    Totally agree, jwdtenn!

    This car is practically in my backyard. If anyone needs a local set of eyes on this, let me know.

    I thought you might like this '75 CE wagon! :yup:

    Here's how it might look otherwise.

    Oh I do! Just not too keen on red, especially without the woodgrain. I'm a bit picky, probably too much so for my own good. But checking it out for someone else would at least afford me the chance to see it in person without fear of wasting the seller's time. :)

    I would really like to know more about this Caprice. If it's rust free I would be very interested.

    Too much red, really needs the wood just to break it somewhat. The 76 square head light bezel has it all over the round 75 as well. Other than that, if it is has minimal to no rust at all then this is a cheap car from what we have seen lately.

    Totally agree with the square headlight design on the '76, although I still like the round design too. Less hassle with any pre-'76 model here in CA though, as anything pre-1976 is exempt from smog testing here. :)

    Agreed!!!! :cheers:

    The swept back 1976 Caprice front end was practically specially made for the (then) new rectangular headlights!!!! Looks just perfect! I like it!
