    From what I can see in the one picture it looks like a pretty decent wagon but im not sure about that $8500 price tag.

    WOW! These older wagons command a real price. More than I would have thought!

    I normally like my wagons black but I feel like this one would look good in a deep liquid cobalt blue with or with the wood grain. But that's just me.

    This car was offered about a year ago for $2000. I had the seller send me more pictures and decided it was too rusty to justify $1200 to ship it. It was well worth $2000 to a local buyer but not worth anywhere near the $8500 this guy is asking. Here's the thread it was diiscussed in.

    Too bad there's so much rust. It's a good looking wagon. I Sure could use a set of those Chrysler wheels though, Hmmmmmm?:scratchchin:

    It is a shame about the rust. Otherwise a good looking wagon. That paint color goes well with the woodgrain.

    Too bad about the rust, indeed, especially since it is already a repaint. Wonder how much work was done then. The other thing is the 4 wheel drum brakes. That is a LOT of car for drums all the way around, especially since front discs were a factory option.

    The GM "sport side view mirrors" look somewhat out of place on a Chryco...

    Wow... This add is for the same car, but it's way old. I bought that car from the same guy that advertised it for $8500, but I got it for $2950 in April of 2010. Still has the same Dunlop tires on it, too, and even now only has 88K on it. I don't much care for those mirrors either, and I will probably pick up a set of original chrome ones instead.

    When I got the car, it had already been converted from 2bbl/single exhaust to 4bbl/dual exhaust, and electronic ignition. The drums stop good, and are at least power. The '69 Polara wagon I grew up driving didn't have power brakes... That was fun.

    I did offer it for sale last year, as azblackhemi mentioned, but I have it back again. Though it is still too rusty to make it worth shipping anywhere, I can at least drive it locally now, and hope to get some of that rust taken care of before it gets worse. I originally wanted to paint it a nice cobalt blue, myself, but the light turquoise is a 1 year only color, and I may just keep that, if it gets to the point where I would need to paint it. If the rust turns out to be too extensive, that may be a moot point, but we'll see.
