    Amazing how detailed the pictures are. Shows everything. Nothing to complain about except for maybe remove the steering wheel cover so we can see the condition.

    Check back in around 12:30 PM (PST) on Thanksgiving, 11/22, to see how the last 1/2 hour of the auction goes.....

    This should give a good idea of what a pristine, low-mileage box wagon is worth.
    Only thing that might bring it down a bit is the time of the year. If the seller had waited until spring...........

    Yes waiting till spring is the same dilemma I’m in. I’m thinking of selling my 74 Buick because I’m low on room but it might be best to hold off for a couple months.

    Pump for the auto-level rear suspension, I believe (basically - air shocks).

    Judging by the black accumulator ball on the side of the master cylinder I would say that is part of an ABS system.

    Currently at $6,700..... Separating the men from the boys now, in the bidding. This one should go for over $10k IMO.........

    Agreed. I think anything under $10k would be a very good deal on this car. With 99 people watching I think the bidding will get fast and furious in the last hour or so.
