Potential model issues to inspect

Who should shortlist it
A hands-on classic-wagon buyer who wants an honest project and can evaluate drivetrain leaks, rust and model identity before purchase.
What Waghoon could not verify
The page title calls it a Country Squire while the vehicle is presented as a Country Sedan, and no VIN is shown. Verify the exact model, chassis and title, engine identity, transmission leak, rust and completeness. Waghoon has not independently inspected this vehicle. Confirm current availability and arrange an independent pre-purchase inspection before money changes hands.
