    Don't care for the color (I don't think I've ever seen a Custom Cruiser in this color), but otherwise looks pretty good. I see Tempmatic A/C, cruise control, power tailgate (but no rear window defogger), power windows and door locks (can't see if the seats are power), third seat, luggage rack, AM/FM stereo (no 8-track). Is missing the hood insulation pad. I can't tell if it has tilt wheel, but I don't think so.

    I would call it optioned typically for day. Doesn't have every option, but has the ones most people wanted.

    We had a neighbor with a ‘75 Buick Estate wagon that color. Before that one they had an orange’72 Estate with a black and white interior. Gotta love those ‘70’s colors!

    I had a 74 delta 4 door the same color inside and out. The color got more attention then brown or tan for sure!

    I give it credit for having all of the wood appliqué in the steering wheel.

    The price is reasonable but the color is a no go for me...such a shame because I’ve been searching high and low for a clamshell

    If you like everything else, consider a repaint. Changing the paint to white should not be too tough. Clamshells like this are increasingly hard to find.

    One of my friends from high school, his parents had a identical wagon to this one. We took that land yacht to countless Buffalo Bills games in Orchard Park and concerts at the now gone Buffalo Auditorium! We would jam 6-8 bodies into it most times ( hey who forgot the deorderant!) Longroofs Rule!

    Or, edv96buick, just try to live with it as is. The paint seems to be original and presentable. As the old song says "if you can't be with the one you love, love the one your with".

    Probably a little room for price negotiation with the seller, but being a third of the price that a couple have recently gone for, it's hard to argue it's over-priced. Most certainly going to need a lot of hoses, weather strips and a few broken things fixed, but it's not a bad start. Too bad your former $4,000 project wagon purchase is now 5 figures.......
