BarnFind 1975 245
I just towed this home two nights ago. (1/25/15)
1975 245. Production date Jan 1975 Was in storage since 1981  Previous owner drove it few blocks about 4 years ago. His warehouse was getting retrofitted for earthquake protection I switched out the front tires for the tow. One of the fronts was badly damaged. According to the PO he put new tires before putting it in storage. Big thanks to Luke and Ken for helping me get it out.

I'm impressed how well that paint looks after years of turds sitting on it.
Nice find.

I expected it to look the same underneath. Just more proof of how good paintjobs used to be.

the PO did more damage to the paint by dragging objects across the body or leaning **** against it

Honestly this would make an awesome candidate for a nice good clean-up...
And then yank that ****in' motor out and drop in something badass because no smog. |

Nice score, not many early wagons with good paint, and no rust around the windshield and rear quarter windows.
