    They cut the spare tire hump out of the right rear quarter and flattened it out. Love the color, and someone did it right by painting the door jambs and frames

    How can you tell? I don't see any photos of the rear interior.

    Don't need it. The semi-circle of the spare tire space should be visible on the exterior of the right rear quarter just aft of the wheel opening and before the tailpipe - notorious for rust on the clams - it has been removed on this Pontiac.

    They are prone for rust in the spare tire well and some guys cut it out so they can run dual exhaust out both sides and keep it pulled up high close to the body. If you run it out the right side it hangs really low with the hump still there. Solid looking wagon. Love the color and it's close to me. Wish I had the Camaro and Trans Am done. I would love to have this one

    I saw this on here a few days ago and got terribly excited. Wife gave me the green light on the car.

    Contacted the seller, whose website showed that it was still available, and he told me it was already gone. Claimed it had no rust, too.
