    The Paint Code indicates it was originally PINEHURST GREEN, with a COVERT Light brown Vinyl Roof !

    Congrats on the wagon! :yup: Will you bring back the wood grain and vinyl roof? Some don't care for vinyl roofs on the 1970s wagons, but I like the rarity of that option - the "loaded up" effect. :)

    Yes. The Cruiser will be restored to Factory assembly line condition.
    Not quite "Showroom" condition, as least not until I can get more money saved up, but I'll restore it to what the "Specs" were when it left the assembly line...

    Great to hear you have this wagon and you're going to clean it up, well done!
    I saw your comment about the clamshell rubber and I don't have a solution but I did read in another post from Vetteman61 about his work on a '71 Pontiac clamshell and his struggles with identifying a supplier for the rubber... here's the link to his thread below, you may want to contact him to find out how he made out... best of luck with your restoration!

    Get that tape off the car as soon as you can if it's still on there; It'll leave a mark if you don't. (I speak from experience.) Hey, anyone else reading - should fairbear use a hair-dryer to loosen up the tape a bit?
