Just guessing this won't be for sale very long.
 
No pics of the drivers seat so its probably ripped. I see rust on the bottom of the drivers quarter. Paint looked oxidized. Looks like a nice car but I would want an in person inspection.
 
It was probably priced too low given the market that still exists for a wagon like that. The reality, however, is that the car would have probably needed at least another $20K of work to get it to turnkey. Those wagons are somewhat unique in their design and not so easy to service.
It would have been informative to see what the headliner looks like in a hot weather area part of the country, what the seats look like especially in the front and 133K miles means everything must be gone through. I would have thought a 383-4 bbl engine would have had dual exhausts and there has been exhaust work on it and it doesn't look all that well done.
 
I think the biggest plus for this wagon is the desirable color inside and out and the fact that the woodgrain looks usable as it is. Both those things drew my attention to it.
 
I had the pleasure of working on one of these last year between February & December.

If the wagon in the ad sold for $10K, somebody stole it.
This wagon is a sleeper. The owner needs to start a thread.....:poke:
 
The owner of that wagon in your garage also stole it! But I am glad he did...................................its in a better place than it was! Lookin good.......................
 
Still for sale on FB. Great color, and a well optioned one. It must have been a dealer promo car back in the day.
 
Well, this GB2 N-code T&C now seems to have sold.
