    Shipping it to northern Illinois shouldn't be too costly!

    If you really like the one in Bloomington I would go look at that one first. Mine has 150,000 miles and has a few issues like the AC isn't working and the gas gauge only reads 3/4 of a tank when it's actually full. The people who owned the car before me broke the hood latch so you have to open it with a pair of pliers. It's far from a perfect car but it still drives great.

    Bubble wagon is a 90-97 GM wagon like a Caprice, RoadMaster, or Olds.

    Think I bought one. 92 Roadmaster Estate, full leather, all options, one owner car. 117,000 miles and MINT condition. Exterior white with woodgrain and tan leather interior. $1,900. Picking it up tomorrow. Anyone have a set of SS wheels for sale?

    Not bad but the 94-96 have the LT1 unless you don't care about that.

    I've heard these called "whales", but not "bubbles"...that's a new one to me.

    All the derby guys call them bubble wagons. And I would have loved an LT1 but the price on this one was just to good to pass up. Finding a clean one of these cars is hard to do. Found a set of SS wheels with 80% tires on them for $550. Seems cashy to me but maybe I am wrong
