Doing some estate planning and .....>>>>
Even though KBB and NADA are iffy resources for valuation it's good to see that the R32, Wagoneer and Rambler are all worth significantly more than what I paid for them. Only the TT has dropped a ton in value since new but that is expected for a luxury car. Maybe the value will rise after the new TT is out.
Value on the Phaeton is already on the rise (but still in the crapper overall)

A Wagoneer?....>>>
Wow, That's what I learned to drive on! (1n 1965). My dad was a bit of a Jeep freek. We sold an old ****** Wagon to get the "New" generation Wagoneer with the overhead cam 6! I could take my dates parking in some pretty exotic locations!

Yep, all original 1979 with 37,000 miles
It's got 42K on it now and running great. Except for a shorted out rear window switch (temporarily bypassed) it's been running with no issues at all.
You need to be able to live with the smell of gas and oil, the occasional dark spot on the driveway and zero tolerance for heavy rain and carwashes but it's worth it!<ul><li><a href="http://groups.msn.com/DavidandAmbers1979Wagoneer">Waggy</a></li></ul>

Actually I was more surprised by the Nash Rambler. :)
My Dad had one of those and I remember it when I was very young, but not sure of the year. I think it was black or perhaps dark green.

There are a few pic of that on the link I posted too. A very sweet ride and...>>>
They are SO undervalued right now. Hemmings Classic Car magazine consistently highlights them in every magazine as the best avenue into the collectable hobby today and AMC really did some breakout stuff design-wise for the period.
