I Could Kick Myself

This wagon was just listed on Ebay yesterday, then disappeared. Apparently, someone offered the dealer a price 'cause his website says it's sold.

I would have bought it, even with all the aftermarket stuff on it.

 

What do you guys think? I've never seen one before. I love green.

 

That's an adorable wagon.
The only visible aftermmarket items are the leaf spring helpers and air conditioner. Both aren't irreversable modifications which could reduce vehicle value.
Other than that, to pass plausible judgement, detailed undercarriage photography would be necessary.
Its 318 Poly engine should be big enough to pull that sedan wagon and be comparitively thrifty at it, with the air conditioner turned off (That tiny unit would only suffice for cooling both driver and front passenger, within that greenhouse on wheels, anyhow). Had the wagon been a hardtop, the extra weight would have called for a big block

 

I love this wagon and the price was fair. I would've paid him 25K for it. I realize the aftermarket AC wouldn't be that powerful, but no one would be sitting in the backseat anyway. We don't have kids.

I love the styling, and did I say I love green cars? It would-be a real head-turner.

 

If you think finding parts for your Ford is tough, try finding anything for that thing. He doesn't say anything about the A/C working, so it's pretty safe to assume that it doesn't.

 

Paul said the same thing (about finding parts and the AC). I always have him check out car ads before I purchase anyway.

 

The air conditioner is one of your least worries, as far as finding replacement parts goes. That York compressor that's in it now was common AMC and Ford factory-installed. Replacing one of those with a Chrysler Corporation Airtemp compressor would provide enough cooling for operating a factory system.
R-12 refrigerant would be an issue. If you're able to obtain it, if the unit that's in there now hasn't already been converted to run on R134, it'll be much more expensive to get.
Nothing says that a modern compressor couldn't get hooked up. Plenty of resto-mods use these. There's not much to go wrong with these older units, if there isn't a pin hole somewhere, usually in the condenser, or if a seal blows in the compressor.
Engine parts will be scarce, given that the last year for Polys in passenger cars was 1966. If that engine indeed has only the milage stated, it shouldn't give any trouble, when properly maintained. Even then, it could get swapped-out with a modern small block 360, for example, or for one of the big blocks.
Floor boards are still available for intermediates. I don't know if any exist for full-sized, though. In California, body parts shouldn't be your main worry. Rather, other traffic participants are the ones putting classic cars at risk
