I once passed on a dry desert 1955 Chevy four door wagon, not a speck of rust, with a bad 6 cylinder, but with a good extra 6 in the back....for $100...because "who wants a 4 door station wagon?" Man, I was stupid in the 70's.

$4300? I wouldn't think that thing would be worth that kinda money in that condition. Wow. :-\

The So. Cal. Wildfires of a couple of years ago produced dozens of such examples. Most went to scrap.

C'lines installed to roll the thing out've the lot it was in. Gotta leave with class, you know... ;)

Ahhhhh...ok!

Crazy, looking at the door gap at the top of the rear door, it appears the whole back of the car must have started to droop from the heat or something.

Sad.

I was taught early on that heat does nasty things to metal and if it's hot enough to boil the paint off then the car is pretty much worthless. That's why I questioned the selling price on that wagon. I sure wouldn't touch it. :

Canada overpaid on that one.
