Ha. I remember when they were new. That looks like a base model.. My dad looked into buying a new one in 1966 but opted for a new 1966 International Travelall instead as his DD biz vehicle. (bigger, better built, more reliable). His partner had a base Wagoneer of that era briefly. I rode in it several times. It was a more comfortable vehicle than the International, but it was notoriously unreliable and guzzled gas. (Of course gas back then was like 30cents/gallon gas was not that big a deal as it is now.). I also remember his base model had rubber floor mats, and carpeting was optional. If I remember right, the Super Wagoneer had the carpeting and luxury touches standard. And I believe AM radios were also standard on Wagoneers of that era. Had to pay extra for the AM/FM.
I can certainly see the coolness factor of having one now, but I'd suggest staying away from it.
