Re: [FWDLK] fer shame - 62 NYker wagon

John,

I liked that movie.

Maybe you should write the seller and ask if he has all the original parts so you can convert it back to stock. To you, it is worth twice as much stock than modified.

Subject: [FWDLK] fer shame - 62 NYker wagon

Wow. The wagon I dreamed about and loved so much has now been butchered up beyond belief. Remember that movie "Can't Buy Me Love" with Patrick Dempsey being the nerd kid, riding the Lawn-Boy mower, and trying to impress the pretty girl in high school? the car they picked for nerd-boy was a 1962 Chrysler NewYorker wagon. In the movie, it was blue with a white roof.

That exact wagon is now for sale on eBay. It's even advertised as the movie car. Except some IDIOT has now butchered it all up with air bags, large wheels, a Ford 9" rear, removed the drivetrain, butchered up the subframe, and totally screwed it up.

Still worth saving... it's a rust-free Arizona NYker wagon with factory a/c... and a 9 passenger wagon..
