This family truckster is a full-size station wagon, known for its spacious interior and distinctive exterior with an interior that could seat up to eight passengers, with three rows of seats. The rear seat could be folded for increased cargo space, making it highly practical for large families or hauling cargo. Collectors appreciate the square and boxy design, in line with the automotive design trends of the late 1970s. It also included Ford models' recognizable front grille and headlight configuration from the 1970's. powered by the 351 Cleveland V8, good for about 150hp, paired with a 3 Speed Automatic transmission for really easy highway cruising. Check out the old-school luggage rack and OEM hub caps. Priceless! Inside, this wagon was equipped with various comfort features like air conditioning, crank windows, and a high-quality aftermarket stereo system upgrade. The emphasis was on making long drives and family vacations comfortable. Seats are heavy-duty red vinyl, matching red carpet, dash, and everything - note that there is a little wear on the driver's seat, but some full covers could make that look better.

Some people see these as collectible cars, especially well-preserved examples like this with minor issues not showing massive body rot. This one is ready for a loving home or restorer.
