Meet Fred, a great daily driver or a solid start at a full restoration. This was my main mode of transportation for a year (except December-March) and it took great care of me and my three year old son. It’s extremely rare to find one of these tanks with such great body condition at virtually no engine miles. Engine: 3,832. Body: 205,177. Transmission: about 10,000. Title is free and clear. The following has been done over the past decade: 1) Rebuilt engine installed February 20152) Brakes in good condition; recently replaced and have about 80% life left on them. 3) New Ball Joints 4) Non-factory radio with USB as well as four new Boston A speakers installed 5) Complete VAC system over-haul; converted to R134 – needs a recharge 6) New windshield and gasket (However, it still needs a right rear door rubber seal) 7) New tires 8) 7 Complete Tune Ups (filters, belts, etc. etc. etc.)9) New tailgate Shocks10) New Right Front & Right Rear Door Stops11) New Aux Water Pump12) New Climate Control Unit13) New Control Arms14) Trailer Hitch15) Rebuilt Wiper Assembly16) New Ignition Tumbler and Keys17) The previous owner replaced the transmission in fall of 2013. Has a “robust” shift. I replaced the dipstick tube, and the trans pan but it doesn’t sit quite flush against the trans body and therefor leaks if transmission levels are high. Otherwise shifts how and when it needs to and is in no immediate need of replacement if you don’t mind the robust shift.He needs the following: Cruise control amplifier. Radio antennae does not go up and down smoothly. Vacuum locks recently stopped working, but the car still locks manually. Some minor cracking in the woodwork around the radio (see pics). Headlight doors have some cracking (see pics). Right rear door needs rubber seal. RPM gauge stopped working recently. Some wear on driver’s seat (see pics). There are two tiny rust spots low on driver's side (see pics).As for the ride, he handles like a champ. Some minimal extra movement in the steering wheel – this only started about 30 days ago. Also, when I first got Fred I got a flat on the expressway and it knocked the alignment off a bit. Pulls slightly to the right. The wagon was painted 15 years ago…it looks good from ten feet, but there is a little overspray. The interior needs very little; it’s very nice. Carpet is all original carpet loop carpet and has the typical fading in the rear (no third seat by the way). Some minor spotting as to be expected for its age (see pic). Header is in perfect condition. Overall I’d give the interior 7.5/10. Bottom line, this is a very well sorted out 98% rust-free wagon with a new heart and needs very little work. This car has been given a lot of love and care. A pleasure to drive. Please feel free to ask any questions or to request more photos.
