1973 Chevrolet Caprice Estate and 1975 Pontiac Catalina Safari

Both have a 400 V8. We've seen the Pontiac before repeatedly. The dark green Caprice Estate looks much more interesting. Asking $6000 for both.

I was told that 1975 Pontiac was going to be derbied in 2015, or did that change?

 

The Chevy looks really good. Needs some interior pics though. Those wheels and tailpipes would have to go if it were mine though. lol. The hubcaps are one of my most favorite things on the '73 Caprice / Caprice wagons.

The Pontiac looks rough... sounds like the interior is smelly to say the least. lol.

 

I'd also like to see more of the Caprice Estate. I like the colors in and out. Looks like it has power tailgate and 3rd seat. Interior pics would be great!

 

What is on the rear end of that Caprice? It looks like forklift bars.

 

Non-factory design dual exhaust pipes! Factory design has the single exhaust curl under and out of the driver-side rear quarter panel.

 

Yeah, I would like to see how the interior is optioned as well. All we know now is like you said, power gate, 3rd seat and front/rear bumper guards.

Yeah and they are not my style at all. They would be the first things to go, then the wheels. I see a lot of these wagons with those non-factory wheels. Not a fan, but that is my opinion. lol. I just prefer the original look, plus I think they look better. These look like truck wheels to me.

 

Also, am I reading it right... the Caprice wagon leaks and burns oil?

 

I sent him a message asking for more info and pictures on the Chevy Wednesday night, so far I have not heard anything back from him.

Ah. That sounds familiar, I've heard about some Clamshell Wagon like that before; Is that this very car?

Yes, that's what the description says.

 

Well, he answered my email about more pictures and information.
His response was:

I told him not to bother.

Jim

 

leaks and smokes, then cops a attitude when you ask for more info? He'll have that one a while. Shame, it wouldn't be that tough to drop in 290 hp 350.

 

That doesn't necessarily mean he wouldn't send you information if you're not a buyer though.

Is the buyer visiting this thread on the forum?

 

Wheelie bars!

 

More than I got. I emailed asking if he wanted to trade for a super nice Mercedes S-Class - not even a reply. Could have at least said no. lol.
