The Good.
It's a Volare Premier Station Wagon. A/C was apparently recently rebuilt and blows cold. Interior is very nice. Back seats look like they've never been sat in. Dash pad is not cracked. 318 runs well and will run even better once the old gas is out of it. Frame is very good.

The Bad.
Needs ball joints and tires. The clock doesn't work.

The ugly.
There's a hole in the passenger side floor. Not huge but it's there. The dog legs need attention and there's the ever popular Canadian rust blisters forming at various points on the car. Also the wife of the owner mashed the passenger side against a cement pillar. Did well too. Both doors are nicely crunched.

All in all it's a very cool wagon and a one owner car that was serviced regularly. I just don't have the time, space or resources to take on another project.

I'm going to post a kijiji ad for $1500 obo but anyone I know here can have it for $1000. I think that's reasonable.

The car is in Toronto Ontario Canada and is unplated and uncertified. I'll take pictures of anything specific that somebody wants to see if interested.

PM me with any questions.

Here's a walk-around of the car.



Thanks for looking.

I hate to see it go already, but it's good to recognize when you're going to be spread too thin. I really hope one of the guys on this, or even another F-body board, will grab it and do right by it.
If you're going to list it locally, I'd suggest listing it too high for some high-school kid or lower-income family to consider just so it can be beaten to death. When you get someone that's truly interested in the car for what it is, you can let on that you'll take much less but want it to go to the right home. I did that with my Imperial, and the home it found was so right I got it back a couple years later for the same price. ;)

Truly not a bad idea. However.....even listed at $1500 I've only had 3 replies. One is actually coming to look at it today. The reality is I need to get it out of my buddy's dad's driveway and I have a feeling it'll be hard to move even at this price. Doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in the oldies up here.

There are a lot fewer "mechanics" now, mostly parts replacers that may not know just how reliable those beasts can be. . . sad truth. Hopefully someone with genuine interest will take it off your plate soon!

It was great meeting you and your lovely wife Sir. I'm very happy the car is going to such a great owner.
