    The 454 thing is odd. Where would he get that?

    Compared to most new cars it is a big block!

    That's very true. But just deciphering the VIN will tell you what engine it has.

    Yeah, I don't get it either. Maybe someone near him should offer 3k and save him some money. LOL

    What I don't understand is why not try a different approach - open the bidding and keep a reserve just to see what actual market price might bring? But doing the exact same thing four times in a row is nuts. :disagree:


    This is a "fair condition" example of a very desirable GM clamshell wagon - no doubt there is interest, but clearly not at that price.

    I just bought this one and I would sell it for ALOT less than this guys asking price, and it's ten times the car. He is never going to get anywhere near his asking price

    What are the options on the '76 CE that you have, Swanny?

    400/400 combo, 8 passenger, cloth interior, air, cruise, tilt, power windows and locks, power tailgate. I have to check the entire car over before saying what does and does not work. I honestly don't know

    LOL I wouldn't care I probably have everything to fix it.
    The only thing I do not like on that one is that damn 400 SBC I had one in my 76 caprice ran like a raped ape and ate more Gas than anything I ever owned LOL
