So we finally found a good one after the last one blew up. See: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=203300
MOST CURRENT PIC:
After some careful craigslist searching and planning we drove down to Seward, AK for this beautiful wagon.
We got extremely lucky with this one, very well maintained. Has every service record, owners manual, pamphlet, service manual, pretty much everything.
Had just a broken out rear window and a couple small spots of rust in the holes for a trim piece... both of which I fixed yesterday.
Getting one in Alaska, especially one that spent at least 5 years a quarter mile from the ocean, in this condition is a really hard thing to do. We're going to keep it clean and rust free for as long as we have it.
