My 1972 Buick Estate Wagon...finally took some pics.

Thanks Bob,
We both found our great wagons on eBay.
I have also had a little luck with craigslist in finding some parts. I have a line on some parts from a guy in NY that rescued them from a beautifully clean 72 Estate Wagon that is being derbied.
I am buying lots of trim and interior parts, glass, the luggage rack that I need, etc.
Not sure how much all this will cost to get here to Texas. Freight charges for a large pallet are probably pretty high. Hope not.

 

I wonder if thats the same guy that was going to derby that 100% rust free and beautiful 1971 Caprice Estate wagon?

 

Who knows?

The guy that I am buying the parts from is a good man that was storing the wagon on his property for the derbier, and asked the derbier not to destroy all of the good parts on it.
This guy took the time to remove glass, trim and interior that is almost always trashed when a wagon gets derbied. He tried to talk the derbier out of ruining such a nice vehicle, but couldn't sway him. At least the derbier allowed him to part it out...that's something.

The 2-seat, non-wood Estate Wagon was Nutmeg (dark brown) with saddle custom interior. Manual AC, PW, PDL, PS, perfect dash, AM/FM, exterior trim package, luggage rack, excellent front bumper, excellent window trim, tinted glass. ESTATE WAGON

Hopefully the glass and dash will arrive uncracked.
I plan to use some of these items, but not all.
Actually, who know what will show up...I hope it is a good bunch of stuff. :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

 

Well, its good that parts are being salvaged. Its good when a derbier will save as much from these cars as possible.

SOME are hard to deal with and jerk people around and know when they have a rare part a wagon owner needs. I have been lied to several times by "derbiers" that promise to sell me parts or give me parts, then they will never reply or give them to someone else.
