So I finally got the wagon home. She is a lot rougher than told and not a driver at all. I almost did not make her home. The tires are very squared and the brakes became non existent on my drive home.
Here are some pics

How about a little back story to spice things up?

So the back story is that I bought this car sight unseen from a old guy in Montana. Told me it was a great driver car and the price was $1600.00. Then I tried to get the car shipped to Canada right after the sale and the seller did not have the title in his name. So after 4 long months of back and forth plus him having a heart attack, the car was finally titled to the seller so he could sell to me and the border could release the car to be exported to Canada. So with in a couple days the car was finally shipped to me at my work.
Obviously the condition of the car did disappoint me but I like a challenge.

well—you were told the truth. You were told it was a great driver car, and apparently that is completely 100% accurate............just like he said———
It WAS a great driver car. It sure WAS. I bet you never asked how long ago “WAS” was........ I’m glad it’s home for you though. :) That seat cover on the front seat is the same cover I had put on my 1980 F250 !!!!! Lol, Dfox

For $1600 I reckon it’s actually pretty good…that interior looks phenomenal for the price…outside and underneath looks pretty solid too…patina’s cool now remember…chuck some salt flats on it and you’ll be the envy of all the local hipsters

Agreed. Although not as advertised, $1600 is a good deal, based on the pictures.
