I really feel compelled to save this, but I think if I bring it home my wife will shoot me! 1968 Chrysler Town & Country Station Wagon - 383 HP - All Origininal - $1200 (West Sound) Date: 2012-02-07, 12:28PM PST Body is VERY STRAIGHT. This thing is a mile long. Little to no rust. White with gold/tan interior. 383 4 bbl Engine Numbers match. I bought from Original owner. Motor is siezed from sitting. White with wood grain. Rear window spoiler Bu no luggage rack. Just one split in the front seat insert. Tweakers stole radiator and carburator. Good Glass Paint will rub out NOT A DERBY CAR - So don't bother with the low ball offers. 360-509 5 6 3 4 Location: West Sound it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
I saw that ad, too. If this had been sitting outside in a dry climate, it might be an easier restoration. But the way it appears to be sinking into the ground, with the weeds and trees appearing to consume it, I'm afraid rust would be extensive. On the other hand, it might make a good parts car for the interior, if it has been sitting in the shade all of its life.
You know.. the problem is.. right now Wagons are still a great value and you can find them on the cheap. So getting motivated to haul one home that will require that amount of work just isn't there. I'd much rather work on a "running project" than have to tear one completely apart again... Like I'm doing right now with my '55 Buick. Ohhhhhh that I had the space, time and money!!!!!! Guess I answered my question about whether or not I'll actually do it. Hopefully somebody will save it one day.
I saw that ad too. It has been posted a few times on Craigslist. I would like to take a look at it, but I don't have any money, nor do I need an other fixer-upper. I sure do like that body style. BTW, I am from Maple Valley too.
A fellow Maple-itte! Welcome. Hope it goes to somebody who will give it the care it needs.. It is a very nice body style.
i think you start by buying it and when you bring it home introduce it to your wife with its new name.....name it after your mother in law. of course like if your mother in laws name is gertrude .... you dont wanna tell your friends you you spent the weekend in your garage banging on gertrude ... or pumping gertrude hard while turning her over till she roared......
My wife would shoot me, you say..... Well we would -->....... You want that for $1200'ish and yet this one is for sale....lets do the math here..... 81X11 found it, $3100....Now THIS is worth having the wife shoot you! http://houston.craigslist.org/ctd/2831879889.html
The $3100 T&C in Houston is so much a better deal. I'd like to see more pictures of it but if it's as nice as it looks someone needs to jump on it.
Let me see if I got this right.............Buy it, call it Gertrude, and jump on it! The $3100 T&C in Houston is so much a better deal. I'd like to see more pictures of it but if it's as nice as it looks someone needs to jump on it.
you can always find another wife....but how often do you find one of those?????? (just jokin)....sorta ....kinda .....almost.....
