    As promised here are a few pics of my wagon. It needs a real good cleaning up as it has been sitting for almost 15 years.

    :Welcome:.... really looking forward to see what's under the dust... specially the green vinyl top; never seen a factory vinyl top in that color on a wagon(y)

    How's the condition of the wagon and engine?

    The car is in excellent condition as far as I can tell.No rot at all. The chrome needs attention but will clean up. As far as the engine goes, my uncle parked it there 15 years ago. He said it was one of the best running and driving cars he ever had. It only has 41,000 miles. I am hoping after I pull and clean the gas tank, change all the fluids,filters,belts etc. and a complete tune up it "should" fire right up. It still has a good brake pedal but I am planning on a stuck caliper or two! We will see this spring! I will make sure she is roadworthy because she will have to make the 4 hour trip from my uncles to my house in Crisfield md. I will take plenty of pics and document everything as I progress. I plan on taking video when I first fire her up.
