    hiya people, I'm a Buick man, I may be buying a cool 70 Estate Wagon but, before I do, I'm trying to research parts availability. If you guys know where to look, let me know. Mostly interior things, mechanicals seem to be easy to find.

    Thanks, Nick.

    Mechanicals will be fairly easy. 70s gm parts are pretty readily available. Year correct panels and etc can be a tougher trek, but usually someone knows someone or a good junk yard that will have something, and all else fails....eBay!

    Welcome to our Parts bin Nick. You'll probably have to get specific about what you're looking for. We're detail-oriented, down to the rusty whatyacallit parts. :evilsmile::Welcome:

    I've only seen the yacht once, I'm going to need a headliner right off, maybe some door seals. Kanter has custom made headliners for about 250, or I can buy "by the yard" and try to wing it, don't want to. Also gonna need a service manual, and I'm looking for the front grille tri shield emblem. Those are the things I noticed when I went and saw it.

    I'm wondering about any "Classic Wagon" specific websites. I have 2 other buicks, a 63 and 65 but, those are "A" bodies, OPGI, yearone has all kinds of stuff for that, well....the 65 anyway, the 63 is a pain, that's why I'm trying to get familiar with wagon parts availability before I buy it....(just between you and me.....I think I already made up my mind):dancing:
