That 122S wagon is an over-priced car. Looks like lipstick on a pig paint, loads of ripples in the sides, front panel has a crease in the lower middle that has been beat out (usual cause is front cross-member under radiator is crumbling), hood fits badly on front RH rear edge (usually bad or seized hinge or crusty inner fender mounts).

Car needs a lot of work to get to a decent condition. At lest the interior looks half decent.

I’m glad somebody noticed all that. I thought there was something funny about it.

I was trying to be polite by just mentioning the polished fuel filler cap. Pretty strange thing to focus on, unless the point is to draw attention away from the man behind the curtain.

Not a big fan of the interior combination.

Already over the '18 hammer price, but it's in Canada, with those logistical challenges for us down South.

Both getting good play, but I don't know that the 1800 will break any records.
The one in Great Falls, VA is the current poster child.

Pretty clean, cloth seat survivor, looks to have been garaged for at least part of its life.

Another Retail Red car, this one a 57 code wagon that has been on quite the journey,

Pretty clean in and out, even the dash pad isn't hateful. Low miles plus it's Far-East stay probably means minimal salt exposure.
