For those who live in warmer and/or drier climes allow me to explain. This is considered a rust free car up north. Unfortunately he doesn't show the real problem area of the frame common on A/G bodies. I can only assume the engine or transmission blew and the car was not deemed worthy of fixing so it sat. I kind of like the car, but certainly not at his asking price. Maybe for about $750.

 

He's asking $3500 for a car that's worth barely more than a tenth of that.

 

Agreed, that is a $500-1000 car max. Pretty base model also, V-6 no power windows or brakes. Headliner falling down. As as previously stated without pictures of the rear frame rails & extensions (wagon's & Elcamino's have the same frame) I would pass. That and I just can't get over the factory nonopening rear door windows. Always hated that, on once the A/C gives out they become miserable to drive in the summer heat due to that & the rear hatch design.

 

Those rear door windows did not open? That is nuts. Who would have bought that?

 

Go to around 2:40 on this video.

 

Looks like I would have been a Diplomat Medallion buyer. Nice cliip!
