O M F G !!!!!

What a mess even with the crappy pics....

Interior - TRASHED
Rusty inside and out

So you own a 'hotrod shop' but you can't replace a bad solenoid
and do a basic tune up... Good gawd!!!

"Solid" ???
"Couple quarter size holes, maybe" ? ? ? ?

Every seam shows rust and the rear well (third seat area)
has a hole big enough for a hamburger to fall thru...

Leaves and dirty as hell inside.. WHAT THE HELL.. too damn lazy to
spend little while and clean it up some...

That advert is an insult to the human race.....:rant:

 

That hole in the 3rd row seat area is a nothing. The rubber plug is missing. It certainly has seen better days, though. What I did notice was the spare tire. That thing looks to be the original, ancient, bias belted tire, possibly from when the car was new!

 

Crappy pics? Are we looking at the same ad? For a craigslist ad, this guy is great. What's he got, 30 photos? I haven't counted them.

Most craigslist ads have three or four, if that many, and they're often poor quality. At least this guy's honest with what he's got.

 

I'll stick with the Satellite I drive.

 

Not a $2700 wagon but I think that most of us have seen alot worse.

 

Uh, I'm not terribly impressed. Yeah, at least there's lots of pics.

I like what he said first off in the ad text:
"I am looking to sell my dream wagon: I have for sale a ONE OWNER 1973 Plymouth Satellite Station Wagon that was custom ordered with a 318 and 3speed "on the tree" manual transmission."
- Uh dude, the 318 and 3-on-the-tree were stock on that wagon.

 

This is pretty much what I started with in 1996 except mine was Metallic Pea, kind of that horrible 70's green...G gack!

 

It's really not that bad considering some of the pure junk that has been posted, yeah that drivers seat is in the top 5 for trashed but atleast the seller was honest enouph to post a pic, rite? How many for sales have we seen where the seller says "some drivers seat damage" to find out it's like this one?

 

Hey CE love your Satty! I was going to PM you about that stereo piece you were after. That may be completely removed from my 74 to accommodate my new smooth dash. When I decide I will let you know if you are still needing one.

 

Looks like a couple raccoons must have had a big fight in the driver's seat over some crumbs they found there? Also, this must be the pastor's car since all the pics are made in front of the church.

 

Alrighty, that'd be awesome, thanks! I appreciate the compliment. She's been a labor of love.

 

No problem, I just love the car! I was keeping my eye open for one to paint to match the wagon and then Rod it out with a hemi or something. If I remove that piece I will send it to you free of charge...it would be awesome to have a hand (even a small one) in such an awesome car.

PS: I would send you the factory radio too!

 

Boy, you are just a helluva guy. That's rare these days to see such kindness. Must be a wagon guy thing!

 

I think you're right CE! We all know it takes a special person to appreciate these cars. I feel like it's the least I could do for a fellow longroof lover. I have helped a few people out here on the forum and in every case it was my pleasure to do anything I could for my second family.
