    Interior pics would help a lot - looks solid and straight, but appears to be very low option.

    What is the deal with the gate? It has the handle as if a manual gate, but the switch looks like one from a power gate.

    Looks good from the outside... not sure how good the blue interior would look with the green exterior. I like both colors on these cars, but not sure how well I like them together. lol.

    Wow, this looks like a gem, absent interior pics of course. Also having trouble picturing this color combination together, lol.

    Yeah. I like green on these older cars, but with the blue interior (which I also like), I think I would have to paint this car blue or white if it were mine, as I would rather not do an interior color change.

    I just cannot imagine someone ordering a car from the factory with green exterior and blue interior, but who knows?

    Very nice looking wagon! Hard to believe it has 189,000 miles on it.

    I know it says it's green but this sure looks gold to me. Either way blue interior? Really? Looks like "Placer Gold Poly' to me.

    Yeh I thought gold when I first saw it as well, in fact I did not read the green reference until after and I actually thought it was borderline mustard like many of those early 70's cars were at the time. I think it does have a blue interior as well, but black like Kingswood's 72 would look great with this gold.

    And Kingswood, you are right something's up with the tailgate handle and the full power switch on this one. I wonder if it is a pull up tail gate but the switch was perhaps swapped out for a new one say 20 years ago and this being the only switch available at the time. Would this still work? It will only render half the switch void right?

    Blue and green does not work and I doubt Chevy would let you order it that way. And it looks to be the same color of my Wagon Placer Gold.

    If it has the power gate, power window switch there is no way to release the tailgate to drop it. I imagine someone converted it to a power tailgate. I wish I had all the parts to switch mine over to a power gate. I truly love that option, probably my favorite option besides the 8 passenger seating

    My favorite option as well and sadly, rarely seen on the Chevy wagons... even the Caprice.

    It could be gold... it would go better with blue interior than green would. Yuck. lol.
