    Maybe, but it has the third row and looks like a full power gate, and if it has been garaged all of its life and with those sun shades then you would expect a pretty clean interior as well with a rust free body. I agree more pics are needed, and a little more detail about other options would help as well. One thing I do like is the colour combo though.

    Nice looking Caprice Estate clam, but many more photos are called for, particularly for the interior. Both the exterior wood grain and body side moldings clearly are not original. More info needed, especially at the high asking price on this '76 CE.

    The wood trim has been painted. And the wood has been replaced. Nice car but not original

    I like painted wood versus the decals any day, so long as it's done right.

    Many more pics please - an admittedly 150k miles is quite steep for $9000.

    Yes this hurts it a little as cars with 100k less miles in similar condition have gone for less.

    And as far as that 74 goes, I have been watching eagerly for near 9 months now and I have to ask, how many 74 or 75's for that matter do you ever see come up? This one certainly has rust issues but if you only wanted a 74 or a 75 then you have had limited opportunities so far. Haven't we had a member specifically after a 74 or a 75 for a while now?

    Lucky for me the 73's in all sorts of condition come up regularly, however if only the sellers were as keen to sell them as the buyers are to buy them though!

    Yes, we have a forum member who's been looking for a '74 CE for a long time. The '74s are rarely seen due to relatively low original production numbers, same for the '75s. That '74 CE for sale in Salt Lake City has been for sale for many years. It is overpriced and has rust issues. It has value as a rare CE clam, but definitely not over 10 grand. Check the pic :camera:
