We’re often left guessing why the original owners of certain cars with unusual or unexpected configurations ordered the cars that way, but it’s no stretch of the imagination to see why drag race photographer Lloyd King bought this 1964 Ford Country Sedan now for sale on Hemmings.com with a Z-code 390 and painted burgundy. Aside from the obvious attraction of a big-block V-8 in a station wagon, this Country Sedan also appears largely unrestored, down to King’s business lettering on the doors. From the seller’s description:
Factory Z code 390 300HP with 3 speed/overdrive transmission. Mostly detailed engine compartment but could use a little more. Just had carburetor rebuilt and Pertronix ignition installed. New battery, cap, rotor, wires, etc. Runs great. No smoke at all. No leaks either. Transmission shifts fine but has a small leak. Overdrive doesn’t always work though. Interior is near mint with no rips or tears anywhere. Original plastic is still on the rear seat. Fronts were on but dried up. Dash has no cracks.Headliner is perfect. Rear compartment is excellent. Some dash lights not working . Everything else works.Has aftermarket Tachometer and oil pressure guage. There is no rust on this car. Body has 80 percent original vintage burgundy paint. There are a few areas where someone did small repairs and did not do very nice blend job. Right front hood, both door front tops (had mirror holes) and a few places on the right side were redone. I placed a magnet on every panel and couldn’t find any filler. Car starts, runs, drives and stops fine. Updated 15″ steel wheels with dog dish caps. This was used by legendary race photographer, Lloyd King to travel to the races. He and his wife towed a trailer. It was also in the Eastern Pennsylvania Race Museum for some time.
