so hears the story. My dad got a mercadies alittle while ago, and he met a guy on a mercadies forum that has a huge yard full of perfectly good mercadies and other random cars including a few old firebirds, old camaros, old ford/chevy trucks and other random things.
So this guy got a letter from the state saying that he cant have all these cars and that he needs to get rid of them all or they will fine him each day that he hasent cleaned it all up. So the guy puts a post on one of the forums saying that he needs help moving all his cars and taking them apart so he can save the good parts, selling them, and takin them to the crusher. So we go down to help him (and he only lives about 30 mins away from us), and while were looking around at all the cars hes got, we find an International Travelall just sitting there.
so after awhile of working with him, we talked about the car and what he wanted for it. he really diddent want to scrap it at all, so he wanted to sell it to someone. After alittle bit of talking, we settled on a price. $600. scrap price. We worked out a deal that ill give him an $80 deposit right there and ill just make payments allong the way. he has his own tow truck, so that saves me like 100 bucks, and he said all it pretty much needs is new tires and a starter.

i will have better pictures, maby not soon, but in alittle while depending on when i have time to go back down there for a bit or when he drops it off at my house. but its a totally complete car and hes gonna give me some random parts and stuff along with it.
The plan for now is to just get it home, clean the carbs out, get a new starter and tires, repaint roof white, and drive it around.

future plans: SLAMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The beast is here. Took awhile, but it's here. Bad thing is that the window has been down for about 10 years, so there's ants, mold, bacteria, etc... Sucks but I'll get over it. Cameras broken, but I'll get some pics soon. I put a battery in, and all the electrical works except one tail light due to a broken bulb. We should be getting it running soon.... Hopefully.

haha, well, the "wood inlay" or whatever its called, is like wall paper, and i took it to the car wash on the way home, and i had thought i washed all the white off, untill i got home and it was all white again. so, im debating on weather to take the vinal off and just paint that part white, or to wax and polish it, so it will stay looking like fake wood stickers..

You're really gonna have to strip it bare and start over if you want to keep the "wood" panneling. All it ever was was a really thin veneer and after the varnish deteriorated it basically started to rot :I

Also, you're probably gonna need to replace the interior. If not, Just take it out as soon as you can and get it cleaned chemically (IMG:style_emoticons/default/xd.gif)

I'm sure they make some kind of replacement wood vinyl or something. Or you could just buy a big sheet and cut it yourself.

Woop crazy vehicle dood. There's probably a specialist who can redo the wood. Like they have for vinyl roofs.
