    That is one beautiful wagon! Love the 70 design, and the colour sets it off perfectly. I much prefer this to the clams. I may be odd.

    You are odd, but I do agree with your statement. I don't care that much for the '71+ body style compared to this. Of course we had a '70 Catalina 2 door growing up, so that probably has something to do with it.

    I would happily drive this. I just can't afford it.

    MikeT1961- maybe you're not odd at all, but just have great tastes in what constitutes a great looking wagon.

    Kevin its nice to know there are more admirers of the 1970 Pontiac. I agree with you. We had a big beautiful '70 wagon when I was a kid and my uncle's father-in-law ran a Pontiac dealership. I can remember seeing a number of 1970 Pontiac's at his place throughout the year, and especially at Christmas time, all lined up in the driveway. : )

    Three things have to be true for an old car to have high value. Rarity, condition, and desirability . People have to want the car. People aren't going to flock to it just because it's rare and in good shape. If it's not a sought-after vehicle, it won't command a high price.
