Well with the overpriced’72 Squire on here for $30k you can have mediocre examples of 1972 most popular wagon offerings.
"put a good running late 1970's 5.7 350 in it" Chevrolet did not make a 350 engine with a passenger side dipstick until 1980. I also think there is an extra number in the BIN price. Unfortunately closer to a parts car than ever being road worthy again.
Looks like your random 1980s truck motor, making all of 135HP. I mean I get that dreams get put on the back-burner, but that's a lot of cash for a car that has sat for 18 years and gotten pretty damp and mildew-y from the looks of it.
Yeah that rear cargo area looks like a boll weevil convention. Plus there’s some rust along the bottom. I’d put $10-15 grand on his asking price and get a good one. You ain’t putting the paddle to that car for under another 10-15k.
Well he either got an offer he couldn’t refuse, or he got mad and went home. At $13.5 there were still one to many ones in that price for what that car was.
