    The climate (and roads) aren't kind to these old beauties. Hard to tell without giving it a complete inspection how much you would have to invest to make it solid. And where are you going to find floors? Rocker panels would also be suspect.

    I'm sure there were no parts for this thing forty years ago either.
    None of that is any trouble for a good metal man.
    I have a soft spot for these as an Uncle had one.

    If it's as nice in person as it is in this photo I'd give it a closer look. It's very pretty. (y)

    Hrmm. I always did like the Rambler wagon and I could certainly go there and check it out, my best friend has a place on CC.

    I just don't like the cut-out QP and I would be leery of what the underside of that car looks like.

    Quarter panel rust like that is an easy fix, as are the floors. Not difficult to do in the last. Rockers ARE available. For the money, if the underside is decent looking, this is a very good buy for anyone with some skills at body work. Heaven knows that is is great condition compared to cars that are only 10 years old here!
