    We've seen some ads on these with low miles 'asking' in the 5 digits....
    If it's as nice as it appears it could be, it actually might be under-priced by $1-2,000.

    Definitely need more pics though.
    If there's a 'wagon guy' shopping within driving distance, they're on the way to see it.....NOW.

    Looks like it lost the wire wheel covers along the way and acquired the aluminum wheel option....

    At $215.00 those were not cheap. The wire covers would be $411.00 in today's money. The aluminum wheel was listed as standard on the window sticker.

    I have to say I really like the quote towards..."Suicide Seatbelts". I know some have no problem with them being in the door, yet myself.... just something about them gives me the creeps and for that reason I would never buy any car with door mount seat belts no matter how stunning the cars condition even at a basement bargain price......... unless I was just buying to flip.

    ..........yet I owned back in the day sooo many cars with no seat belts period, sliding all over the mile long bench seat with no more that the death grip on the steering wheel while banking around corners. Left corners were kinda OK, right corners your friends sliding into you............
    .......good gawd!!!:rofl2:

    There are a few cases of people dying from being ejected out from those belts or so I heard.

    Oh hey, looks like Volkswagen had the idea long before G.M. did! Right, "The annoyance of putting on a seatbelt"...?

    The very last vehicle my dad bought was a 1979 Ford Thunderbird, and it had those belts. Motorized shoulder harness attached to the door, with a completely separate lap belt.

    My dad was very 'old school', wasn't car-savvy, and didn't really understand the importance of any belts, even after totaling their last car before the Thunderbird in an accident. Dad got banged up pretty good. With the T-Bird, dad fussed about the door-mounted belt always being in his way, and he NEVER used the lap belt unless someone nagged him.

    Wow. I sure messed up that post.......
    The T-Bird they bought was actually a 1990 model - 2nd year of the 'new' style.
    I must have been falling asleep......

    We had the same Tbird with those annoying seat belts, if u tried getting out of the car real fast the belt would get wrapped around your head lol. I blew it up racing someone home from college, my poor dad, i think i blew the motor in 3 of his cars. He did have the worst cars though, most smoked and all leaked oil bad and i got the driveway pics to prove it. He is lucky no one called the EPA on him. I think him having junkers is why i keep my cars so clean and take really great care of them.
