    Have we seen this exact same car before? I recall seeing one from Ohio in the same color but it wasn't waxed and it had been in storage for upwards of 20 years, plus it had a carburetor that needed work. If it's the same car it looks to have been worked on; Now there's no engine.

    Then again, see the ad:

    "I have a 1971 Kingswood Wagon for sale minus engine.
    This car is a great restorable vehicle! 1 owner car!
    Been stored indoors for the last 12 years.

    A little blistering starting above the wheel wells. Inside the wheel wells are still in great condition.
    The pass rear dogleg needs a little attention.
    No other rust on car

    Again, this car does not have an engine. Everything else is there."

    Looks pretty solid. Probably worth $3000.

    Is seller claiming these are the same car? I don't think they are at all.

    Good catch. I think you are right.

    Looking over the pictures a second time maybe it's closer to a $2000 wagon.

    Nice first pic to get you to click on the ad, then the horror of the real car rears its' head. $1500 tops, in my book.

    It looks like it may be the same car, but the first pic looks like it may have been a few years ago. I think it looked better with whitewalls and the original hubcaps. It looks like someone has removed the luggage rack and some of the exterior trim and put on 91-96 Caprice Classic wheels.

    Then there's this bubbling which should also be fixed:

    Also, if this is the same car I'm thinking of then yes, The previous ad was in Ohio and the seller was asking $3,000-$3,500 or so plus it didn't run then but it had an engine. It had been in storage for around 20 years and it needed a new carburetor, and yes the previous ad I'm thinking of is of a car that was the same year and model and finish. Does anyone else here recall that ad?
