Says it "will be" running, which makes me wonder why he didn't just wait a few days to get the car running before listing it. Body looks great. Factory AC. Love the roof rack. Not many pics of the interior, so no idea what other options could be lurking inside. | ||

Expert Posts: 1267 Location: San Antonio TX | WTF is this???? Are these all ashtrays or something???? And what's that next to the spotlight handle on the passenger side??? Another ashtray???? Did the previous owner drive around with a bunch of chain smokers or something? There's even matches all over the floors.... | ||

Expert Posts: 3967 Location: DFW, TX | My dad's old Mark IV had seven ash trays in it from the factory, and I thought that seemed like a lot. Wow! The person that owned this wagon traveled with someone that was a smoking connoisseur. I bet you can still smell it today. | ||

Expert Posts: 2524 Location: Houston | It is a wagon after all...it was most likely bought by a family man who smoked, and had a wife who smoked, and naturally their 6 children also learned to enjoy relaxing with an unfiltered Camel after a long day at preschool. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 963 Location: San Antonio, TX | Ok, but what are the special red knob ashtrays for? I've seen some weird goofy stuff people do to their cars. This one is definitely up there on the strangeometer. | ||

Makes me wonder just how much these people smoked that they needed a dozen ashtrays in addition to a huge mason jar. | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 309 Location: Western Colorado | It does look like the dragon has a cigarette hanging out of it's mouth! Does anyone know if this car sold or did the owner end the listing the second time for reasons unknown?? I had talked to the owner and requested pictures of the engine number and underside photos. After that request he hasn't responded. He did tell me wanted at least 23K for the car. Any comments on that amount for the smoking dragon car? Bob | ||
