My new wagon is loaded and heading home

First off thanks to this site for hooking me up with my next wagon. I found this 73 Calrice Estate on here. It was loaded this morning and is headed home. Hopefully be here late tonight or sometime tomorrow. Once it gets here I will get tons of new pictures and post them on here. I know it needs a new gas tank(already bought) front bumper fillers(already bought) and wheels and tires(already bought). I hope it is a good one. Time will tell



Here it is loaded and heading home

 

Congrats, Swanny!
Can't wait to see it.

 

Congratulation Swanny! Can't wait to see her!

 

Can't wait to see it also!

 

Congrats on the new wagon!

 

It sure looks like a good one! That original woodgrain is looking very nice!
Best of luck with it, Swanny!

Looks good! Congrats on the new find.

 

Car arrived here around 9pm. Very happy with it. It does have a small amount of rust on the right lower fender, small spot on each dogleg and some around the rear windows. Interior is pretty good. Has a small tear on the front seat on the side, not noticeable with the door shut, door panels are perfect, dash pad is almost perfect, has no cracks but the speaker hole in the center has a crack in it. Rear seat is perfect, carpet is excellent. Headliner has a couple small rips clear in the back, rear interior panels have a couple small tears. Under the hood is excellent, clean, unmolested. Woodgrain is decent, not great. I will have to replace it at some point. Tires are junk but that does not matter. Car has very few options which kinda sucks. Has A/C, clock, factory tow package with air shocks and power rear window. Overall a pretty good car. I hope to get the tank dropped this week, rebuild the carburetor, replace wheel and tires and get it detailed up some. I will get some pictures of it tomorrow once there is daylight

 

Hey swanny you had listed a good price on a clam gas tank on another thread where was that at?

 

Hey Swanny good stuff! As long as the rust is no worse than what you bargained for then it shouldn't be too much of a problem, and yes it is a pity it is as basic as it for a Caprice but it is still pretty good value for what you paid though. Hope it is up and running in no time, oh and don't forget, it needs a new bucket as well!

 

Wagonkiller, Skinny in Chicago has one tank that is like brand new for $100 with sending unit. He is on facebook or wecrash

 

Just received a call from the previous owner. He has the original owners manual, warranty paperwork, inspection, AND the original title when it was bought new. SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pretty excited about this

 

Congrats on your wagon!

 

good for you, looks awesome
