$300 cash.....

1 POS power winch...a freebee.....

$148 for towing......

1 more hole in the head......price less



And in my drive way sits a 1972 beateor Riduea 500......awe man it's beautiful

If Rev don't want it, no problem..........

....whay that no goood (*&^%%$$$*()))*&^%%$% !!!!!

Just kidding.......

If Rev don't want it, I'll gladly keep it!.......My Mom Said I could!

Wagon is way to nice to let it get demo'd or scrapped


Was a intersting buy thats for sure. Went and looked and the teacher was dead firm on $500, and it would have to be gone by the weekend.

Rev and I wagon sex phone chated about that.....


Next day the ad price drops to $400! I phone and leave a WTF message!!!!

After a bunch of bla, bla I'm told i can have it for $400......I say NO!


Anyways, when I viewed the car another guy came to the school's shop and asked if they could use a free engine hoist and the teacher was all over that. Sooooo I said $300 and how about a power winch, seems you need stuff? The deal was made. The winch owed me nothing....I couldn't even sell it at our yard sale last summer for $40.


So then I'm escorted to the office ( was like memory lane when I was in school) and waited to pay sitting in a really small chair, in school office. Man, it was memory lane

When I went to view it my camera packed it in so I only have a few pics, but here they are at the school...........



Drivers door bottom.....







Now what the heck is this???? It's clearly factory, looks like a door arm rest ash tray but it's on the outside of the tailgate just above the door handle.....made for some thing to stick in there, but what???



The only pysical damage...... kids tried to floor jack up the car via the way back's floor......



The rest of the interiour is in the exact same condition!









Last sticker on the plate, 2001.....

 

I don't know what you said, but it looks like you got a nice wagon for good money. Congrats!

Wonder what that thingy on the tailgate is for, is it made for a key?

Maybe it's a powerlet for your Ipod when you are at the beach!

 

Glad it got rescued! Nice job on the horse tradin'!

 

You'll get your money's worth for sure.

 

I hot wired my camera, just a few pics for now. I'll get more posted later today or tommorow.............



Been alot of years since I've seen this Suburban Motors sticker....they are still around today.



AIR BAGS??? we don nee no stink'n air bags!!

 

Tedy, Tedy, Tedy...








Excellent, congratulations.

 

I wonder if the little thing on the tailgate door is to fill a tailgate window washer. The big Mercs back then had an option to roll down a dirty window, push some button and the window would roll up cleaned. Could be the filler port???

My mother had a 72 Marquis Brougham (the pillared sedan). I remember reading the owners manual several times during my childhood on trips from El Paso to Phoenix...quite the boring drive...and that there was a window washer option available on the wagons.

 

That's got to be it!

For your viewing pleasure.......

Yup..if nuttin else....its been great talkin to Teddy every day for the last few days...we've been tag teaming on this thing for a week !

....and now all we have to do is Jello wrestle for it !!!!
....dont worry...it'll be on Utube...if between the 2 of us we can find a working camera !!!

and Teddy...i know your a FORD man at heart...so if you wanna sell all those GM's and keep it....I would be just fine with that

 

Great find!!!

Man, I am jealous of you guys! You stole that thing for less than scrap value! It looks really solid, too, which is so very unusual around these parts! I think that is the first 72 Meteor I've seen. I did see a 73 Meteor Montcalm sedan on a movie set once. Lucky car, it was too ugly to blow up! I wanted it but had nowhere to put it! Like this wagon, it was solid, but not exactly pretty. I have a feeling I have to move out there to be able to fill my driveway with the cars I most want!

 

Well...well.....My Mom likes it, for real, Deb really likes it! But then again, she likes me so what does that say?......

We sat in the mold free interiour last nite and chatted..... the no mold perioud inpressed her big time and she said if I stopped going to the bar everynite with the boys getting sh** faced I could keep it. She said, maybe putter around the house with some renos, screw around with cars, join a forum, stay out of trouble..... Dam, no trouble, guess I'm screwed

It's your first if ya want it Rev, but we both really like it.....


Hey, this sounds like a cash grab..... I keep it, I'm gona have to buy parts from the Rev!?!......

I came up with a good 460 and trans last nite




I guess we will be back on the phone again

PS......coming soon, For Sale, (for real) 2 for 1 package deal, 82 and 83 Gutless Crewzers

 

And now the bad....... 400 2V, If I keep it there will be a 460 under the hood

Runs with gas poured in the carb, but the tank needs hookup




Frame is solid, floors etc are solid but it does have some rust.....












The ash tray....
