    Sellers obviously don't know anything about the market for these........

    Don't waste your time.

    this has been re woodgrained. if the year is correct, this should still have the planked pattern.... so worth even less than advertised due to innaccurate re woodgraining

    Texas, what makes you think it was rewoodgrained? It looks correct to me.

    I also don't recall any "planked" pattern on these panther wagons, looks normal to me after viewing other 81's online, looks like the exact wood my 80 had....???....rite down to the hubcaps witch were shared for a few years on the early ones (14"s), I still have mine in the shop attic

    And if it has been re-wooded, why would that take away from it's value? (putting aside the completely insane good luck selling asking price)

    I never understand that when people sell something they do not clean it up, in this case vacuum etc, before putting it up for sale and ad with pics!! And then of course at this price!!!

    Apparently the kind of drugs that make you think your car is worth at least double the market value.....let's say the totally hallucinating variety

    And by the way....if he vacuums the carpets, the price will probably increase to 25k

    I believe the planking (black lines) stopped after '68 (at least on Mercs). I guess it was easier than having to line every panel up correctly.

    For the asking price of $20k and time that has passed I'll believe 'ad expired' rather than finally sold:biglaugh:
