My "new" '76 Wagon

Does the value drop much for the stick 3 speed?
I wouldn't worry about desirability. The big question is do you like it? Is it a 3 speed column shift? That would be neat to me, but I like quirky.JakeBlues wrote:Didn't know about the wheels. Thanks for that info. Any info on the 3 speed stick? Are there many around? Is that desirable in any case?
The color is not original and it's a bad paint job. I'm a little worried to find out what's underneath. There is no rust to speak of. It was originally a U.S. Forest Service vehicle. The interior is a dark green, almost black. You can see some of the original light lime green from the USFS. Has some nasty bench seats. Don't know if they are original. I have my eye on some black leather seats taken out of a GM. Going to paint a dash I bought on ebay. The floors are all kind of a truck bed lining material. I got in a large roof basket today to put on it.
I've just got to work on the suspension and try to get a better ride out of her. I feel like I took an ol' fashioned beating after a drive!
