    Painted brown, it would be the wagon that was used in the last season of the "Brady Bunch". :) I think theirs was a Satellite Custom however. :)

    Though for a moment it had cop shocks with the cop wheels but no, cheap Japanese shocks.

    Still if solid could be a great deal for someone.:banana:

    What? When's the last time something made in Japan was "cheap" in terms of quality? This stereotype went out about 50 years ago. Japanese-made cars have consistently been among the best on the road for many years now. They practically own the electronics world. Etc.

    My point exactly, and the reason we have to keep replacing/re-purchasing our t.v's appliances, computers, and anything electronic every 5-7 years.

    You can't deny that American Zenith and Magnavox t.v's as well as other main appliances used to be able to work for 35 years without a hitch.

    Can't say than about most items purchased post 70.

    and as far as their cars, Please. steel?

    KYB shocks are not a cheap, nor an inferior, brand of shock absorber. They are probably as good as you will ever find for this particular car. Over all, I would say the car is a well cared for driver that would bake a great car for someone. Hopenit goes to a person who will continue to love it.

    Not trying to contradict you at all, termite, but, I really like KYB shocks. I do understand your comment, though.

    No Problem,
    Maybe I shouldn't have placed that in the statement, But still stand strong going by my own experience for longevity and early valve wear issues. Any car I receive with them anymore are automatically replaced and no longer deal with them.

    I will re-phrase that last statement to the people who apparently found the statement problematic. Sure didn't mean to offend them personally,
    just stated my experience with their shocks.

    Cop Shocks, Cop tires, No Cop shocks.:clap:

    Yeah, who knew?

    I was going to do a silly bit using the words Plymouth, Wagon, Spokane, Yakima, Sebring, KYB, but I just couldn't make it work. Now I have a headache! :slap:

    Thanks a lot, Termite! :taz:

    David :rofl:
