Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Described as a station wagon, in fact this is a sedan with a luggage area that opens up to the rear seat. Pushbutton radio, remote spotlight, roof rack, siren. A poor, superficial redo that deserves better. worn interior paint, pitted interior chrome, new plywood folding floor in back. Dry, surface rusted old chassis. Solid and usable but nothing to be proud of.

Market commentary

No Reserve. Early Thursday. Sold at B J Scottsdale in 2003 for $14,040 and not undervalued here in West Palm three years later. The fact that Burney Fire District in Redding, California at one time slid a stretcher in through the trunk door does not make this a station wagon.
