Sold for over 11 grand!
Unfortunately it is now too valuable to take to Walmart to get the groceries.
It will now be a Saturday night Dairy Queen car with angry woodpecker

floor mats from K-mart.

Holy cow! That's so clean it looks like a sales brochure!!

At first I thought the car was in Lakeland........

 

[polara71]

I was watching that with great disappointment

I dont think so Stan, no one is buying that to do what you suggest to it

I meant it will never be used for what wagons were made for in the first place, a grocery getter. Now it's a Dairy Queen queen.
Verts were made for their own certain function as a car and you can still use them today for that same purpise. That wagon will never have sun burned kids with sand everywhere coming home from the beach.

You dont know that.....if it were mine it would have.

 

[commando1]

You are like nobody else.......

I believe there are those who would leave it as a capsule, those who would use it sparingly, those who would modify it, and those who would use it as a cruiser, to the store, cruises and to the beach hauling the kids and grand kids................. That would be me and I am not alone. I would easily wager a paycheck that most on this board feel the same way I do about it

I'd drive the piss out of it. What's the point of owning a car that isn't driven?

 

[commando1]

It's gonna end up going to DQ once week with it washed and waxed before and after the 3 mile round trip, by a retired guy who initially looked at it because it reminded him of his grandfather's Dynamic 88 from 50 - 60 years ago.

Fine, then it will be well preserved for a few more years.

Now you're talking. Nothing cooler than a track wagon.

There's a guy at my local track that has a 1963 Mopar wagon with a 413. Pretty cool and consistently runs low 10's naturally aspirated.

 

[Stormer]

Pure track car?

 

[1978 NYB]

Pure track car?

Oh Ya.........for decades.

I'd drive that wagon everywhere, AND most likely juice the motor up a bit to lay down rubber in front of a Xmas tree from time to time.

 

[polara71]

There it is, the general consensus is drive it....

Im thinking its gonna get flipped because it sold cheap for what it is
