    Nice looking version of a rare wagon. Best one I have seen in a while and I have been looking. I especially like the dark interior.

    Look closely at the pictures. The car has some serious rust issues from spending it's life by the ocean. Tom

    The body rust you see just might be all there is. If it's solid underneath, this would be a great project for somebody at a decent price. If it was a '70 Kingswood, it would be almost double that number.

    The rust-through on the roof and the duct tape around the windshield could be serious, that rust is always worse than it looks. I wouldn't be surprised if the A pillars, cowl, and top of the dash at the base of the windshield have damage too. Best to have a pro inspection done or look at it yourself if you go for that car.

    Duct tape around the windshield? I missed that. Worse than I thought then....

    I gotta admit, that thing's got an ugly steering wheel. The midsizer Buicks of that vintage do too! Other than that, this would be a neat project.
