I'm in the Hudson Valley just north of the city. Lived on Long Island as a kid. I have been casually looking for a wagon for the past few years and there were a few I should of jumped on but just didn't I am also restoring a 1991 Mustang SSP NYSP car so space is at a premium. I recently had a lead on a 1980 V8 wagon with a manual transmission, posi rear, rally gauges and fully loaded. I went to check it out and the guy failed to tell me that it has been sitting since 1986 and has been flooded numerous times since it sits near a creek. It also is buried up to the rockers and is full of junk. What a shame. Part of me wants to get it as a parts car but again space is at a premium for me. I am looking for a decent driver that can be modded down the road.

I know a guy who's a member here and lives up in the Hudson Valley area. He owns a Malibu wagon with a big block in it. Haven't heard from him in awhile.
Yeah, that '80 wagon sounds like a bonafide parts car. I'm sure once you got it out of the mud you'll realize that a good portion of the car is rusted away...especially sitting there for over 30 yrs. I suppose if you can get it cheap enough and there's still some good useful parts on it, it might be worth it.
Finding a decent Malibu wagon might require some travel.

Yeah I spoke with him on another forum, Garage Journal. He actually works at the dealer close to my house. He doesn't post much though.
