    Those seats are the cleanest things this wagon has to offer that I've seen. What on earth? Cracked dashboard too.

    And really, Did the seller leave a pizza on the floor on the passenger's side or if it isn't a pizza what am I looking at? Rags? Dog Vomit? This is like a B-Movie.

    At least the seller isn't asking anything higher than scrap-yard value for it. He's asking $350 and for that price it's worth it for a Derby driver, or someone who's into stripping a car for parts; I can imagine buying it to strip it before sending it on its way to a derby for a lower price than what I paid.

    Wow, I've seen better in my favorite junk yard. Only if it had the 403 would it be worth the price.

    :coco: Fixer upper? That is a joke right? :whew:

    I am all about saving old cars, but this one needs to be put out of its misery. It was once a beauty I am sure, but not sure what has happened to it since '78.

    What the heck happened to the roof??? That custom steering wheel... the seat... I am sorry, but I am about to lose my dinner.

    Did a bowling ball fall five stories and through the roof?

    You guys are harsh.

    Plenty of ways to seal that roof.

    Carpet and padding can be replaced. Dash pad might take awhile to find a light blue one to match but they are out there and a mismatched one can be dyed. Seats can be replaced. Paint and trim can be redone.

    I am sorry the ad is gone. I wanted to see more.

    I did realize the car could be restored... What was I doing and not doing at the time? Really now.

    You know what? A car in shape like this would be so bad it would be good in some places.
