    Way too much for the rust it has. I can get one 100% nicer right here for that money.

    LOL 100% nicer yeah because the clean round back wagons flow free in your area Wagon Killer LOL. I bet you can find one in any color combination you want for that money too with any options... but none came in purple not even in the 70s imagine that I wonder why that is LOL.

    The car is very nice the only rust on it is in the battery box area. And it has a PERFECT rear window seal. Na It's silver/grey but has no poopy woodgrain. No they are hard to find here just stating for the rust this has it's not a 5000 car. I don't give a flying monkeys azz if you liked the one I had or not, it was better than old man tan and faded woodgrain. and it sure as HELL wasn't rotted out like this is.

    Did you look at the rear 1/4's? Bubbles and rust lift everywhere. It's not bad but it definitely needs serious work. And once you start ya know whats gonna happen

    Yup, definitely. Looking at the spare tire area in the one photo it's got some bubbling going on - it's been repainted before and there's some odd spots in a few of the other photos. It may very well be nice, but I'd want to see it in person first. Doing quarters or windows on these cars is not for the faint of heart.

    Both rear quarters are bubbling - bad news. And there is a reason the factory exhaust never exited under the rear bumper.

    Mine exited out under the rear bumper and THAT I like about this because it is FAR enough out it will not come back in the car. My olds had it in the factory location factory style and the damn thing gassed me out. I put a ridiculous looking chrome extension on it(stuck way out) and it remedied the problem. Also if these were not sticking out as far as they are it would gas ya out too. I had to do em long like this on my last one

    These clamshells are getting harder and harder to come by. Interior is almost impossible to source besides carpet and seat covers. So if the interior is decent, and it appears to be it's worth the money.
