..lol cool vid !!!

[@joeno215]

Best thing I ever did , was get rid of all the cheap chainsaws I had and buy a good name brand one. Never had any issues since. That was 17 yrs ago. Still runs perfectly .

[@wilkersonsmowershop8379]

I agree with ya 100%

[@michelletaylor5691]

We used a Mccluch......spelling??, for years, just bought a Stihl last year, starts easy

[@jeffwain]

My dad got a name brand one and I rebuilt his old one and sharpened the blade and it works better that the new one.

[@joeno215]

@Tango Downx2 well I've been using the same saw for 17yrs, pretty sure I know how to maintain one.

[@joeno215]

@Tango Downx2 yes , spark plugs , air filters , chains and 1 pull cord. No other work on the engine . 3-5 cords of wood a year. That's the point. To be fair ,even the new "brand name " ones are poorly built now. Anyway, good day sir.

[@edwardmulder3777]

what I like about ur show, you are down to earth, no need for theatrics, or crazy music, just great entertainment. Keep up the great vids, tks.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Preshate it.

[@ghettsumm7949]

That wood-grain paneling is the bomb,... only certain cars can pull off that classic look. Can't wait for the will it run video.

[@unclejustin7267]

Another winner. This was satisfying to watch for sure. When I was a little kid my dad would buy these old junk cars and my job was to clean them out and shine them up. Always lots of treasures inside. I can’t wait to see this old boat run down the road.

[@johnskipper432]

It is probably going to shock you how much money it’s worth just as is to a collector.. Station wagons are rare and they look so good when they are restored. My dad and his family loved our wagon , good times!!

[@jonathanbarnes3061]

Probably about seven hundred fifty thousand.

[@alfie69420]

Yeah like my grandad has a 1972 mini pickup and i was bloody shocked to hear in the condition its in (absolute shit tip) it's still worth like 8 or 10 grand😮😮

[@chestercribb9075]

I love this car it's antique it's gonna look great when you put it back on the road it's a real car they don't make them like this anymore keep up the good work I like watching your KZbin channel it's time people put real old cars and trucks back on the road

[@richardbrady2818]

On that rear tailgate, I believe there is a switch on the dash for the electric rear window to roll down then you can open the tailgate. I'm looking forward to this revival also, I just love someone taking chicken shit and making chicken soup out of it, thanks

[@robertj2]

They didn’t start the tailgate opening with the window up until I believe 69 so yes, the window will need to be down.

[@kennethsonier1766]

That was pretty cool. I was surprised it looked so good after you cleaned it out and got all the junk out. I think she might come around and I wish you luck 👍☮️🇺🇲

[@chuckcarter7597]

That back window is electric. Standard on Country Squires. You will have to get into the tail gate to lower it. Even if it was a manual window, you have to lower it to open the tailgate.

[@andrewdunbar828]

Yep the Falcon wagons of the era were that way too.

[@w.harden1215]

Wife and I truly enjoy your videos, keep up the awesome work.

[@patriotmob3227]

What a cool old car im looking forward to seeing you fix it up.

[@alecsimages1]

Perfect Mr, such an adventure 10/10.

[@neil6212]

When y'all are pulling with a chain, put an old tire between the two chains to take up the shock of the sudden snatch needed to get the thing moving. It ain't a Yankum rope, but it usually works and saves bent car parts.

[@thomascornelius510]

I'm a 60s child. My teacher drove that same vehicle. It was still in mint condition when I graduated in 84. I'm looking forward to the next video. Let's get under the hood of that bad boy. Stay safe. God bless. ✌❤🌹

[@joshjablonicky171]

Absolutely love your channel never know what you're going to get into it makes it very I have an absolute great time watching your channel thank you for all the hard work you put into it for us

[@jonoffensend7519]

I do hope to see a video on the roof replacement 👍

[@garyjones2582]

Squirt some form of oil into the cylinders now and let it soak until you are ready to work on it.. 50-50 mix of ATF and Acetone works great as a penetrant.. Marvel mystery oil is also good..spray some on everything u think you might put a wrench 🔧 to... My dad had a 62 with a 352 in it... They look almost identical.. good luck on another Chadventure...

[@TheGeezzer]

I was born in 1964 so you can imagine I enjoyed watching this video about a 58-year-old that has the same birthdate as me. That's a nice old car, sure is, what styling she has!! Nothing like it since nor will there ever be, shes a one of a kind and exceptionally rare. Those windows are irreplaceable so take care when fixin her up!

[@cigaroking]

I cannot believe there was that much junk stored in that ford wagon. Great content. Thanks

[@waynecap5960]

Fantastic you finally are going to make another video. my wife and I have just been waiting. And this station wagon looks like a really good project. Can't wait to see you do a burn out with it.🤣🤣👍

[@ThisNThatGarage]

I have a new video out every friday. Go to the videos section of my youtube channel and make sure you haven't missed any! Preshate yall watching!

[@brianalder2234]

Great video ! My opinion 1964 the best looking year for Ford !

[@EarlyV8Dude417]

Great save on the wagon 👍 Sometimes if you adjust the brakes up super tight, then adjust them all the way off, they may come loose. Looking forward to seeing more videos of the progress 😀👍

[@pisibish6111]

I love the Galaxie wagon!

[@randorific333]

The trim you were asking about at the end is most likely made of fibreglass. I'm amazed at how nice it cleaned up. The '64 full-sized Ford and wagons are among my faves.

[@andrewdunbar828]

Yes I've had two Australian XL Falcon Squires (similar to US '63 Falcons) which are super rare and the only fake woodies ever made there. I even had one NOS piece of trim from when I used to scour the swapmeets in the '80s and '90s. It was all fibreglass.

[@markcollins5026]

Man, my dad had a 1957 Ford wagon, and then later had a 1959 Ford wagon when I was a kid !

[@randorific333]

@@markcollins5026 My parents owned a '57 wagon also, but it was a two-door Del Rio Ranch Wagon, not a Country Squire.

[@pierrelaboom4026]

Oh, hey, I'm your newest subscriber! Def. An awesome wagon! "Git it home with a pipe and a chain through it!," Yeah, love doing things by myself, I've done it, both vehicles looked like they had been shot with cannon multiple times!! So glad you opted Fer a ass-istant!

[@waynecap5960]

We are looking forward to it also. You are one hard working dude.👍

[@BMfixit]

That's a prime example of a good hearted person giving his shirt off his back per say to help people. Chad, you are obviously a great guy. I see emps messing with you a lot. God Speed Brother. Thanks for the video. Boy,, you really picked a project this time. My 66 has the right front wheel stuck. Not for long it appears

[@BondeSmith]

Looking forward to seeing more uploads on this one!! 👍

[@daleh645]

Wow I would’ve bet money that you’d never get that out of the woods, I would have lost! I know now that if you don’t get it running it will because of circumstances beyond your control. Got a name yet? What about “Billy” as in Billy Squire? 🤣 God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸

[@morgansword]

I sure ain't no genius but fifteen hundred pounds is a very conservative estimate. My guess is north of a ton by a good bit...like say twenty five hundred pounds an that could be light. I was plumb flabbergasted when you showed that whole top loose from the body! What a great score. When you was over that way, I spotted that old galaxy and said, wish I knew what kind of shape its in as I just loved that model a rig. I couldn't afford that high a dress wagon so bought the same rig with a 289, and three on the tree. It ran so darn good and was one fine driver. We put so many miles on it that I won't even say it, you would just call me a liar for sure.. A bunch of the parts you took out don't fit this rig but they do have a value. I seen that steering linkages an it fits ford, those starters and alternators have got to be at least a few good ones. I see people looking and buying old carburetors because of the OEM stuff... sure do hope that you build the engine one shape or another as those FE engines were a good dependable engine in their day. Its the floors thats got me shivering as to will you even try doing a part of a floor pan... to do or not to do, that my friend is the question.

[@haroldrichards9033]

LOved this video. Your perseverance is inspiring. I am sorry about your knee. Both of mine are that way. I am always anxious to see your next adventure.

Thanks for saving the ol girl hopefully you can get her free and running good luck

[@stevenlatham4397]

Man, this was such an awesome video, It made my day. I’m so glad you are saving this car. Looks like you found a wonderful honey hole that you could make a years worth of videos from.

[@rscamarolover]

Super cool old station wagon, I hope you bring her back to life,it's very cool to see what looks like all the moldings around the fake wood looks intact even on the tailgate. I wish I could get lucky and find a cheap old chevy station wagon project preferably a 65 or 66. I love old vans,suburbans and station wagons as well as camaros

[@MrDoyle07]

My Dad had a 1960 Ford Sunliner that I barely remember, it was black and pretty slick. He traded that in for one of these. This was a good looking thing in its day too, but I, as a 7 year old, still remember that he traded the “good” one for this wagon which he thought was better for a family. I have memories of us all going to McDonalds for burgers and fries, my sister and me, in the back end like it was a freaking living room. Fun memory. Thanks!

[@ronaldclark2624]

The rear window may be electric! Thank you for sharing! Ron PTL USA🙂

[@johnnybgoode6466]

Hey Chad, another awesome find. The old Ford has great appeal and should be well worth the while to getting it road worthy ....

[@tomblomquist8213]

Love that old wagon and would love to have it. I have a 1962 wagon but looking for a decent 64. Glad its saved. Not seen one rust out in the roof like that unless something was on it. Love the color of the other blue wagon i would strip all the parts you can and save that glass the back curved ones are hard to find. Can't wait to see her come back to life.

[@johnskipper432]

1965 mercury colony park wagon, it was mom’s commuter carrying kids everywhere. It was our vacation wagon, it went everywhere that we asked it to go and fast. We would be going up the Smokey mountains with all seven of us and pulling a small travel trailer passing people slow pokes. That’s when I learned that dad had a lead foot. Standing on the armrest peeing out the window because dad didn’t want to stop and with five kids no wonder. But we loved our mercury, how can you love something that is just a machine I don’t know. I was the youngest of five boys and at five years old I was very fond of our wagon.

[@craigbowley6783]

Absolutely no rust n interior is phenomenal some how. Only thing its needing is a paint job n front end rebuilding. Love, love, love my 1966 ford country sedan wagon

I can't wait to see a will it run video of this beauty

[@caliblu-hair7639]

I went through that process of removing the drum and everything else preventing me from pulling a rear axle from a ‘67 Ford Truck rusting in a cow pasture. I needed the 3:50 gear head from the diff. It took me two hours to get everything apart so I could slide that axle out, but it had to be done. I was embarrassed by all the damage I did to get that gear head out, but the truck was a goner anyway, and it was worth it. When I cracked the cover off that pumpkin, the most beautiful clear fluid came out, and there wasn’t a speck of metal in the bottom of that case, and there was no sign of wear. It’s in the 9” rear end of my ‘65 Falcon (Econoline) van right now.

[@bobsclassiccarsparts8772]

I use a large 3 claw puller to remove old stuck drums. Works great. Yes it sometimes tears the linings off the shoes & breaks some springs, but you need to replace all that anyway if you are getting the car road ready. Local parts stores usually have a loaner but I’ve found those to be a softer Chinese metal. I bought an OTC one & it does the job. Tap with a hammer slowly pull.

[@richardcline1337]

Between the two cars I think you have enough to make this one look and drive good. Looking forward to seeing how this project goes.

[@rypkepaulusma]

I just couldn't stop laughing when you dug that chainsaw out of that car. I saw a whole new restauration coming 🙂Nice collection of stuff from different eras. Could start a restauration shop with them carburetors, starters and alternators. Great video!

Those two turning knobs w/ gears look awesome. If you’d want Id put them on something. Fun watching your rescues!

Such a cool car. Always been a fan of the galaxie especially a wagon! Love to see it back on the road, but you’ve got a ton of work ahead of you. Good luck.

[@jndnaps]

Very cool.. I'm not a Ford guy either but I do like the Galaxie's. My dad had a white 62 - 2 door with red interior that I really wish I had today. My favorite Ford. My mom had a Yellow 66 Country Squire wagon woodie.. The wife has a 67 Mustang that we've had for 34 years now. Got it from the original owner back in 88.. She was 84YO when she sold it to us.. The wife loves those Mustangs.. I'm more of a Mopar guy but I do like GM too. Have an 87 442 that I bought brand new. Only car I ever ordered and bought new.. Can't wait to see what you do to this wagon. It's so awesome to see these sweet old cars saved and come back to life. Do her justice!! 😁👍

[@1humanalien]

Love both those years of Chevy’s and fords

[@chukzombi]

my first car was probably the grandson of this car. i had a 1979 Ford LTD station wagon. not the country squire though. it had no fake wood trim, that car was a good first car, but it handled like a boat and had a lot of problems with the carburetor. it broke down once a month. i think i rather would have preferred this to that one..this car looks cool. cant wait to see you trying to get it going.

[@PapiDoesIt]

I had a blue 79 LTD wagon without the fake woodgrain, and had the vent wing windows up front. Mine had the factory towing package that included a 351W and C6 transmission, factory air shocks, auxilary transmission and power steering cooler, and "Premium Sound" that didn't sound very premium. I drove the thing until rust took its toll. It remains the most favorite car I've owned..

[@k-dawg3893]

Nice work This N That! Looking forward to seeing this one on the road again...

[@windowcreek1798]

One word...MAGNIFICENT.

[@bulldogmotorsports9522]

I just love this guy. He does things the way I would do them. Take care my friend and keep doing what you do.

[@karlrussell6765]

The 2 pieces of trim you pulled out of the back are early Corvair. Like 60-64. 64 Galaxies are my favorite. You do have to have the back window down in order to open the tailgate. The easiest way is by pulling the wires off the switch on the dash. Then jumper power into it. I sure could use that power window switch off of that parts car tailgate. Let me know if you're looking to get rid of it.

[@hubriswonk]

That car is in really good shape compared to the ones I have been looking at. All the glass and trim is there as well. I would not even hesitate to pull the engine and drive train. That car would make a killer hot rod!

[@douglasthompson2740]

[@53221carvel]

I love those old wagons. I would bring the other one home to strip the good off before it disappears .

[@KiwiStag74]

Like you, I'm a GM bloke, but the old Country Squire......well, she's got a bit of style and I've got bit of a soft spot for her. Love that faux woodgrain on the sides and the framing of it. Always thought that was made of Ash or some other extremely hard wood, but maybe that was just imagination. For sure, grab that lid off the blue / green one in the woods - especially if she's already become a pop-top. At least you could sit it over the roof of this one and maybe stop some of the water getting in, but since the floor isn't there any more, it's probably a moot point! I do like the red interior on the black car, so she was definitely a sharp looker in the day.....and will be again with a whole lot of love. Will enjoy seeing this one come back to the road, for sure! All the best.

[@ramrodson5461]

[@MisterMikeTexas]

I was born in late autumn 1963. The first car of ours in my memory was a blue-green 1964 Ford Country Sedan. In reminiscing, my dad said it had the 352, factory dual exhausts, and ran "super good". He said he put glasspacks on it so I'm sure it sounded good too. My mother simply said it was "a gas hog". I guess I shouldn't be surprised at that remark, as my parents' previous car was a "stripped" 6 cylinder 3 on the tree 1960 Ford sedan. It really was a stripped car, as it was simply a "Ford" (no series name).

[@haroldketzenbarger3064]

My Dad had this same car. The round key operators the back window. But the battery needs charging to make it work. His car was white with tan interior. It also had a 390. The window fluid was in a soft bag. I would love to have it now but he sold it to a friend for $500. If you ever sell this car after you get it fixed up I would sure like to see it. I also took my drive test in his 64 ford station wagon. What a GREAT CAR.
