    Man that's a great looking survivor inside and out.
    Only problem is it didn't survive!

    It will probably sell for that depending on how bad the floors are

    The ad says it's complete. Doesn't look very complete to me!

    Screw patina, paint , and wood, this is at best a $500 (maybe???) parts car at best!

    So you don't like the enterior or something? :disagree:
    Looking at the engine bay and the rest it looks like it's been in a flood or hurricane.

    Yes, it looks like half the interior is gone.

    Actually if they'd just cleaned it out and cleaned it up it would have helped. The floor area looks decent. Hard telling how the outside would look with a good cleaning.
    The body is straight and the chrome and bumpers seem decent.

    Looked like it was getting prepped for a final death by derby.

    That would be sad - such a final favorite for a 1970s GM clam derby favorite.

    Wonder what happened to this particular 1976 Caprice Estate wagon? :oops:

    Oh, maybe about 20 years of neglect to keep the thing clean in the cargo area?

    I have to say, it doesn't look very appealing to a high dollar buyer (who seeks to buy so he can drive more than work on a car) to have leaves in front of the cabin air intake:

    And what happened to the middle and maybe rear seats?
