You want to know the condition of the tailgate and rear bumper as I believe they are wagon specific and most rusted bad. Most I've seen have rusted out floors. The going rate is in the $500- $1500 with good paperwork for an avrage condition car, which that one looks to be by the pictures. Gene

It would be nice to just get it running and roll it with some freshening up. The OG owner is getting old and thier home is going up for auction looks like we can get this thing for the right price....if we act fast...I was kinda hoping there might be a possibility of it having a hemi but....the flathead 6 is cool too...happy halloween

It looks like the og trim is in the rear along with a swamp cooler and a neato wooden rack. The engine seemed to turn by hand by rotating the fan. It seems to rock back and forth but with the flat tires it is hard to see if the brakes are locked up. Gotta get the paper work for it and load it up on a trailer. My buddy is a sheetmetal worker so we can make up some new floors, get the motor running and refurb the brakes and get it down the road possibly...

That picture is rotating on my screensaver to inspire me each day to at least keep mine in mind if I can't get outside to the garage to work on her.

The P.O. was a real hoarding type and had a bunch of crap in it that we got cleaned out. The brake lines were all the way gone and the pedal for the brakes and clutch go to the floor and stay there. When it gets nicer out i will take some better pics...the headliner is an awesome rattan type of material and the dash has the original am/fm radio in it. The dash and the interior is a brown color so i think the seafoam green is a repaint. All the original trim is intact within the car...Even the hub caps. Its potential future is unknown at this point. Hopefully a weekend of tinkering with the carb/points/fresh fuel and a battery will guide us down its new path in life...

Most I've seen the "grain" in the wood paint was gone, leaving a rust color brown. Sounds like its been a battle from the begining. In case your interested, www.rustyhope.com makes a disc brake conversion for these cars. The original brakes were OK for the time the car was built, but pretty marginal these days. I'd update the brakes to modern day standards in a heartbeat, esspecially if your planning on doing a lot of driving. Cost wise, discs will be close to the same as redoing the original brakes.

I suspect they were around a couple years before that but it was the first one I owned. Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free. The most terrifying words in the English language are: "I'm from the government and I am here to help!"
