    The moldings around the wood graining look to be the wrong colour. Normally they would be a lighter, ash, coloured wood grain on a Ford, not the same dark mahogany colour as the dy-noc.

    I agree... the way it is now is unattractive. First thing I would do if it was mine would be lighten that back and put on the original wheelcovers. I am just not a fan of aftermarket wheels and white letter tires on an old wagon.

    These are fairly rare with the 460.
    That being said, it's pretty ugly the way they painted the Di-noc and moldings. Shouldn't be all that hard to get some new Di-noc and repaint he moldings in a light tan color.

    They should be saying leatherette or naugahyde, commonly called vinyl. But after years of velour not too many remember the Hot vinyl days of summer or the Cold vinyl days of winter.

    x2, also needs more pics. Wagons go for more than Sports even though they aren't as popular, so that isn't as bad.

    "I don't have pictures" is just an unacceptable thing in this day and age...

    I will say that driving it from South Carolina to New York state for the winter has proven to be VERY unkind to this poor car...

    Yes, we have and it used to be in much better condition, even with the non-factory wood grain treatment. Sad.
