    Yeah, definitely has a manual gate. I would love to see some interior photos and better exterior photos, this one is lousy, lol.

    I love that color on that car. You don't see it that often on those cars. :)

    Needs lots of help but probably worth $2000. Wish it wasn't so far away!

    I really wish I had the budget for a full restoration. If I did, I'd rescue this one in a second.

    Me too! I have always LOVED that shade of blue on these wagons. I wonder if the interior is black or blue?

    A nearly identical 1972 Kingswood Estate wagon was featured in a 1972 movie called "Straight on Till Morning."

    Evidently thinks that the power glass (they all had that) means a 'power tail gate'.

    Cool! We will look forward to them. Someone must have changed the trim on the gate, because that little handle area on the gate was only used on models with the manual gate. The power gate models didn't have the handle.

    I wish my '72 Kingswood Estate was this color... mine is brown with black interior.

    I didn't think the Chevy's came with he 12 bolt rearend? I always thought that was a BOP option.
