    Perhaps you should re-photo? on level ground? Even in the other more level photo it looks like sag. Maybe at at the astronomical price you could ad more photo's like brake and gas pedal shots drivers door panel and dash assembly?

    Not "ripping" on anything commenting on what I see.

    You're absolutely right.

    While no one likes to hear his car criticized, when you post a for-sale ad anywhere, all bets are off. People making comments on this website about the cars we see in craigslist ads and everywhere else is no different than a few guys sitting around a table at McDonald's sipping coffee and talking about the ads we see in the local paper. No one would accuse them of "ripping" someone.

    If you don't want to hear comments, both legitimate and crackpot, about a car you have for sale, don't post it. Such comments go with the territory. A thick skin is what's needed.

    I love everything about this wagon except the price. Who knows what it's worth?
    Also love how it sits. Never rode in a way back rear facing seat and probably never will. But our kids rode in the way back of VW beatles and squarebacks. They also rode way back in our motorhome.
    Those were the first places they'd head after getting in either. Yes a beatle has a way back way behind the seat. Some people get sick just riding to the grocery store. Others enjoy traveling cross country.
    Kinda like a roller coaster is not for everyone.

    The 71-76 GM Clamshell Wagons with the 3rd row seating have forward facing rear seats, would be kinda cool if they were rear facing though...

    Seems like half the people like them facing forward. To me this is the best. Still room in back for a few bags of groceries.
    A lot of planning went into making them forward facing so apparently people complained to the dealers.

    They are quite collectable now! Few survive that are worth saving!

    Nice level ground. And like I said SAG! Rear springs are either worn out or broken. Still a very nice looking car, and solid. Still needs better break/gas pedal pics. Looks like wear on the right inside of the brake pedal, but to far away to tell

    And it comes with a full tank of gas - dealers have used that for years - I would rather have a gift certificate to Ruth Chris Read Comments.JPG

    Where is the "break pedal"? Oh, you mean the brake pedal. I thought something was broken! Give me a break.

    He means RUTH'S Chris. It's a chain of high-end steakhouses.

    Really? The grammar Nazi strikes again? I see your massive intelligence level simply by your comment. If you don't know what I'm talking about and the reason for it, Perhaps you shouldn't be or are not that "Into" cars?

    I wonder if he has seen the awesome paint and rear springs in your old wagon? My guess is no LOL. Wagonkiller you crack me up... Always quick with the keyboard skills. Let's keep down the hostility we all know how you got your screen name in the first place.
