    Definitely needs to be lowered a bit to make that wheel/tire combo look right. If you don't like the speaker boxes then take them out. It's not like he hacked up the rear trim panels to install them. Overall it looks like a nice wagon, but yeah $20k is way too much.

    I have always just been the type to prefer whatever hubcap/wheels came on the car originally. I like the Caprice hubcaps that came on these wagons originally.

    This Caprice bid to only $4650. Would have thought the bidding would have gone quite a bit higher.

    Small-time speculator, I would hazard to guess ("I have sold 5 other cars on E-bay....")

    Pluses: 454, full power (but no tilt)
    Minuses: No third seat (BIG minus on these....)

    I'm thinking somewhere around $5k is a good price on this one, maybe $5.5k

    I like the wheels but yes needs more tire. $20K no way! $5-5500. Also, "stock" is a good STARTING point!:whistle:

    I can't see this bidding past $5K. It took forever to get it to its previous high of what, $4,600??? I like the car as it sits, and the temptation to bid on it is high (454 auto wagon!), but I don't know. I'd have to arrange a complete inspection before I'd jump on it.

    It bid to $5100 the second time on eBay. Looks like the third time is not the charm for this one. Bidding has stalled.
