    Isn't that WagonKiller's car? I thought he had a maroon '79 LTD wagon.

    Yes it's my car and the price is going up $1000 here real quick. I was just underneath it yesterday and it still looks like new BRAND new!

    Getting the new headliner this weekend or next depending on time I have. Just bought 4 brand new white letter tires. Decided to put new rotors, pads and bearings on her as they do have 123,000 on them now, nothing wrong with what's on it(bout half or more pad) but they are old/worn.


    There will be no wheelin and dealin it's a SWEET STRAIGHT SOLID ride.
    And well worth the asking price, or I'll drive it myself(which I am now). Taken care of should be ready for the next 123,000 mi!

    Being in love with the car does not make it a 3500$
    or soon to be 4500$ car....
    As we see on this list over and over again people ASK
    for X amount and car sits and sits... Eventually car
    deteriorates to point of doubtfully getting even half of the current asking...

    It may be a sweet ride but has miles and lacks options....

    Just saying....

    33-3400 miles a year, yea that's a killer there. No woodgrain option and you know EXACTLY what your getting. I Like the front header WAY better than the dual headlight sets. I feel it's much sportier looking and in fact sets it FAR apart from other wagons with this body style. And really with the LACK of options it's probably pretty RARE.

    Car would of been sold 2 months ago had it had the classic plates on it then.

    Car is being driven and I will tell you this Yes it has sat for spells of a few years, and I have gotten in this car and started driving it and it has ALWAYS EVERY TIME been NO problem what so ever. And I hate to tell you but I see NO signs of a "deterioration" problem. But then again being Tuffcoat Dynold brand new and oil coated RELIGIOUSLY twice a year has that effect on things. As said by oil coaters over the years "This car is the POSTER CHILD for oil coating"

    Always thought it would be an excellent 4.6 and overdrive candidate. Or I may just get a wild hair up my backside and put my 71 poncho 455 in it! He!! Stewie ran like a raped ape with that engine and this thing is a LOT lighter!

    Personally I think you should keep the wagon and enjoy it. No doubt you are atttached to it like I am my old wagon. This makes selling at lower prices difficult to do. So no matter what the actual worth I believe it's worth way more to you .
    If I were buying a wagon I'd really like this one for all the reasons you wrote. Plus I love the wheels and the color.

    I like the color too hard to tell if it's brown or red depending how you look at it.

    It's hard to believe that those wheels were BLACK with oxidation when I got them. I have seen similar but not exactly the same wheels around town. I like unique and no others like it kinds of stuff.


    Soon as I get caught up at work I will be all over her to make it A1
