    The color is beautiful, I'm not sure why they made any in other colors.

    Defiantly much nicer than all the green ones. Especially when they had green interior.

    His Asking price is what happens when you smoke crack , then come-up with an " asking price "
    And doesn't take responsibility for facts on the car. Such as original paint. That is Very easy to Prove
    when looking directly at the car. Just sayin'....... Also, wheel covers are Wrong!

    I would think by the paint condition, it has been redone. It’s really a lovely color, and certainly the sills, and jams would indicate original color. With all the sound deadening missing under the hood, and really shinny paint under there, I would suspect a repaint. I agree for $35 large I would want to know as much as possible, as well the hub caps I don’t get either. With a 42,000 mile car that I’ve owned for 15 years I’d get some original wheel covers, even if I didn’t like them. Keep them wrapped in newspaper in the well. That’s certainly something you could explain, and it would make a new owner that is a total stock freak feel better.

    Agree - selling wagon on Hemmings, not ebay or the local Craigslist, so have a little more respect for your audience.

    Owning a green/green '72, I'm a bit prejudiced. I do like the blue on this one. It's a matter of taste.

    For instance, I've had people tell me they prefer the '72 because the shape of the woodgrain/trim on the '70 & '71 was too much like the Plymouth Sport Suburban's.

    It seems to me that $35K is just about the top of the range for this, i.e., the price for a very nearly perfect, most highly desirable example. I don't think this one is in that class. It looks like there are problems with the headliner, and, though there's nothing wrong with a 383, for that money I'd want the 440. And am I seeing duct tape on the rear seat and a split in the driver's seat back?

    By Jove I think you’re on to something there. It has the same incorrect wheelcovers. What’s the chance of that?

    When you want top dollar, it best be perfect, and the wheel covers are just wrong for model year alone.

    That alone is enough.

    I wouldn't care about the wheel covers. I'd be getting Chrysler/Dodge road wheels anyway......
