    Rough and priced accordingly.

    Are those rust spots around the speedometer pod? How do you get rust there?

    Even though I'm on the wet coast I've seen it and it comes from sitting for a few moist seasons all damp with the windows/doors shut tight, and or as seller mentions no back window... how long has it had no back window, it's gona get damp and ugly inside fast. I'd say by the looks of what we can see of this wagon, it's just a turd all around inside and out and has sat a long time.

    Yeah, looks like next stop "crusher" unfortunately. Always liked the '79 Caprice styling.

    Pop in a back glass and taillight and drive it. :)

    Yeah, the southeast USA is a high humidity area and it has probably been very damp inside, especially with a busted window if exposed to the elements over time. Older GM cars were no strangers to window leaks either.

    Yeah maybe worth a look as strictly a driver.

    ^^If you could deal with inhaling mold spores every time you drove it...
