    I'd be concerned about that possible rust below the quarter glass. Expensive to repair in that area. Are new seals available for those, or is it just sealed with urethane?

    Rear windows are "glued" in. Cut them out and glue them back in. Pretty easy task

    Yeah and that is a #1 rust area on the clamshell wagons... find one that has NO rust there and I will dance on my head and clap at the same time. ;)

    I looked at 20 of these bad boys that's was one of the top 10 on solid importance. Once they go there the crap accumulates in the 1/4's and rust city here we come. I also removed the 2 back windows and the windshield wirebrushed, rustproofed and resealed!

    Yeah, those LA Craigslist ads expire really fast. I guess due to the high volume of ads.

    No not yet. I don't think it will sell at that price either. My guy in LA is still going sus it out next time he is over that way.

    That is painful. IMO the car is worth the $8000 if it gets some reconditioning done right away to prevent further damage from water leaks and rust. If not, then it'll be worth $1500 to a derby guy at best.
