    This is the paint color 72KinsgwoodEstate has been seeking for a '73 Caprice Estate for years. Shows up repeatedly for Buicks, but not '73 Chevys. Go figure.

    Very sluggish bidding on eBay. The rust has to be the main drawback.

    I like the original color. I bet the gas tank is a main drawback and a lotta guys would go and drive er home. I shy away from that woodgrain/rust. simply because it will be way worse after ya start on it

    With the mileage and 16 year usage the owner must have driven with tools in his back pockets!
    The gas tank would be my only concern. The fender rust wouldn't bother me. That would look normal for where I'm going!
    Still too big and too large an engine. Prices are getting better.

    a serious concern might be looking at the rear lifted cargo area inside the back door. Lots of what looks like mouse inhabitant leftovers. More than likely under the back seat too. I t may stink like a momma in there

    My momma didn't stink!:D

    As for my own 55 Chevy wagon, the previous weirdo had a 3/4" piece of plywood screwed to the floor and black shag carpet over that. I was amazed how clean the tire well was. Many are rusted thru. No mousies though.
