Well You got yourself a USPS bucket... [;)]

That's a plus... [:D]

I was gonna say you've got all the glass which can be a problem sometimes....
But you need a windshield big time... Or jus'pretend it's there anyways.

Probably 10 grand or better. Then it needs another 30-40 grand min. in restoration!

Frame is great, dash is great,all gauges intact. Birdcage around window good. Firewall great, with data plate still attached. Tailgate is great aside inside bottom needs repaired.

So did you buy it or not?

Congrats, you got yourself another rental...$500 a month?

As big of a car as it is, junk price would be at least $400. It being a wagon of which there probably aren't many of those I would say $3000.

$6,500.00

Here is a more advanced restoration but still a far cry from finished

I've lost interest.

The biggest problem today is finding parts and then what they cost. People that have the parts think they are gold. A couple years back, I was at Carlisle in Pa and a vender had a grille & parking lights for my 56 Ford Crown Victoria. He said I could have the grille for $3000.00 and the parking lights for another $3000.00. I told him he was nuts & walked away. I have around $30,000 in my car & did all the work myself except the upholstery. It's an expensive hobby.

If it wasn't a Nomad it wouldn't be worth much.

I always liked the Nomads. Sell the remaining glass, shave the doors, chop the top, bag the ride, flat black paint or Mako Shark paint job and go baby go. To make her go, what engine? LS1 stoked to 383, no cats and '70's Corvette style exhust next to the doors.
