Saw this today and assume it's for sale as it has no plates. (it's a repair shop-car lot).
1978 LTD wagon with a CB antennae, full width mud flap and a plastic Jesus. I called but they were closed. I will probably stop on my way to the airport tomorrow. Number's on the sign: 518.885.8886
I'm like:
Wait a minuet , that what I call my Honda pilot !
I want it and it shall be named...... Moby Dick. Alas, wife says no no no no. A newer/modern car is what we need. Dammit.
By the looks of the handle on the back it's got a swing gate also
That's a camper tow rig for sure. I bet it has a 460 under the hood.
I shouldn't even like that but I really dig it.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Add helper springs to the back and you are good.
That rear mud flap screams Tow Rig of an Airstream!
Bring your water cooled credit card for the gas station.
Should have sideways sitting third row.

My 77 with the tow package had a 400m, not sure how different the 78s were though.

Yeah, my best friend in high school had a 77 with the tow package, also a 400M. Rear disc brakes, though!
The 351 was the standard. The Country Squire got the 400 standard.
The full width mud flap and the CB make me think the PO was serious about towing. That means 429 or 460, I bet 460.
That doesn't mean I'm not wrong though. 
Wow - that looks to be in stunning condition.
My guess is also 351M or 400.
The shop has a website, but no info about any cars for sale: http://www.richsroute50servicecenter.com/home.htm

Eh... in the low-to-mid teens, I'd bet. Guessing against my old '78 F150 4x4 with the same engine that would get 10 mpg. Not terrible for what it is.
I understand these engines were helped a lot with some basic mods to improve MPG a few points: headers and a Holly 650 4-barrel with vacuum secondaries to replace the restrictive exhaust and thirsty 500 cfm 2-barrel.
That thing looks awesome, and who cares about fuel economy when you have style?
That's a whole lotta wagon
too bad it ain't got woodgrain ftmfw
