    Needs interior pics. Does look like it has AC, power tailgate and 3rd seat. Tough to tell much else.
    Does look like original paint. The spare tire well is still black at the bottom.

    I am selling a 1976 Chevy Caprice estate Wagon with the rear operating window that goes up in to the roof. It has 103,000 original miles and only 2 owners which were a father and then the son. Has never been out of the Houston area. It is in great condition for it's age and we are going to sell it via an auction. The opening bid is $6,000.00; however, the highest offer on Sunday, April 17, 2016 will be the winner.
    I don't answer emails or text messages. Please call for details.


    Call Dave at 6three0 4six0 4two34.

    Watch out......painted-over quarter window rust is obvious. Owner also apparently removed the standard V8 and substituted an early 50's stove bolt 6 in the engine bay :)LOL:).

    Also, I don't know why, but the pic from the left front is giving me fits. The grill is supposed to be vertical, but appears to be leaning forward in the pic. Might just be an optical illusion, but..........

    Yes, it does look like touch-up paint used on the edges of the rear windows. Water is clearly getting in, which makes interior photos a must.

    The term "original miles" no matter how many, means nothing if the engine is not included!

    You have to give him credit for showing the rust around the windows in close up pictures.

    Seems legit.
    (while on phone)
    "Hey I'll give you $6200"
    "What, hold on I'm getting a text. Looks like somebody just bid $6500."
    "Rats! Okay I'll give you $6800"
    "Uh hold on, I'm getting another text..."

    Shouldn't he have already awarded a winner of his super secret auction per his craigslist ad?

    Yeah, this "auction" does not inspire confidence.

    I think the engine picture is a mistake. He must have slipped it in there by accident. It doesn't even look like a Chevy Caprice engine bay.

    It is a mistake. Here's the correct pic.
