    It looks nice. Some interior pics would have been nice too. :)

    That really is highly optioned for an Impala wagon. Most of those late 70s Impala wagons were typically low optioned... actually even many of the Caprice wagons of that era weren't all that high optioned on average. It was mostly the upgraded models with the "Estate" option.

    I once almost purchased a blue on blue '77 Impala wagon back in '93. It had 3rd seat and A/C. That was it... it had 49K actual miles and was like brand new and the price? $995. It was on the bargain lot at a local Honda dealership. :) Too bad we cannot go back to the 80s and 90s and pick these cars up for nothing.

    It is a good looking wagon, but for that asking price a lot more pictures should be posted.

    I agree most Impala wagons are low option, my 78 originally had A/C, AM radio with 2 speakers 1 dash and 1 rear seat, 3rd seat, and a roof rack. I have added Tilt column, split bench seat Drivers side Power, and AM/FM with better speakers.

    This car makes me think I got a better deal than I already did on the Loaded 78 Catalina Safari I just picked up for $5000

    Nice looking wagon but I don't think it's $9000 nice!

    We had a 9 passenger '77 Impala that looked just like this one... chocolate brown.

    Admittedly priced high but it would be difficult to recreate now at any price, especially a loaded Impala wagon like this.

    I can't argue against that.

    I wonder if low-balling costs, costs more than it does to high-ball despite how it looks. It's not like 1977 Impalas are in a current manufacturing process now. Hey, It's just a bit under 80k miles and some cool restoration guy could take this and give it even more shine (inside and out, engine and all) then it would be like brand-new!
