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.
I will have to say "squirel" but I'm partial with my bobcat villiger Also i will have to agree with Tigger if nothing else it is good to have spare parts.
