    Looks like a good deal, but I'm not too concerned as to whether or not the paint is factory, so long as it looks good.

    Is that the car from the movie Michael with John Travolta? Sure looks like it!

    The original wagon from that movie was in a demolition derby about 10 years ago. Very sad.

    Even though it has been repainted $3000 is a very good price.

    It is a factory color, the car has been repainted and you can tell a couple different ways

    1)There spare tire well on RH side should be black, not body color

    2)LH fender on lower edge has work done on it evident by the bulge under the body line

    3)Left hand rocker has multiple repairs as you can see the waves the entire lenght of the panel

    Interior looks decent beside the front seat and the silly horn button someone bolted to the dash(right under headlights switch)

    Price is probably a decent deal, but I would look it over in person and not buy it from the pictures that are posted.

    Wow. Thank you. :bowdown:

    I don't remember the color at all, but clearly GM did offer it.
    Maybe it wasn't very popular because I really don't think I have seen it before now.

    Where I was living when these came out that seemed to be a popular color. Lots of sedans and a few wagons running around the area. Lighter colors were popular in dusty areas like ours.

    If anyone's serious about this one, I could probably be talked into a drive to see it.
