    Nice wagon if you can afford it. That era LS-5 454 has to be a real tiger! Remember....back then the car companies lied about the horsepower. They UNDERstated it!

    Today seems to be the day for unquestionably red Chevy wagons.

    That one's been on the market for quite some time...remember seeing it a couple years ago. Suppose it could have changed hands and gone to a speculator. Don't recall the price being quite that spendy.....
