I don’t foresee my wagon ever being worth a ton unless fully restored and then kept for another 20 years in great shape. However, maybe it’s a sign these cars might just go like the square body Chevrolet truck. Obviously we will think it’s wild since it used to be so cheap picking up a old Box, but people wanting to enjoy a bygone era are gonna pay to good money for decent examples to buy something for nostalgia purposes.
My Cars:
-1964 Comet 202 (116K Miles) - Long Term Project
-1986 Dodge D-150 Royale SE (112K Miles) - Slowly Getting Put Back Together
-1987 Grand Marquis Colony Park LS (325K Miles) - April 2017 + September 2019 POTM Winner
-1997 Grand Marquis LS (240K Miles) - The Daily Workhorse & March 2015 + January 2019 POTM Winner
I’m surprised that I still see so many in here who refuse to believe the cars we love are no longer cheap and plentiful. It used to be the same story on the fox body forums. Those folks finally realized that time had marched on. It’s not 1995 anymore.

Prices (for many reasons) are crazy right now and many folks are selling garbage for big bucks. Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

What I Help Maintain: 1996 CV / 1988 CV / 1988 Tempo
Clean wagons bring good money. I could easily see him getting 10k for it.
Sometime I think I should have left my 87 bone stock. I paid $3k for it 11 years ago, should have just left it alone, it would be worth 4-5x's that now
