What are the odds of two low mileage 72 Satellite wagons showing up on Ebay at the same time!?!?

Neat cars, but I doubt they will fetch the money that these folks are looking to get... I owned a '71 Satellite Custom wagon several years ago that had less than 8k original miles on it that I bought for $500.00. Pretty unique car, was a 225 slant 6, 3-spd manual on the column, 3.55 open, AC, AM/FM, 3rd row seating, HD brakes with front swaybar and more! After many months of advertising, I finally got $950. for it

Yeah, top one is $12,000 starting bid and 0 bids. Even at 36,000 miles will that wagon fetch anywhere near that kind of coin?

My wild a** guess would be around $3-5k... Someone would really HAVE to have one of those cars really badly to spend any kind of coin on either of those cars. Now, if they were one ofthe very rare '71-2 4-spd wagons, that would be a different story! I know of a '71 Satellite wagon that was on Long Island, NY which was a factory 383 4-spd car (bench/pistol grip). I believe it was finally sold as a project 5 years ago on Moparts.com (I could have bought it for $2,500). It was owned by a cousin of Tony D'Agostino of Tony's Parts.

My thoughts exactly.

Someday I'd like to pick one of these up to use as the basis for a Suburban Assault Vehicle. But not at anywhere near the asking price on the one.

I seem to recall the one from Maine being for sale previously... maybe out of NY. I want to say the asking price was around $9K at the time.

There was a curious yellow one out of the south west last year. I posted it here. It was a lot crustier than either of these, but a lot closer to my budget at $800.

EDIT: Here's my post on the GY3 car. http://www.roadrunnernest.com/forum/vie ... f=1&t=2606 I'm sure the picture links are dead though.

I would have bought that GY3 car assuming that it was the original color! The one I owned was GB2 with a B7 interior, way too much blue for my tastes
