Location: Lubbock, TX | My old car. Sold it back in 2015 or 2016 at the Hollywood Wheels Auction at Amelia Island, FL. I believe it sold for $34-36k, can’t remember the exact figure at the moment. It really is a sweet car. Solid body, mint interior, and loaded with factory options. My dad bought it out of the Ellingson Car Museum in Minnesota back when I was a kid and it was a frequent favorite family car while I was growing up. Looking forward to seeing it again this weekend in Dallas.

Do they have four backup lights?
Pretty sure the answer is NO. Tailight above the back-up light and a chrome piece below the back-up light:

The lights in the rear bumperette is a Plymouth only feature only and was not available at DeSoto & Chrysler. Not sure about Dodge
@ Peter

No, it was exactly as you see it here. Never needed to do anything to it. It’s been repainted and the engine has been resealed and repainted before we got it, but not rebuilt.
Good memories.

:inlove:
Sadly no. I’ve changed computers 3 times since then, so those pics would be buried in a backup file somewhere. if they have the hood open this weekend I’ll grab a pic.

Location: Lubbock, TX | To be fair, the car was never restored, just repainted and the engine resealed and repainted. Interior and chassis are all original. Good car worth about $35-40k, but stuck with an owner who wants significantly more.

Location: Connecticut | It was a smart move by RM to hire a professional photographer. Photos are sensational. A couple of things I noticed: Jiffy Jet bag old and crusty. Incorrect driver's p/w switch. Shield medallions missing on roof. Sheet metal screws thru door panels - ugh ! Also, I find it hard to believe that the interior is original. If nothing else, the foam inside the seats would have disintegrated. There would at least be some signs of wear on the driver's seat. Wire wheels look out of place. Still a real nice wagon. Agree that it's 35-40 on a good day, assuming the car runs well and all the power accessories, including the a/c, work well. Ron |

Actually, the description says 'Beautifully maintained older restoration'. So it would be reasonable to assume that everything's been restored/refurbished. Ron |

Location: Lubbock, TX | Considering my dad owned it for 14yrs, and knew the previous owners, I’d be willing to bet I know far more than the current seller. It’s a repaint, rechrome and repainted engine. That’s it.

Hard to dispute when there are pictures under the car on RM link that show the car unrestored underneath. |
