    Hello to everyone. I recently picked up a nice 69 Kingswood that a local guy owned for many years. Originally a Cali car, it has been nicely redone (or at least I think so) over the last many years. Original 350 built, original TH350 rebuilt, 411 posi, magnaflo exhaust, interior done, painted, etc. etc. Runs strong for a big car. Kind of wish it had lower numerical gears. I really enjoy driving it.

    Welcome to the nuthouse we call home! That is one beautiful wagon. I notice someone shaved all the trim and name plates off the old girl. Did that trim come with her? Being a Kingswood, she would have had side moldings and probably rocker and wheel lip moldings as well as the "Kingswood" name plates on the rear quarters. They did a beautiful job on the shaving, but ended up with a car that looks more like a base model than a fairly deluxe one, since it was the exterior trim that most people noticed when buying one of these new.

    Thanks. I received what looks to be most of the original trim and the roof rack with it. I am only planning on putting the roof rack on it (wheel lip moldings are on the car) I need to get the five stancions for the roof rack re-chromed as the pot metal is pitting somewhat.
