Back in the Wagon Game!

Subject: Back in the Wagon Game! Sun Dec 19, 2010 6:57 pm

Since my Caprice is encased in a mound of snow, and my driveway is plowed in until spring, I was starting to get a little B-Body withdrawal.

So while searching CL, I came across this ad:

96 roadmaster - $1100 (roscoe)
Date: 2010-12-05, 6:51PM CST

96 roadmaster 140k fair cond little rust very dependable car 1100.00 obo no trades or barters no emails will be responded to either
no calls after 9 pm 815 973 5880 thanks

* Location: roscoe
* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Long Story Short, I pestered this guy until he gave it to me for $700.

The Good:

Clean Hood, Doors, Roof, Good Bumpers, Good Stainless, Fair Interior. 141K Miles. Hot heat, working A/C, Newer Brakes.

The Bad:

Rusty B's, D's and Floors, Ugly Ass Trailer Hitch on the Back, 2.56 Open Diff, Needs all New Black Molding.

The Ugly:
Driver's side Quarter is AWOL. Nothing Left. Investing in a couple cans of Great Stuff for that.

Only pic so far:

Work in Progress for sure, but something I can have some fun with while the salt is down.

Looks like a good winter car. You can't lose money on that price.
