History:
A few years back I fell in love with the 2nd Gen Wagon and made it my mission to find a GT with a stick-shift to have as my daily driver.
I live in New England so finding a non-rusty one was difficult but I found one at a used car dealer in Oregon, bought it sight unseen and had it shipped.
it had been in a front end collision and they replaced the front bumper and grill with one from an outback and it had a black hood, but it was rust free and in good running condition. with under 100K miles. After getting it in it needed new tires, a snapped wheel stud replaced and near rear brakes but other than that it was good to go.
Unfortunately after about a week of driving it started to overheat so I stopped driving it. Winter was approaching and my garage is unheated and used for storing my summer car. So I opted to let the it sit over winter and I found another 2nd gen Wagon (a Tan L Automatic, and rusty) to drive for the winter.
The next spring when I had garage space again while I pulled the engine, did headgaskets, timing belt, clutch and a bunch of other gaskets while I was in there. and sold the Tan wagon. and I've been driving it for the last 5 or so years.
