Upstate NY

Hi.. new member from upstate NY Currently have a '00 Saturn wagon still going with 343,000 miles and a Dodge Ram 2500 Quad. I also have a '78 New Yorker but i'm thinking about parting with it and looking into getting a big old wagon instead. I love the looks of the 71-72 Ford right now and browsing around for a fixer. It's so hard to find anything older here because of the demo derby plague.. heck they'll think nothing of even dropping over $1,500 for a fixer to just destroy.

Anyway.. just introducing myself.. this forum looks like a great resource for us wagon lovers

 

Obviously the Saturn has had normal maintenance.

I like you like the style of the 71-72 Fords.

 

343000 miles? Holy cow. That car owes you nothing!!
Welcome to the forum. I think you'll find most of us agree with your sentiments on the early 70's Ford long roofs.

 

You have more miles than the space shuttle on that baby!!! Welcome!!!

 

NY...I see your getting to meet a few folks. Those old wagons do have their charms. Good luck with the search.

 

Hey NY, here's a guy selling a '71 Country Sedan. Check it out.

Thanks for the welcome everyone

Yea the Saturn doesn't owe me much of anything.. I haven't even had to do too much to it yet.. original owner changed the oil every 3,000 up to 150k when I bought it. I try to do the same and repair things before they fail. She only uses about a quart every 2,000 which is great for Saturn 1.9's in general LOL

Thanks for the link.. i'm in contact with them

 

Those Saturns are amazing.....I know a few folks that have rolled up some BIG miles on them.

 

That's excellent. Good luck and be sure to keep us in the loop with your talks with GT6. I hope you two can come to terms.

 

NY...good luck with the hunt
