    Some highlights/upgrades:

    -103,000 miles (no its not 203,000)
    -big brake conversion
    -rear disk brakes
    -all new brake line and fuel line everywhere (done right with the proper factory style connectors)
    -HO intake+throttle body
    -Power windows, power mirrors, power locks, auto headlamps, cruise (currently not working but i intend to fix it),
    -Tow package with all the coolers, 3.55 trac-lok rear
    -HPP's with good tires
    -Interior is in excellent shape
    -Newer CD player/radio
    -comes with another tailgate, quarter panel pieces, and rare rear spoiler/wing
    -newer custom exhaust with cats and flowmasters
    -wood vinyl is in excellent condition
    -1 year old KYB shocks all around
    -New water pump, chain, cover gasket, lower intake manifold gasket
    -Baumann shift kit in transmission, level one.
    -newer radiator and hoses, thermostat
    -Brand new battery
    -3G alternator conversion

    Negatives:
    -Rear windows need motors
    -rust on the quarters
    -Tailgate rusting in an odd spot
    -clear coat is peeling on the roof and just starting on the hood
    -has heat and A/c but both are a little weak- i believe it is something to do with the ATC sensor
    -rear tailgate refuses to lock
    -has the lopo knock when cold, a common problem that can usually exist for another 100K miles with proper oil changes

          Phil. Look into ebay. May potentially be worth it if not too much profit is taken away from fees and such. Some wagons go for some good coin. may get lucky.

              Oh man, bring it back to Michigan, Mark. This wagon originally started in Michigan at Star Lincoln Mercury of Southfield (look at the last picture).

              If you don't I might have to convince the wife that I need it. I need a new DD and the price is in my range (compared to my current top candidates).

                  Just tell her all the balik bayan boxes will fit in the rear of the wagon so she can make a trip to the Philippines. You will be safe !
                  Put a US flag sticker on your side of the rear window, Philippine flag sticker on her side. More points for you.
                  Get her to choose personalized license plates in her language. You can buy any car you want.

                  To bad my wife does not care in the least about my cars. Her last comment to me was " You can buy any car you want. Just pay me the same amount that you paid for the car. "

                    SOLD! Mark AKA Grand1 is bringing the wagon back to Michigan where it began its story. I'm glad it went to someone on here who can appreciate it

                          First off, want to give a shoutout to Brown Muscle as he completely prepped the wagon for my trip back....oil change, extra fluids, MANY extra parts...just an awesome experience; glad that our little car club has real stand up people. Made the 11hr trip in one full swoop, easy gliding as the wagon runs awesome! Going to take care of Marge, her name stands.
