So, I told my wife I was going to buy a Waggy.

She laughed at me. Sometimes I don’t think she understands me at all...

ha, thats a much better reaction than when I told my wife i wanted an FJ60. Lets just say there wasn’t a whole lot of laughter involved.

I Love ours - white 1990, interior looks like that last pic (minus the dash badge - I think thats a final edition). Its been a slow project for 3-4 years. Runs and drives but it needs more work still

I’ve really been wanting one of these lately, this isn’t helping.

Maybe someone would trade one for my 924...

I was just looking at these on CL yesterday. These and J10s.

About 6 or so years ago, I looked at a 1 owner with 56k miles. For $900. I brought a checkbook, and not cash. I was the first one to look at it, and he wouldn’t take a check. I asked if I could write him a check and return to pay in cash (there was a bank about 5 minutes away), and he said no. I went anyway, and returned within 15 minutes. It sold. Grrrrrr.

I’ve been looking at selling my truck and getting something older. My wife’s reaction “I don’t understand why anyone would get rid of something new and get something old. It’s not my car, so...whatever.” She also quite loudly proclaims she’ll never drive the Cougar. “I have a vehicle. It’s nice. Why would I drive that?”

Every time I see one I point it out to my wife and exclaim how awesome it is. I’m slowly working up to the day when I have the opportunity to snag one. Fun fact: infant me came home from the hospital in an orange and white ‘76 Waggy!

Agreed. My wife would help me find one.

When I was a kid, our AMC Concord was back to the dealer for warranty repairs so much I actually thought we owned a Grand Wagoneer (the dealer’s loaner car)
