1961 Chrysler Town & Country wagon.
Worth $60,000?
Only if I had $100,000 burning a hole in my pocket.

. I like that a lot. Just not the price.
Cant stand the wheels. For $60k I should dislike nothing about the car. I'd also have done something to hide the power seat controls so the seats look a bit less like modern car takeouts shoved into a vintage car. Don't get me wrong, love the car, but for $60k those are the kinds of things that I'd expect to be done right.
The wheels are early '80's Imperial. I agree, not really right for here. It is however admitted to being a Resto-Mod and the work does look to be pretty darn good.
The rear seats are buckets. Hiding the controls are not going to make them look more '60's authentic.

I fully get that it's a resto mod and I'm ok with that, hell if anything I think they didn't go far enough as I'd have jammed a modern FI hemi in it. But it's little things like proper wheel selection and using modern seats without having them appear out of place that separate 60k cars from a nice project but not 60k worth of nice.
I'm inspired to put rear facing seats in my Legacy now, never seen them in any wagon but a Volvo before
One key sentence from the ad:
Other then the few custom pieces added, every part replaced and up-dated is a Chrysler Corp. part, no exceptions!
This seems to explain the 300M bucket seats with exposed controls and Imperial wheels.
As a resto-mod, I personally like bone stock appearing cars with upgraded drive train and suspension. Period.
Too much money for what it isn't...
