Eddie, you've got some explaining to do. Either you are confusing me or you are using words too complicated for me to understand...
If I got the VC, it would prolly get the name "big mama" or something like that...

All cars are money pits - the wagons will just be more.

I would be looking at it seriously if I lived close by and had money.

Yea, that is what I am afraid of - rust, bidy work, and paint. I do not have any body experience or a place to park the car while i work on it... Sadly, I have the $$, but not the space and not as much time either.

If it had a 350 it would be worth maybe 2-3K at the most to me in that condition. That car may go for 4-5K?

Value sounds about right. If I got it, I would like to get it roadworthy and make it a reliable daily driver. I should be able to sell again if I need to.

I would be mad at you either way, so I should just pick one... J/K
I may love it then regret it, or regret not getting it at all...

Lady gets 19 on the highway, so 7 city with a 455 sounds right. Not sure if that would make a good daily driver tho. It would be great for embarassing "sports car" drivers when they get dusted by a big old woody station wagon!
Dang - I got myself between a rock and a hard place on this!
