Dad spoke with the owner today. Obviously the ebay listing with no takers. He speak with the owner this afternoon...pop told me that the very first words out of the guys mouth was literally, "I don't want to hear anything negative about the car." Sort of odd, Dad hadn't even started talking about anything yet. He did look at the car in detail this past week, heard it run, sat it in it, moved it aroung the parking lot, and so on. Dad went through a list of everything he had found that he thought would make it something that he couldn't drive immediately, and they were definitely a few things that caught my attention. I told him what I thought he should offer the fella, and dad went about $500 below that just for starters. The initial price break on the phone with the owner was only $800 off where dad is at. I told him to go ahead and up it $500 more and the fella should bite. If not, tell the guy, "you've got my number".
Dad was concerned about an oil leak the Y block had after running for about 10 or 15 minutes...he couldn't crawl up underneath of it, but I told him, "Hey, don't worry about a Y block, if you got any issues, your son here is good for another one in tip top shape, free of charge! 
" Could be any number of things on the oil leak. I don't think there is a pressure gauge for the oil, so that's another issue that we will have to work through if he does buy it.
If anybody has any leads on a Y block station wagon, let me know. But, just a reminder, it has to be Y block powered!
