    Seems to look like a nice survivor! Wish it was closer to me so I could go check it out! Going on three years of searching now. Such is life. Longroofs Rule, .....

    Looks like a nice car, no reserve auction, bidding under $5000 at the time I wrote this.

    Body damage to the drivers door and right rear quarter. The door may be an easy fix, but the rear is going to be more difficult and missing trim next to impossible to find. Rear tailgate and bumper took a couple minor hits as well...

    Talked to the guy who is selling this fine wagon. On the phone for 45 minutes! Seems to be a straight up fellow, told me it is a local car with a local dealership emblem still on the tailgate! He went on to say, as in the description, that you would think it came out of California! Boy! I wish I could acquire this fine example of American automotive beauty! ..... Just dreaming??? Who knows! maybe my wife will buy for me as a gift....ha,ha,ha! longroofs rule!

    Just won this fine longroof a couple of hours ago! Can't wait to get her home and take a cruise! Paid $ 7,200..... to much? I think, not bad...... Finally found that elusive longroof I've been searching for! Longroofs Rule!!!

    Congrats X2, I think you did alright on the price, looks to be solid, I would rather have a solid car with a few dents, than a straight rusty one!!!!!!

    Congratulations! She's a beautiful wagon.

    Get that vista roof glass done asap. Make sure the metal around the opening is solid.

    Thanks guys! Can't wait to go get her this week. A friend and I are going on a road trip to retrieve her. Yeah Krash, going to fix that vista window asap. Probably as soon as I get it home. Already got a replacement. Seller assured me that it's not leaking and is rust free around the window. Won't be sure until I dig into it..... Yahoo! Road Trip! Longroofs Rule!
