I picked up a 66 1414 base model Wagoneer from Hayden Lake, ID. over the weekend. Bronze Mist exterior, Amber Poly Interior. 50k on the odometer, but probably 150k.
4.09 gears in the rear, 4.10 in the front. Uncut, 98% stock (Buick hubcaps, non-stock tires).
A few dents and dings here and there. Spare tire (white wall GoodYear). 1200 Hornets and 45 hornets nests.
Single family owner since new.
It's been sitting in a field for 12-15 years. Broken windshield.
232 inline 6, T-90 3 speed transmission, Dana 20 transfer case with ebrake drum on the rear output.
I scrubbed the heck out of her, drained and changed the oil, ran some mystery oil down each cylinder and she turns over just fine. I checked the wiring, installed a battery and the lights, stock radio, horn and blinkers work. The brakes light do not, but I believe the master cylinder is bad, or it needs a bit of vacuum. I'll be attempting to fire her up over the Thanksgiving holiday. The shifting mechanism on the column appears to be broken. That'll get replaced over the holiday as well.
