!964 Mercury Comet Villager wagon

[64wagon]

I am new to posting photos ...so here is a first attempt at it.
This is my 1964 Mercury Comet Villager wagon. As you can see it is a project, but it runs and drives great and is all there. I have been having trouble finding other '64 Villager wagons anywhere on the internet and have written a letter to Ford of Canada in Oakville, Ontario to try and decode the car.
If this photo post works, I'll post another, if not, I'll try again.

Okay...that actually worked .
Here is a photo of the rare "gas cap" that I was lucky enough to get with the car.

Though I plan to restore my wagon to it's original state, here are some cool '64 wagons I think are awesome.



Dyno Don is the Best !

WOW!!!! That is too cool! I bet pro-jim will be drooling over that!! ROY.

Yup, just wiped the drool from my chin. That wagon is cool. I do not think I have ever seen a villager before.
What is even cooler is I will be seeing Billy's Ugly Duckling wagon doing wheel stands like that tomorrow afternoon at Mason Dixon Dragway for the 422 ALLSTARS SERIES RACE .
That is the wagon run under the 422 Motorsports team that Steve (tunnelbolt 65 N/SS build) and I belong to and Steve will be racing against that wagon soon .
I know it is to far for alot of you guys but if you are close to the east coast check out one of there races if you get a chance.
Search 422 Motorsports and look at there schedule for a race near you to help keep N/SS racing ALIVE !!!!!! JIm.

Jim;I am SOOOO jealous of you East Coasters,you have such a strong Nostalgia Super Stock group!!! I hung out with a lot of the 422 group the year I was back there,most of them are a crazy group of people!!Great Cars,and FAST!!! ROY.

[projim64]

Well we have to get something Roy . You guys get all the rust free cars !!!
That Wagon went an 8.64 in the quarter last year at the last race. This year it has a new tranny in it . I cant wait to see how fast it goes now. Jim.

I hope this works pictures and video from the Mason Dixon 422 All Stars Race. A field of 27 N/SS cars this week.
Not my best picture or Video but you will get the fever for 60's FE POWER.

If you did not make it you missed some great racing . The only bad thing was the heat and the ticket I got on the Pa Turnpike doing 91mph in a 65 mph zone OuCH !!!!!

Well hello, i bought this unit the other day. Seem the owner had to move it out as he was moving and had no room to put it. His loos is my gain. My hobbie is building resto mods and I'm really looking forward to getting on this project. I plan on doing some minor mods to it such as a custom paint job and some custom wheel . other then that i plan on keeping the interior stock as well as the drive train. It will be freshed up of coarse. First things first is to get the interior stripped and burnt as the mice had a fieldday in there. will update with picts when i start.

If you need help with the wood let me know, I've been working on a project for my mothers Christmas gift and I think it may interest you for this wagon http://m1092.photobucket.com/albums/Com ... SnL5YCE%3D
