    I mean, if I'm going to purchase a car sight unseen for $75k, all I really need are four pictures of the same side of the car and I'm good.

    Well it’s $50,000 for the car and $25 k for the “Honky Lips” artwork. Absolutely ridiculous.

    For me, I just wouldn't want to own a station wagon that was built for people to LAUGH at..........

    I'd rather have the 62 Dodge Dart 440 wagon that was on this forum a few days ago.

    If the 62 Dodge Dart wagon ("Millhouse") and this Truckster were the only two contestants in a wagon beauty contest, neither would win.

    It would be interesting to take to 80s car shows. But maybe move the decimal point to 7.5k.
    Why not have as many overall and detail views as possible, like BAT? When I see a high dollar car with only some outside views, makes me think it’s not the owner listing it.

    I don't understand this comment:
    A) it doesn't even look close to the right color of green
    B) the woodgrain sections look like they are just painted brown
    C) who is Mike Musto? never heard of him. what makes him an expert on judging Family Truckster replicas?

    Now that you mention it the green is definitely not correct. Non metallic. I guess he could not find the formula for the correct shade of “metallic pea”

    I saw this one at the Atlantic City car show an auction back in 2020. To me this was one of the nicest replicas I’ve ever seen.

    I don’t know who Mike Musto is but he’s way off. If he’s from Hemmings, he couldn’t be too far away as their van is in the background!
