70 Kingswood Chic C/L

Neat mild custom but how'd the tailgate get so rusty when the rest of the car supposedly is rust free?

 

Is that really rust or is the applique just pealing off?

Says the seller:

 

being a smart ass, again---

If they really want all of that $4,000, the least they can do is vacuum the floor in the back seat! And what's with the yellow wire hanging down out of the dashboard?

 

I like this. I like the price as well. I know a tailgate will be impossible to find but they are out there. And I would remove and shave and smooth over those lights and paint it all white. I'll relocate the backup lights to the reflector housings in the bumper. That's the only thing I don't like about 69-70 wagons are those extra lights on the tailgate. The '65 and '68 are round and look good and even the 66-67 style ones are OK, but those 69-70 ones look like an afterthought.

I had an opportunity to get a 1969 Kingswood Estate as my first car. It was at the same Firestone shop I got my $100 Cutlass from. It had a 427 in it and it ran and drove, was very rough and rusty, but it needed brakes and a windshield. For $400 and needing that work I chose the '75 Olds sedan instead.
