Nice color on that Road Runner.
The only other B body that I have owned was a 68 Plymouth Satellite Sport Station Wagon.
The seller was a local flipper. Nice guy, the type that wasn't into selling cars to get rich, just out to make a few bucks.
The car was a 318/904. It came from Fort Bragg CA, a coastal town that I refer to as "Rio Linda by the sea." My understanding is that cars near the coast develop rust in unusual places. This one did.
Be leery about lumping all California cars into the category of No RUST, clean metal. It had rust on top of the fenders, on parts of the floor, around the door hinges, etc.
This wagon could have been saved. I tried to sell it whole. I paid $600 and with a little bit of work, got it running and driving. No takers at $1800, $1500 or even $1200. After a few months, I parted it out. It had the Sport Satellite/GTX grille. The dash and guages were nearly perfect. I made $300 on the grille. $300 for the dash and guages. $250 for the 8 3/4 axle and another $400-500 for misc other things.
Of course, after it was cut up and scrapped, I'd still get some latecomers calling....Hey, I would have given you $1500 for the car!!!
