    Haha!

    Well 72Kingswood, this does not like a bad CE clamshell wagon at all, but just a bit overpriced for the condition and the option level! :bouncy:

    lol. Yeah, I remember when I first seen this for sale on ebay a few years ago... I really wanted it and it was a bargain at the price it was at the time, but I had just spent ALL of my savings on my '72 Kingswood Estate. lol.

    Still my favorite year and has a lot of the options I like, such as A/C, 3rd seat and tilt wheel, but I agree... it is a little pricy in its current condition.

    Ironic this popped back up tonight... here are the interior photos I have from this car a few years ago... I stumbled across them on Photobucket when I was looking for the photos of my Grand Ville...

    Even then it appeared to have a damp interior!!

    Wow, don't like this car at all. Once you have rust in the roof above the B pillar and also large rust holes exposed under the chrome srtps under those big back windows then I would not touch it. Rust is one thing but holes leading straight into the interior of body is something else. The 73 C E in Mission Hills is soooo much nicer IMHO.

    Yeah and unfortunately that is a very common rust area on these cars.

    This CE has gone down hill quite a bit over time.

    Sure don't! That is one reason why I need to start on my wagon ASAP, or trade it off if time/funds will not allow. :(
