Wonder why this wagon is getting passed around so much lately?

 

[polara71]

The guy joined here, looking for a windshield, no?
He gave up already?

 

[azblackhemi]

I should've bought it when it was in Texas for $5500.

 

[mopar preferred]

Didn't even let the ink dry on the paperwork.

Agreed!

Another one getting passed around like a cheap hooker. Sad. Looks like a decent 72.

I just dont understand, you get an old car to tinker with. An obscure one at that...and you don't wanna go hunt parts or pay shipping? He was on a FB page saying he could get a new windshield for like 395 and then 190ish for shipping...thats the deal breaker?

Society has become incredibly unmotivated. The hunt is where I have the most fun and excitement. Finding THAT part!

Some dots aren't connecting.

the original owner had it from 72 till 2023!

 

[Vinny]

It's almost around the corner. Cool car, but I have no more room. You have to love wagons!

 

[Vinny]

What is not connecting? Do you not think it has had the same owner from 1972, until 2023?

I should've bought it when it was in Texas for $5500.

And it was 5k before it sold and them got flipped for 10.5k

Unfortunately this has become the trend for the "hobby". So sad.

I believe the price has been lowered a bit.

Presumably it had the wood grain to start based on placement of the side trim pieces. Am I correct?

Since 1972 New Yorker had 440 as standard engine and these wagons were effectively New Yorkers, was a 400 engine a common from factory engine or has the original 440 been pulled and replaced?

 

[SPS]

Yes 440 was Standard on a New Yorker, but on Wagons the 440 was a option.
Till 71 Wagons had 383 or 440 engines and in 72 the 400 replaced the 383

Thank you for confirming my thought. I later remembered the base engine on Newport and this wagon would have been 383. Thus,s the 400 was a replacement.

Yes, 99% of T&Cs were wallpaper wagons, although there was a woodgrain delete option, I believe.

There had to be. They look good with the trim without the grain.

I'm sure you could delete the woodgrain, but I cannot remember codes or find any factory documentation to that effect off the top of my head. Hence my statement of "I believe". I'm sure...I just cannot prove it.
