Title: Looked at a wagon today
Post by: Pat on March 03, 2012, 03:30:01 PM
Had a guy tell me about a wagon (not his) that was for sale before & not sold. Gave me directions, went & looked at it today. Nobody answered the door, left a note with my name & number. Looks a little rough around the edges, didn't crawl under it with nobody home. Interesting, NO roof rack. That's the way I wanted mine. Didn't see any trim level markings, looked like a split bench seat (IF that was an option on Eagles). Am interested in knowing more about it. Hoping they call me. Waiting for my phone to send the pictures to Photo Bucket & I'll post them up here.

Think I just goofed. Moved them all to my album AMC. Should've done that BEFORE I moved them!!!

Okay, try this. Never done an album before. Not sure if I copied the right thing or not. It's the last batch of pictures, white one.

Interesting looking wagon.  I think most of that crud on the paint would come off with a good washing, plus Maguire's cleaner, polish, and wax.

Could be pretty solid.  Hope they call you back.  My Eagle had rust like that by the windows.  My body guy and I pulled the windows and found a lot more that had to be repaired.

Unfortunately, that's NOT the one I looked at. That was at The Zone one day back in Misery when I went to get some parts.

Yeah I saw that one in there too. That thing looks like a beast.

Just got the last 2 pictures onto Photo Bucket. Basically side views of the whole thing. Thought I had another one of the rear wiper busted off. Guess it didn't take.

Here are the pics of the wagon 1OldFordMan looked at.  (Pat, don't move them in photobucket and they will remain here).

Looks pretty solid to me overall.  Needs a good bath though.  I don't like the hubcaps myself, but I think I might have a set Pat could have that are stock Eagle.  I'll have to look in the shed.

Thanks for the offer Brandon. That was something I wanted before for the one I have. That one will DEFINITELY need a bath. Looks like it's been sitting quite a while, look at the rust stains on the whitewalls. Not to mention all the crud on it.

IF I ever get a call back (or get to talk to somebody about it) & it's still for sale, I'll post the info. in classifieds. Not much chance I'll buy it. Not saying I wouldn't WANT to, just highly unlikely. No money, very little income at the moment. New part-time job isn't getting me many hours. Looks salvageable, till I know more, it's hard to say.

Yeah hard to say.  Who knows.  You might fall into a regular route here soon too.  YOu never know.  Pretty big turn over for drivers around here.  Don't know about your area.

Got about 6 hours today. Still trying to get used to the differences between being an employee of the school district itself versus being an employee of a contractor the district hired to do everything. This morning I was a para (aide). Drove this afternoon. Back when I was an employee of wurst stoodint, driving was the ONLY thing I did. Paras were actual district employees & had nothing to do with the bus lot.

Yeah different places do things in different ways.  Sounds like it is a good start though.

Was thinking about going back yesterday, but leg started hurting (AGAIN). Took a couple Vicodin yesterday afternoon & didn't wake up till after dark. Not sure if I'll go back today or not. Don't have my phone to take pictures IF somebody answers the door & says it's okay to crawl under it & maybe open it to look at the inside. From what I remember, the interior looked pretty basic. I know it didn't have the center console. IF I could get my hands on a camera, I might try it.

GONE!!!!!!!

Went back today to see if anybody would answer the door & it's gone. Old used policeman car with temporary tags at the house now. Kinda ironic, back when I first got my Eagle, I had an old used policeman car I was thinking about trading.
