    This is the wagon I want, with the motor/trans I want, but I'm looking for one more complete and in tan/di-noc combo.

    Too much work and too much money. I could buy myself a mint Roadie for that price and have something I could get in and go every day.

    No need to respond that way, I realize you're very picky.

    I meant no offence by it. I just already have a 'project wagon' I'm looking for a get in and go wagon to enjoy while I'm restoring the other.

    Would be a fun car but it's priced a little high.

    I had a '66 Impala 396 wagon in red with black interior. It was a fun car, but the frame was going bad so I sold it. Shoulda kept it and fixed the frame!! Correction, I shoulda kept the '63 BelAir wagon that I sold to get the '66 wagon!!

    And what would someone with your vast station wagon knowledge look to sell a wagon like this for?

    What did you pay for your Chevelle Concourse that "needs a little work"?

    It's always tough when people don't quite agree on what something is worth because there are always at least two sides to the story. If you own it, you're invested in it and think its worth more. On the other hand, if it's not your 'cup-o-tea' it may not seem like it's worth near what the seller thinks. But then you find the person that really wants that wagon and will pay more than most think it's worth. I caught some crap over what I paid for my '58, but it was exactly what I wanted and was happy to do it.

    My opinion is that it might bring that money from the right person, but only if the re-assembly is completed. Most people don't like to finish other peoples projects. They either want to start their own or buy it after it's done.

    Good point, teej. I tend to shy away from unfinished projects too. I'd rather find something that is already done or one that needs work but still has all the parts in their places.

    First rule-of-thumb on old cars is you'll never see all your money come back to you. With few exceptions.
