    I will probably hire a transport company but if they can't pick it up in a week or two I will drive down and pick it up myself. This deal went much smoother than the last one.

    Yes you are right Fullsizelover. I would love to have all four of them but I am running out of garage space and I would have to talk the wife into letting me buy one more. That's probably not going to happen because she doesn't understand the wagon thing.

    The wagon was delivered on Thursday and I can only think of two words to describe it. Derby wagon! It would take a ton of money to get it back to driver quality. Rust wise it's really not to bad but it needs new paint and a bunch of interior work. Had to take it to a mechanic because I couldn't get it running. I will take some pictures when I get it back home. Wish I could save it but it's not looking good.

    If I can get it running it would make a good winter beater but that's about it.

    If it becomes a derby wagon I might be interested in the motor. Hoping to save the turbo motor in my Trans Am but I might have to have a backup plan

    I'm 99.9% sure that it will become a derby wagon. Swanny I will let you know when I get the motor pulled out.

    Too bad, AK. I was psyched to see you bought it and that it'd be saved, but if it's too far gone, it's too far gone. Darn.
