    dual exaust
    3.23 open

    added craig floor mount fm/8-track and the gm luggage carrier

    i have owned this for 8 years i think, bought from the original owner in york, PA. all original paint, woodgrain is faded is some spots. i detailed the engine bay; added new exhaust, rally II's, new tires, dual snorkel, 78 sj gp sport steering wheel, tach and vacuum gauges, that floor mount craig w/ matching rear speakers. my friend John Piotrowski sold me the luggage carrier is father-in-law bought new for his 74 chevy wagon.

    i just pulled it out yesterday to wash it up, since it hit 60 degrees here, and took some pics to post on here.

    Great looking wagon.

    Facts:
    1. You are from Illinois, maybe near Chicago.
    2. The car is large and and green with fake wood.

    One could conclude the following:
    1. All wagons from Illinois are like the Griswaolds' family truckster....:evilsmile:

    Just kidding around. :biglaugh: It's a great 'ole Pontiac and much better looking than a Truckster.(y)
