    Everything is in working condition but it's a vinyl seat car and no cruise. Not sure how I missed the cruise

    Not cheap enough! Something like that I would have for a good long time and a year or 2 gas will be stupid again

    Would you really like the 400 over the optional 454? Those were the only two full-size wagon engine options for Chevy 1976.

    No personally I prefer the 71 poncho 455 I have over any of them. Better gas mileage and more power and better long term reliability that a 454. And solid motor mounts you don't get with a buick or olds

    Fresh wash with a lil steel wool to clean up the paint. Don't let the lipstick on the pig fool you

    The heavy rear suspension stance looks off also.

    Looks like the rear end could be loaded with spare a/c belts.
