http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/cto/3449835519.html

This 6-passenger Dodge Coronet Crestwood station wagon is 1 of only 2884 produced in 1971. The Crestwood was the top of the line Coronet wagon and came standard with a high performance 383 cubic inch engine and Carter AVS 4-barrel carburetor, factory dual exhausts, and the Charger dash with 150 MPH speedometer. Other standard equipment included a Torqueflite automatic transmission, power steering, power (front disc) brakes, electric tailgate window, luggage rack, tinted glass, and AM radio. Body is very solid with no rust anywhere, not even in the spare tire well, which is very rare for these wagons. Car was originally medium green metallic but has been repainted in a semi-gloss black finish. Has good tires mounted on Chrysler rallye wheels with 15" on rear and 14" on front. Steering, brakes, transmission, and suspension are in very good operating condition however engine does have an small exhaust manifold leak on drivers side. 5-digit odometer shows 23,485 but most probably 123,485. Needs carpet, seats recovered, and windshield is cracked. Call (904) 525-9146 or (904) 268-3710.

NOTE: This wagon is comparable to the winning Rod Shop Dodge-sponsored L/SA wagon (see photo) that was driven by husband Dave and wife Judi Boertman in NHRA stock competition during the 1971 season. Dave wheeled the wagon to Stock Eliminator at the Winternationals in Pomona and Judi captured the Stock Eliminator tiitle at Englishtown in the first ever husband and wife final when Dave red-lighted in his similarly sponsored J/SA Charger.

 

Very nice looking wagon at a decent price.

 

Great looking wagon. Too bad it is missing all the trim for around the wood grain. The Crestwood came with the wood grain as standard, and I'm not sure it was available with a delete. Would be great to see this one brought back to what is should be, a smaller, but just as luxurious, Town & Country.

 

Bargain if you ask me... I would have preferred the green though...

 

This car reminds me a LOT of my Satty. My car was that color green as well. I like this one for sure, even the satin black looks good IMHO.

 

What is with all the satin/flat black cars lately? Is it a fashion statement?

It's the "rat rod" look.

Plus, a real paint job is so damn expensive these days that, for a lot of people, this is the only affordable alternative.

 

Looks like a real nice mopar wagon with a great start and a great price.
Appears solid too.

 

I agree with Pat here, I think it has become a "look" but it's an inexpensive alternative to a custom paint job.

 

Sweet wagon
