    Is that a plywood hard top??

    Awesome...

    Same as others have mentioned. This is in a junkyard and the owner thinks he has gold. I offered him $1000 (generous considering the condition) and he finally relented that he would sell but everytime I came to collect it was too muddy, icy, blocked in that day, etc....always a different excuse why that day wouldn't work.

    This was in PA and I moved to VA but I still want this truck. Marine Blue station wagons are my favorites and there is too much complete stuff in the interior to part it imo.

    Full link to photos here:

    Funny you should mention...It IS a home made fiberglass and wood hard top that is rotting away. In fact, it is the ONLY item that's really desirable on the whole rover. The junk yard owner wanted something like $300 for the hard top, and could only be talked down to $200, if I recall correctly.

    Not obvious in the first photo is the framework that this homemade roof is built on. It's what makes this junk roof the most desirable part on the whole mess:

    Great! Now I have to keep an eye on this to make sure if anyone takes pics of my property in Maine, they know stuff ain't fo sale!

    . . . unless the price is REALLY right.

    Just scanned, for your viewing pleasure. Another beautiful early Wagon. This one located in Ellisville, MS. Photos taken sometime around 2005 (man I've got to start labeling my photos...). Rover was moved a few months after photos were taken. New location unknown. Note the two intact rear sparto lights, the turn style vent knobs, and the rare accessory plug still plugged into the dash outlet. I wonder what he was running off the plug?











    More photos to come, as I dig them out.

    Was this part of a lot of rovers (2-3 other trucks, similar color) in Waterbury CT? I vaguely remember looking at them with my dad and Dave Ducat many years ago...
