A friend from NC alerted me this morning about the subject car for sale in my area, print only. So I went to look.
The owner is an interesting guy. He drives a real, ex-USPS 55(?) Plymouth Sedan Delivery to the flea market on Sundays (which I've seen many times). He's built a 1st-gen Valiant pickup, a Pinto pickup, and more.
The car is an '82 2.3/auto w/air. He got it in 2006 from his daughter. It started out as a 4-door sedan, then converted to a 4-door wagon, then 2-door wagon, then sedan delivery (he showed me the pictures). It has some strange features. The picture in the ad is really old; he doesn't do internet.
The "push bars" and the custom grille would have to go.
The interior is good; solid floors, the buckets have fresh upholstery. He put in a decent vinyl headliner and covered the rear upper quarters with black patterned ABS.
Two major sore thumbs: the gaps around the rear hatch are uneven and two:
The trim piece across the top covers the unwelded seam ("I didn't want to warp the roof.")
Obviously, the non-stock trim (from Pintos) would also have to go.
