    $600! No mention of what engine but gas and propane, my Buick is propane and is the cheapest thing to fuil. But the add mentions "Mildew" after sitting a couple years.....I'm not intersted. Island "mildew" means trouble! and has rust.....Could be a great parts car

    Approx 90K miles, minor body rust, runs, gas and propane. Car has been sitting for
    about 2 years with some mildew on inside, drivers seat not bolted down. It started
    and drove it up the driveway. 600 or best offer.

    Looks like the same color as mine. Wonder why the seat is not bolted down? :confused:

    I like those 77's. Could have one of the last of the 460's. I thought of Jon (wagnut) right away when I saw this wagon. Too bad it's so far from him. Actually, too bad it's soo far away from ME.:D For 600 bucks it could turn out to be a great car or, at the least, a good DD. Wish it had a lot more pix.

    Oh man SF, you are correct if it were only closer. If it was a 460 with a body that is on its way out, it would be a perfect donor car to make my '78 a 460 car. I would not let the '77 go to waste, drop the 400 I have in there and make it a nice clean DD.

    The reson I was learey in my first post was the mention of "mildey". Out here mildey normaly means MOLD:49:, mildey on the surface of a interiour and mold under the seats, carpet etc. I've seen cars out here come spring, with just one winter of being parked ruined. The thing with the mold out here is, in spring there will be alot visable but as the summer goes on it powders up and "apears" to not be as bad....then comes fall/winter and the rains again. Trust me, west coast mold/mildey in a car is something to be very cautious about.

    most of the 'detail' shops nowadays have that nifty lil steamer gadget that they put in the car overnite and it kills all the mildew and you just vacuum it out....did it to my 68...mint!!!:)
