It is a really nice looking wagon, but for $30k and has rust popping on hood, fenders, and quarters? At least the seller is showing this. And non-functioning a/c. I'd love to own it and drive it but not at this price!!!

Sadly this thing looks a lot like a low option '67 catalina parts car I paid $600 for (and probably should have worked the seller down even more considering what an undesirable pile it is).
Is that an old car?

I don't know about the exhaust manifolds, but the valve covers are are recent offerings from the aftermarket, I saw a set on a 72 Rachero this summer. I also had never seen them before. The owner said they came out in 2019.

Thats pretty slick hardware.
Looked good enough to have even been a factory upgrade , like a Shelby touched kinda thing. Surprised the aftermarket makes them for such a limited market group.
Thanks for the info.

In the late 70's-early 80's Mr.Gasket used to make some aluminum finned valve covers sort of like that with TRANS AM in raised letters. They would be popular items now if they could bring them back into production.

That one looks more like it came from the pond, beside the barn.

We have a barn and a pond. The pond would be good for you.


Anyways, that's obviously a '74, not 73.

Looks like it was a manual floor shift originally.
There are still a lot of RamAir and RamAir2 Birds waiting to be re-discovered.

Could be a 20k mess, instead of a 3k mess.
