    Depends. There are multiple factors:

    PLUS:

    40 year old car still with original owner
    Rust free
    Garage kept
    Looks good inside and out from what we see
    3rd seat

    MINUS:

    Engine not started in 6 years could be locked up
    Appears not to have A/C
    No power windows ( that's just me - others might not care)

    To me, the biggest issue is whether the engine is going to fire up with a new battery and fresh gas.

    Thanks for that. I have never owned a Mopar so really I don't know what they look like under the hood and where the compressor is located. :) Much more familiar with GM and Ford.

    This is a rare car, too. First there aren't THAT many of the Sport Fury wagons out there. Then you add the "Top Hat Special", and you have something very uncommon. The body looks terrific, as does the interior. These old Chryslers seem to be almost indestructible when it comes to the engines. The 360 is a good compromise between power and (almost) economy. All in all, if it can be made to run without too much work, this is a great deal.

    72 Sport Fury

    It was called: " The Top Hat Pack "

    and included the following package of options:
    Power Disc Brakes
    Air Conditioning
    Tinted glass all -around
    Am/FM Monaural Radio
    Rear Speaker
    Clock
    Undercoating
    Bumper Guards
    Light Package
    Automatic Speed Control
    3 Speed Wipers
    Mirror on Passenger-side
    Head-light time delay

    Sounds like it was a great deal to get back in 72
