I wonder if they belong to Steve Barnes. What do you think Dave @polara71?

I bet the car was unused for a long time and he had to pull the gas tank out. Spring shackles flipped when he had the springs disconnected and he can't get them flipped back. I've done it before, and it can be a real ***** to get them back into the proper position. Since he's not interested in fixing the rear window with a $15K asking price, I'm not surprised he doesn't want to mess with the shackles anymore, along with probably a bunch of other things that need attention.

That thing is about ten grand OVER priced..
An almost NO option car
and the only electric window,, doesn't work...
The front seat is split but covered to hide it..
Brakes don't work, suspension needs work.....
It is a clean looking wagon that needs some love...
Just not at 15 grand...

I saw this car last night on Facebook. What I noticed was that in almost every picture the hood was open. I was wondering if it would close? I finally saw a picture of it closed.

He's nuts on almost all those cars...
I actually know what may be happening regarding this.... mine came the same way off the carrier when delivered. The clue is the arched leaf springs.
The rear shackles have flipped forward and locked up against the body.
Need to put it on a lift, loosen the shocks, flip the shackles back as you raise up the rear end with a couple of screw jacks. Easy fix.
Not so easy is the wrong woodgrain. The correct Dinox (or very similar) rosewood is now available so this is a big no no.
But the asking price is interesting. A bit high but room to move.
This is a fairly low optioned car: no rear step up handles, no power windows, no power seats..... no FM radio... no tilt telescopic steering wheel....no power antenna.... etc. etc. Town & Country wagons were the top of the line and usually loaded. But not this one.
It is ;or appears to be in good shape and the mileage is probably ok.
That said, I wonder what it will sell for. I think it’s worth maybe $9-10k.... IMO.

When I removed the previous owners lowering blocks from my wagon, the shackles also flipped during reassembly. Initially it was overlooked, but I figured it out after quite a bit of confused struggling.
Until more is corrected on this T&C I believe it's going to sit a long time at the asking price.

3M....I think they actually have it in the proper self adhesive material. You just need to dig around this and the 3m websites. I need to get some just to have for mine..... eventually. For now, it’s iriginal and still looks ok but the roof rack strips need replacing from damage before I got it.
