    When I talked to him a couple of weeks ago he said he had over $10,000 in it.

    They ruined it by removing the woodgrain

    I like it. The colors are pretty close to Sooner-fan territory. It would have to be one color on the outside for woodgrain to work. Did this have it originally?? The wheels are kinda kitschy and the paint scheme is reminiscent of "Starsky and Hutch", in a wagon version! Hell, I'd drive this.

    I'd drive it but the engine would come out. And I don't like those god awful spring shackles on the rear. They would go and I would install my own springs with the same lift effect.

    Totally Disagree I don't like rot therefore I do not like woodgrain.

    I've seen rusty woodgrain cars and rusty not woodgrain cars. It depends on how you maintain the car.

    When you remove the woodgrain, it is no longer a Caprice Estate. If you want to experiment, try it with an Impala. So far only one bid.
