 Roof racks are great but they can pose one heck of a problem when those well nuts start leakin'...my poor 83 wagon had started to leak...luckily I caught it and repaired it before it filled up my floor board with stagnant water.

yep no sign of roof rack ever being there.  I'm ok with that, I just have to make a trailer hitch reciever for more room.  Fortunately, the paint is still present.

My 86 wagon doesnt have a roof rack either....or roof paint for that matter  ;D

Shane, the roof paint delete is a very rare option indeed!  Really increases the value of the car!

Not many people got that paint delete option as it added another $10,000 to the sticker price. One like this sold on the auction block at Barrett Jacksons a few months ago for i think somthing like $125,000...as you can tell by the picture she is a pampered trailer queen.  :rotfl:

i saw that episode of the auction.  The car was still on the trailer as they brought it on stage, and the trailer was included in the sale price.
