    I like that one. If I remember right, it was for sale before for a LOT more money.

    I'd have to remove the tint from the front door windows to not get bothered here in Ohio, but I could redo it at 50 or 35 percent.

    And probably have to remove the wheel skirts to get the rust work done.

    And I am thinking there were some other issues with the car, trying to find the old thread now...or maybe it was issues with the seller?

    Looks like a $2500 wagon.

    Originally an Illinois car, hence the rust.

    Yeah, the rust is the scary unknown.

    Exactly, this '76 OCC would need a close inspection to determine actual value.
