I say it's a hardtop.
No sedan wagons (??) in 62-64
Man, the potential of that car is crazy insane!

I'm a cheap bastard but I have to disagree on this one. Find me another stick shift 62 wagon not worse than that one . Just one. I'll even give you a couple of years.
I'll be here waiting......
I think the price is in line.
Got a A833 and a 440 engine with a B-Body rear. You could sell those for a grand easily, if not more. That would bring the price down.

The 62 New Yorker wagons are one of my all time favorite mopar wagons...so I love this one too...even if it's lacking a bit of trim. But I have to agree with the others...the price seems fair to me. If it's truely in as nice a shape as he claims, then to find another big block, manual shifted 62 chrysler wagon would be tuff to do.
Would not a 361/3 spd manual be a factory 3 on the tree, not a 3 on the floor?

I think the car is priced fairly concidering the extra parts included. It may be possible to negeotate a better deal if the trans and axle are not included... (I wouldn't change a thing, except the wheels). Or, as someone mentioned..... sell the parts and recoup some money.
I have seen several examples of these early 60's C bodys with 3sp manual and factory floor shifts but can't recall seeing a "three on the tree" example.
I referenced a 62 parts manual and it has no parts listing for manual column shift parts on any C bodys...... But shows the entire floor shifter as the same for Plymouth, Dodge & Chrysler C's
Likely this carried over to at least the 64 models.

I have heard that there were no "3 on the tree's" with the "Astrodome" style dash due to the logistics of making it work.
