    Where's it located - Arizona? It looks like one of those hot-weather low-rust cars.

    Looks like Virginia tags, so I'd assume Fredericksburg, VA. About an hour or so south of D.C. on I-95.

    The 400 in this car will be adequate, but with only 158 hp it won't win any races. This is a pretty heavy car -- probably the heaviest CP ever made.

    Still, as they've been saying, for the asking price you can't go too wrong, if it runs and it's not a rust bucket.

    Well with zero info on the car other than and I quote... "Engine runs great would be good engine for muscle car" You have to be on crack if......


    You can see passenger rear quarter damage, no info etc on the cars condition....interior for 1 example. Just on the 3 pics provided I'm only seeing a pricy parts car or derby sale.:2cents:

    I'm an hour away.. May go see it this weekend. I emailed the seller and asked about the interior but didn't have much to say about it

    I agree for the little bit I can see of the wagon and if it actually runs decent a little rust and ratty interior wouldn't matter. Apparently it has a junk yard engine which may be a good or bad thing. I've seen junk yard motors that were junk and after a few swaps owners are glad to get rid of the car.
    A closer inspection is the only way to go.
