    Shes REALLY clean for $2,500. Reminds me of the one used in 1974s "Stepford Wives".

    You are right about the description. It has much kick if it said this "It is a car with four wheels and makes a vrrrooom sound"

    Pretty sure it's got PW. Otherwise you would see a window winder on the door in that last pic......

    According to Wiki, this is a 6th gen CS produced from 73-78, most had the 400 or 460 engines with later models having the 351W(Windsor) option as well. My guess would be the 400 for this one since I don't see evidence of factory dual exhaust on this one from the pictures, pipe for the dual would have exited aft of the left rear wheel I believe. I remember the 400 as beig a pretty gutless engine in 1974 with emission regs strangling it. I agree with Tedy on it being a non AC car, there would have be several more positions on the climate control panel. The silver knob under that panel in picture, is that maybe to open the fresh air vent on left side? Might be the cigar lighter, the ashtray is in a pull down under the heater controls.

    I see a switch for the rear electric window lower right of the steering wheel, above that a control for the right hand outside mirror, next to the air temp/position controls is the switch for the rear defrost (I have it on my '78). Then left of the pull out ash tray, the chrome knob is a lighter.

    If I had more money I'd buy this beast. These big wagons are still way undervalued in my opinion. What the hell can you buy for $2500 buck anymore? The cars from this era get no respect. That'll change in the near future. I think it's starting to now...
