I looked at this car when it was for sale by the prior owner. It is a real black / red V8 4-spd 300 series 2-door wagon. Super rare, but the trans is not 1-of-2 rare (as stated in the sign in the picture in the auction). I have seen 2 factory 4-spd 2-dr wagons myself, and I seriously doubt I have seen every one that was made!
It is a good car, but overpriced (IMO) given the quality of the paint, color change, the added Malibu side trim, the changes and appearance condition under the hood, and the very ill advised (IMO) interior changes. Rear seat is the original upholstery with the super rare vinyl used only in 300 wagons (and maybe Canadian 300 convertibles), and the 300-only door panels are very nice, so I would think the original front seat and the original rubber floor mat were probably decent too. Shame those items are gone. Unfortunately I can't remember if the engine stamp jibed with the car or not.
