    It is well-optioned, appears to have been garaged, and that is a nice shade of green, in-and-out. I would want to examine the wood grain closely, to see if it is original or restored. I can't tell in the photos. The surrounding wood trim is often a trouble spot on these cars.

    Otherwise, the only thing I would do is add a set of the optional factory aluminum wheels, and it would be perfect.

    Don't let a little distance stop you! There was a thread on the Mopar 'A-bodies only' forum about a guy from Canada going down to San Diego and driving home an old Dodge Dart wagon. Don't give up! It can be done.....

    My wagon came from San Diego. I was there visiting, looked around at cars for sale, found and bought this one, and then drove it back to Ohio.

    California cars (and those from the west and southwest, or anywhere where it is dry) are worth a little extra effort.

    Tedy, I remember that guy. As I recall he bought a black Colony Park and did drive it home. I can't recall his name, though.
    I always loved the wood treatment on these LeBarons. Very classy looking.
