Which is Cooler?
« on: November 23, 2006, 01:43:32 AM »
The reason I ask is that I have an opportunity to get a Squire Wagon that is in better shape than my '77.  I've never been big on the fake wood paneling, but it is WAY stock - even down to the red plaid interior seats (in great shape too).  It's like a little time capsule I discovered in the woods of North Idaho - no title, no tires - just sitting on its rims in the shade of a huge pine.

My '77 has had a few accidents - and it's racing stripped.  I'm considering just doing a straight engine swap.  But the "cool" factor is a consideration . . . imagine that, a Pinto owner concerned about looking cool - LOL!  I think it's that fake wood paneling that has me wondering . . . By the way - I checked the FAQ, no info on how many Squire Wagon's made that year - anyone know that bit of trivia? 

I just realized - Squire - just add an "L" - IT'S THE SQUIREL WAGON!

I have found more "treasures" in the woods right next to it - a '52 Dodge Truck (thought it was an old Jeep at first) - and a cool "camper edition" VW Bus - not sure the year it was really dark by then. 

I appreciate your answering my poll and letting me know what you think.

I say go for it.  If done right, you can have a cool looking squire.  Worst case, you can use it as a parts car, maybe make a few bucks off it too.  Good luck.

I think the cruising wagons are the "coolest" but if I had a choice between a reg wagon and a squire I would choose the squire. Squires are cool if in good shape and as close to stock as you can get.
It's all about the Pintos! Baby!
