1968 Buick Sportwagon

This looks pretty clean on the outside; no inside photos, though. I don't see many wagons of this vintage in silver. The seller is asking $12,500 and it is listed as being in Lemon Heights, California.

Come back in time and ride in 'moms' Buick wagon !! $12,500 714-544-6123 The Buick version of the 'Vista Cruiser'-- Just not too many of these around!!"

 

Looks like it may have had some body work done. Look closely at the right front fender; it is missing the marker light and some trim around the woodgrain at the forward edge. Makes me wonder considering the price.
Also, some pics of the interior would help as well.

 

I hadn't noticed the missing trim or missing marker light. If spending this kind of money, I'd want to check out a car personally before committing to a purchase. There might be minor stuff you could easily fix later, or something big that would give you pause.

 

This is probably the same seller that has had a couple of nice Country Squires for sale (one of them being a red '68, IIRC...) He seems to like to flip station wagons. I may try to look him up next time I'm down in Orange County.

 

Have you looked at the Buick Sport Wagon? I may be interested in this car. He also has a 67 Country Squire listed as well.

 

Naw, I was down there last month and forgot about this guy. Was only a few miles away from him, too.......
