I could not even sit in that car, I’d ruin them. If I even walk into the garage, I’m greasy.

Fort Collins CO
1963 122 wagon
Looks like it was that grey-tan color, now spray can yellow (?)
B20 with SU's, runs and drives well.
Overdrive.
Not sure that's a '63 grille - nose damaged?
Funky seat choice.
122k miles, $5900

Here are a few interesting cars for sale in Alberta Canada this weekend. Check the title of the last one. Really important to know what you are selling............!
First is a low mileage C70 (50,000 miles). Only issues are the price, the probability of roof failure at this age, and those lovely door window mechanisms that even the dealers hate!
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/edm ... e/m3571173
I liked the next one, but the boss decided she does not like the P2 in white. Looks clean and a T5!
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/cal ... 1615153281
Then the 2 overpriced Ocean Race Volvos. Higher mileage XC90 with 'only' a couple of small issues. Wheel bearing and windshield!
When someone says you only need to replace a wheel bearing it always tells me how the car has been maintained (or not!).
2nd one, the owner seems to be unsure what he is selling. Mileage is not terrible but price is!

I love listings that say “this [broken thing] repair is very easy”. Then why haven’t you done it?

The Advanced Auto Parts Store guys have enough trouble finding what you need when you tell them the correct Make/Model.
