    Very nice and I agree overpriced, but at least out of demo-derby price range.
    I am confused however. The ad says it is a Catalina Safari, but it looks like a Grand Safari. It also has the Grand Ville interior and the Grand Ville grille and badge on front fender, so I think it is definitely a Grand Safari.

    Needs more interior pics. Ad says it is loaded, but really missing alot of options. I see power windows and power gate, but no tilt wheel, no cruise, no power locks, no luggage rack, no cornering lights also no deluxe hubcaps, but I like these. Too bad no 3rd seat either.

    *I see another clamshell wagon in the background, but I cannot tell what it is. Also, I see a Country Squire. :)

    Ad is wrong. Definitely a Grand Safari - check the front end and nameplate.

    Not at all, but I like it. Also the Squire appears to be the same year and close to the same color. I wonder what the story is on it?

    I think the Squire is a '77 - '78, as it lacks a tailgate emblem (unless, of course, it fell off).

    If it is over priced, then it is not by much imho.

    It's great looking but not quite 5 plus figures, I guess.

    New ad, new photos I see.

    Well we can see more detail now. Definitely a Grand Safari, but for some reason, it clearly has "Catalina" badges on front fenders, where it should have "Grand Safari" emblems.

    I did not notice -good find, Kingswood!

    It should look like this.

    But it says Grand Safari on the front end.
