    If it's not for the sloppy booze hounds, my guess would be a very leaky liftgate.

    I could very well deal with this one. Would have liked it a lot better before the owner made all his 'improvements'. Anything I don't like on it now is easily fixed.

    You're just no fun anymore! :)I would get rid of the hat on the skull. Must be awkward shifting.
    :drink:And stop changing stations on the radio!

    The paper towels are there to mop up the puke. Not necessarily from drinking.

    I could live with everything on this wagon except for the silver vinyl seats and what looks to be the same silver vinyl dash pad. And the silver vinyl on the door panels.

    I could even live with the logo on the tailgate. But I'd change "tradition" to "feud". Just 'cause this is usually what happens on long road trips in a wagon. :)

    And the black headliner. That just looks like crap. That someone sprayed on.

    But the flame-throwing exhaust sounds like a good idea. Good way to get rid of tailgaters. :evilsmile:

    Seller doesn't say so, but this car was not originally equipped with a 390. It was a 352 from the factory.

    That interior is pure 50's man! I'll admit not comfortable in hot or cold weather. But I'd drive it, with out the skull cowboy hat.
    The tailgate words can always be changed. When I got my wagon back it had a little red wagon picture with the Red Baron cartoon caracture in it. It said RED BARON. I changed it to Lil Red Wagon using oven cleaner to remove a few letters.

    You could always change the second word to WAY:rofl2:

    I like this, and pulling the classic trailer is great.

    The window sticker to the right is a bit ... defensive?
