    Hey I like it. Wonder how the exhaust sounds/looks in person? The laminate looks like it was changed? What is the the "knotty pine" series? Also looks like an aftermarket transmission cool in the front. He's got a lot of personal preferences on here, wonder why he's selling? And why the dirty floorboard pic???

    Is the woodgrain factory? I don't know these cars well.

    I'd be willing to bet he put it on with a paint job. Notice the gas tank door. That can't be factory, but it won't be the first time I'm wrong about something today... and it's early!!!

    No, but the wheels are. My grandmother had a wagon that looked just like that! :)

    I didn't notice the gas door. Well, whatever floats the boat.

    Alrighty. On another note I don't think this woodgrain job looks bad. The rear tire looks flat though.

    Hah. I noticed the 15" or 14" wheels in a few of the older pics.

    I think the pic of the floor is attempting to show that the floors are solid, at least that part of the floor?

    Looking at this ad multiple times, I'm reading the car is in storage and will need a wash and tlc. I think this picture is recent-

    I'm not sure if the first 3 pics with the gigantic wheels are the newest in that case, note the wheel in the pic below. It would make sense if he removed those big wheels for sale:

    Agreed. Seller is attempting to show how solid the floors are.
