Condition

This wagon is a 90% complete project. All that is needed to put it on the road is new wiring and reinstallation of a few parts (headlights. chrome. etc). All the mechanical work has been done. all the old metal has been replaced. A new reliable engine and transmission has been installed. The brakes have been upgraded. The suspension is brand new. Once properly wired you can start driving it and then work on the interior. All the original interior components are still there and can be used as templates for the interior of your choice!

Please note that I am happy to answer any questions you might have. Simply send me an email and I will get back to you. usually within 12 hours.

Price. Terms and Conditions

With regard to this sale and pricing I will be very straight forward. This vehicle has over $12. 00 invested in it already (just parts!). Understanding the classic car market is somewhat soft right now I am pricing the vehicle lower than the cost of the parts with no reserve (simply because I need the space).

I can accomadate most shipping companies for pickup of the vehicle and can be available if you wish to pickup yourself. I have a clear title in hand that I will fedex to a non-local buyer as soon as funds have cleared. Payment can be made via wire transfer or certified check. Neither the car or title will leave my possession until the funds have cleared.
