Hello to all the Station Wagon forum members! 3 years ago I purchased a 1971 Kingswood which I saw on Barnfinds. I dont know why. The car just wanted me I guess. Since that time, the car has been upgraded ...a little. The old girl is finally home in the garage and I'm looking forward to showing her off.
I'm really enjoying this car! I bought it from the original owner out of Tacoma, WA. There was very little rust on the car and the patina was such that I just could not bring myself to paint it. Not to mention the exterior/interior colors were soooo 70's it was crazy. So...I left the exterior as is, scratches and all. Replaced a bunch of worn interior items with new but left it as original as possible. I did add A/C. And a Dakota gauge package. The engine is a Connect and Cruise GM set up with a 6.2L LS3 and 4l60E trans. The rear end was replaced with a Moser 12 bolt with limited slip and 3.73 gears. Wilwood brakes. The suspension was lowered a touch and completely rebuilt with new everything and a BIG front sway bar. The driving experience is pretty incredible...smooth, powerful and an amazing ride quality. The really weird thing is that it corners! I did install catalytic convertors on the custom dual exhaust with X pipe. But the Magnaflow mufflers are loud. Very loud. That car has zero sound deadening. Trying to attach interior images...
Nice looking car. Seems to be the perfect combination of old and new. So, the car came from Tacoma, where is it located now? (I'm hoping it's Phoenix Arizona)
It looks like it may be time to sell this monster. Does anyone have any thoughts on a realistic value?
