A little something open for discussion, should something like this be saved and restored just as a part of transportation history or do you think it would be worth it from a collector vehicle standpoint ?

Looks like an airporter or possible hotel shuttle. Saved for a historic theme exhibit?

Fugitive from the junk yard. Recycle the metal. From America's junk period.

Turn it into something useful. Melt it down and make 5 new Toyotas.

I tend to like to preserve and save the old stuff (mainly toys in my case), but this one would be hard to store because of its size, expensive because of obviously needed work, and really of little use because of its specialized nature. Would you like to be its driver as the only adult when this one is packed full of Cub Scouts?

No Thanks! Questional Value, We own a 96 Fleetwood Limo & it is always in the way! It is Pristine with 31,000 miles. Beautiful Black with Oxblood Leather Interior. But it still gets in the way. Used it last October 2013 so you see it's a problem.
Melt that wreck down for the valuable scrap metal, don't spend one cent on it. Yes I do see its a Mopar but it has had a lot of HARD USE! Stay Away!
It is a pain in the fanny to Park. Your Chauffer has to keep moving cause he can't find a place long enough and the Hotels take a dim view of using their drive for parking and running errands.

Pretty rough. I think it's woth saving because it's an airport limo. If it was a standard wagon.....
...I'd say scrap it. Like Bruce said, even though we're both MoPaR, this car was built in the depths of America's junk period.
But would I personally buy this thing spend any money to restore it? Not on your life!
