    $2500. Looks like the Limited option from that steering wheel.

    Forgive me as I don't know what's included in the "Limited" option but I'll say that at least we can tell it has the roof rack and passenger side mirror. It might have power windows too because I don't see a window crank in that interior shot.

    I wonder if that wheel is the same as the period Caddy Seville. Sure looks like it....

    That's what I thought too. I had a '76 Fleetwood with probably the same wheel - '76 is a previous generation car though. It was telescoping - with a black pressure-slider around the ring on the top back of the wheel to secure the telescoping mechanism. Totally Awesome.

    It could be a terrific deal. Wish it were closer.

    Oh, thanks for the picture and Wagon education. :) Now that I read what the sales ad (not Craigslist ad) said, does it look like it has the rear window deflector to you? Again, it does look like it has power windows.

    It appears it got a little close to the side of the garage and it has some rust in the lower fender.

    Where did that photo come from?

    Does look like sunroof and front optic fender markers?

    I contacted the owners. They sent me a couple of additional photos. And yes, it does have a sunroof and lamp monitors on the fenders

    It does show some damage, but for the high option level, still a potential deal at that price.
