So there is a guy which is selling his 510 Wagon in running condition. Little surface rust, 4 speed, and new custom drive shaft. Problems is that shocks need to be replace, the dash is cracked a little, interior is kind of bad. He wants $1700 and to tell the truth I don't know much about the 510 wagons and was wondering if is a good price and general info about the 510 WagonThanks for your time and info

rust is the killer, if the chassis is solid it's a good price, the chosk are simple, the wagons got a solid rear axle and evne the trailign arm sedans rear shocks are a smap, one bolt at the bottom one nut at top

the fornt struts aren't that big fo a deal, they use oil dampers origionaloly, you have to remove the strut assy, then take off the prings and get the gland nut off, which can be challanging, if it still got the oil damper you just pull out the gus pour out the oil and out the insert in with the new gland nut, if it's already been converted to inserts you just replace and put it back together
