@moosens, thank you for the advise. It is much appreciated. Your idea of using this car as a "practice run" is excellent... Perhaps get the car to run and move under its own power, then find a clean one from out west. We will see. If we decide to do something like this, I'll update the post or even make a new one. Thank you so much!

@moosens My dad and I actually went and had a look at it a few hours ago. The exterior and interior are in fairly good condition, and apparently it ran 3 or so years ago. Current owner claims in only needs a starter and new battery to get it running. Unfortunately, some subframe parts are pretty rusted, and so are the rockers. Not sure how bad it would be to fix that. It's not terribly rotted out though, and the owner would basically be giving the car to us if we want it. As for the starter... It actually looks like maybe rockauto sells a compatible one? Not sure though.

Ok, so I am looking at buying a 79 DL wagon as a project for my dad and I. We would get it up and running, and hopefully revive it to it's former beauty. However, my question is how easy is it to find parts for these cars? If it's not too hard to find parts to get it going, I'm thinking it would make for a good project. If anyone could provide any insight on this, that would be great, thanks!
