Not mine.

This car has a 440 and power windows and seats. It seems loaded (including, unfortunately, Auto-Temp II). It is being advertised on Kijiji for CAD16k, which is equivalent to less than USD12k at today's exchange rate. For US buyers, of course, there is the admin hassle of bringing the car across the order.

The exterior and interior seem to be in excellent shape. It would be helpful for the seller to post pics of the underside and lower quarters, as there seems to be discoloration -- rust protection, dirt, who knows?). The exterior color Looks like Y2 Yellow, while the interior looks like D7L3 -- the only cloth and vinyl combo (beige parchment Corwin cloth & vinyl) that seems to have been available that year, even though that combo was apparently not recommended.

I see no tears in the passenger compartment, and no scuff marks on the panels in the rear compartment. These facts would support the claimed super-low mileage of 24k kilometers (under 15k miles).

This car presents an interesting comparison with CP46T3C175164, a yellow 1973 9-passenger T&C wagon currently for sale by @Robert Meier's grandfather.

Could it be they sprayed "standard" rust areas? See bottom of door also.

@Fury Pursuit It seems to have a plethora of yellow Zeibart plugs. All you have to do is buy this car, :poke:
 
For the record,my Waygun had the same Ziebart treatment and probably was done at one of the Toronto locations since Waygun did come from a Toronto dealer.
My doors were done the same way. Ditto entire underhood area.
I had since removed the coating from the bottom of the doors and under the hood area with good results and no damage to the original paint.
 
Loos like the cloth inserts of the seats have been replaced? Does not match the rest of the interior--but I could be wrong

Nope, that fabric looks original and correct to me. That's why I mentioned D7L3. While I am generally not a fan of beige, the way the fabric loops around the vinyl insert is cool IMHO -- and it seems perfectly preserved on this car (no rips, tears, or scuff marks that I can see).

Thanks for clarifying that! it does look different!
 
My 73 Fury I also was a zeibart victim.... So it's fair to say the majority of Ontario 73 Mopar's got the Ziebart before they were picked up from the dealer...

If anyone needs eyes on this one, it's not far from me at all..

I see what you mean, but I did a quick search of fuselage.de and it shows that interior. Seems dark compared to the rest but I like it.

My 1973 Plymouth Satellite wagon was sold new from Paul Willison,Toronto.
The application of the Ziebart is exactly like the T&C.
From underneath they sprayed up toward the firewall and left the top portion alone
(Engine removed for clarity LOL!!)

I am assuming they taped off the fenders...

With lots of rags,varsol and nylon brushed it comes off ..

The paint under the rustproofing looks preserved. :thumbsup:
 
Light colored interiors like this one, especially on station wagons; show wear-and-tear pretty early in life. This one shows none, so the mileage claim may be good. The pedals will also tell...……...
