Oddly, I see some cars in the photos that aren’t in the listing - a white ‘60 Ford wagon (paging Fintail), a ‘64 Pontiac wagon (maybe accidentally listed as ‘66) and a ‘64 Ford Galaxie coupe (RR?)
That ‘67 GS400 is the one I’d take-and I’d love to know the backstory on these.

‘64 Galaxie 500
fastback with an FE of some description. The ‘63 Consul Capri is an odd duck.

The two door Comet wagon is an oddball, too. And everything listed seems worth saving to me.

60 Country Squire mis-described as a 62 and already sold.
Capri is cool but you can’t get there from here at that price.

Yeah, you’re probably right about the ‘60 Ford - I don’t see a ‘62 in the photos, and the ‘66 Pontiac is clearly a ‘64. The rest seems to line up, except the pre-WWII cars aren’t pictured and the ‘64 Ford isn’t listed. Actually the whole listing is pretty half-baked.

Weak or erroneous descriptions, lackluster pics, incomplete data, non-bargain prices, some sketchy condition - I’d probably have to pass.

A lot of the prices seem silly, and none of this is worth traveling to see, but the Buick doesn’t seem bad if it has a drivetrain (and not that horrible if it’s a roller).

The 60 Ford would probably be worth it for small bits - extremely rare car. Restoring would be a labor of love.

For the wagons, I was thinking more of a restomod- the bones seem okay, but I’d bet there are some impossible-to-find OEM parts that are missing, making a full restoration an exercise in futility.
I wouldn’t fully restore the GS400 either - but the body looks pretty clean.
And something looks really wrong with the Pontiac wagon - like the whole thing is a super bad bondo job.

Yeah, on the 60 anyway, I assume the interior is toast, and I think some of the soft materials may be unobtanium - do it your own way. Rechroming will also cost a fortune. Some value if it is a 95 point car, but you’ll spend double that or more to get there. I wonder what is in it - my dad’s was a 352.
That Pontiac does look off now that you mention it. It’s done, find another. I like the 2 door wagon as well, that one doesn’t look half bad, but you’d have to keep expenses in check.
