Why? Nearly Perfect 1990 Sable Wagon
The seller claims this was a grandparental car from new, and that’s the only explanation we can think of for its condition. Any Sable in good condition is an oddball in 2016; but this wagon with full blue interior and upgraded engine is a true gem. Would you drive this? The seller claims under 55K…

AMC Concord Pro Street Surf Wagon
Woodgrain, surfboard, tubbed rear and small-block Chevy. A winning combo? We like wagons because of their do-everything nature. Usually, that means they drive like a car and haul like an SUV. Today’s feature car is perhaps less versatile, but still has a split personality. It looks like a utilitarian, early 80s woodgrain wagon and has…

Rare Datsun 1200 Two-Door Wagon
Nissan positioned this V320 as a small van, and it is closely related to its trucks of the time; but we see it as a small wagon. Either way, it’s damn cool and has massive potential. This example needs a lot of help, both cosmetically and mechanically, but the good news is that it appears…

A Former Family Chariot? 1989 Colt Vista AWD w/Manual Trans
Here’s a forgotten Swiss Army knife of a car: The Mitsubishi Chariot, which was sold in the US as the Dodge Colt Vista and Eagle Vista Wagon. We see this as a do-anything vanlet, which would be a great addition to any fleet. Well, it would be truly great if it ran… The late 80s…

Among the Best “Lost” Car Names?
Most people knew the Plymouth Fury as a police car; but, if we step back and ponder it objectively, isn’t it a great car name? Too bad it’s gone, along with the brand which sired it. While it’s not the first body style we think of, we’re pleased to present a Fury Sport Suburban Wagon for…

Wagon + Woodgrain + 383 + Four-speed = Heaven?
This is a Dodge Custom 880, which was the top-of-the-line offering in 1965. Even better, this is the wagon example, originally with woodgrain and a four-speed! This one currently has a 383 V8 in it, but we think a ’65 should have a 361. In any case, it’s not clear which 383 this is. If…

Mercury-Branded Pinto Cruising Wagon with Manual Trans
If you know oddball cars, then the Pinto Cruising Wagon needs no introduction. No other vehicle brought quite as much 70s van culture into a compact size. What could be better? A Mercury version! Let’s make one thing clear in order to avoid claims of false advertising: This is a Pinto with a Mercury front…

Celebrity Eurosport Wagon, Eh!
Remember the Chevy Celebrity? Yes, it was basic transportation in its day and precisely zero celebrities drove Celebrities. Even a car this boring had a special edition, in this case known as the Eurosport. This Eurosport wagon is as cool as a Celebrity can possibly be. Is that cool enough? This car is a Canadian…

Quickie: Datsun 411 Wagon Roller on Top of a Shipping Container
We don’t know how this car got on top of this container nor why. If the body and glass truly are in good shape, this could be a deal at $500 or so. We’re not sure Lemons rules allow a rolling shell at $500, but this shouldn’t be smashed to bits on a track, anyway.…

AMC Eagle Wagon with Manual
Wagon body, inline six cylinder engine, all wheel drive and a clutch pedal – does it get any better? Well, okay, there are faster and more attractive wagons that check those boxes, but they lack the retro coolness of this one. The particular example has about 130K miles, which means the ubiquitous AMC 4.2-liter I6…
