    Must stop afternoon drinking. I thought the ad said $24,900.

    So how many of these can be left? I’m quite sure this is the same Bobcat wagon I saw in Arizona last spring and it sold for just shy of $16.000, which I thought was crazy then. With the exception of the wire wheel covers which were added I guess that boosted the value by $8,000. I had a Pinto Squire with that exact interior. I may buy this thing and flip it in December for $35k. Why not?

    Right? No Air, no Air Deflector, no FM, no Rear Defrost, no Bumper Guards/Rub Strips.............
    Nice shape though.

    One of these pops up on ebay every so often, so they're not quite hen's teeth.
    The other options this is lacking probably wouldn't make much difference, but I'd think the lack of AC would be a deal breaker for most people at that price.
    The wires were a factory option and look quite nice but are generic FoMoCo.
    I'd prefer the styled steel wheels (the ones that resemble Magnum 500s) with the Bobcat only centers to give it a little more Merc identification. In fact, I have a set to put on my '76 Bobcat, if I ever get it back on the road.

    Pretty as it is, $25K for a Pintoid(?) boggles the mind.

    EBay says it’s gone. Could it have sold? We’ll see if it reappears.
