    Well, S. Korea for a little bit longer. I have looked around here and became a member over a year ago. I do not own a wagon, though growing up my Dad had a 86 Caprice Classic wagon. I'm looking for a 73 Impala, Caprice whatever they are (?) wagon. I use to be big into trucks, so I have a 78 Chevy 4x4 with a brand new 6" lift project truck that I'd trade straight up. Thank you for looking at my welcome, looking forward to more pictures of these cool old rides.

    Welcome! When are you coming back to the states? Looking for a wagon when you come back?

    Thank you! I'll be back early August, and I would love to find a wagon, just waiting for the right one. I have to convince my wife they are really cool lol. I would love a 73-76 Impala or caprice wagon. Know of any?

    :Welcome: to the wonderful world of station wagons. Many people of all ages are starting to realize wagons are cool. And if into customs or rods they can be extremely kool. Check the members' wagons and others you may find around. Explain to your wife that wagons were the original SUV.

    Last time I saw this super clean 73 Impala with a 454 was a couple weeks ago in Virginia, and the price had dropped to $12,000. I bet the gas guage drops 1/4 tank every time you turn the key with that 454 under the hood.

    Welcome to the Forum from Fort Irwin! I didn't have a wagon either when I joined, but folks on the forum found the one for me. The wife and kids love it and we are going to pile in it to see the fireworks tonight. Good luck with the PCS and wagon shopping.

    Thank you everyone for the welcome!! I've always loved wagons, and now's the time to get one. I've had quite a few trucks, a Camaro and more recently a Duster. But, with a wife and 4 kids a wagon would work the best. Thank you to everyone that posted pics and links. I'm here to stay now!

    Jim 68Cuda That car is beautiful! Exactly what I want, just a little too pricey for me! Thanks for the pictures though!

    Why does this model have what looks like a "scatter shield" over the AC Comp clutch?

    Maybe just an engine compartment dress-up?

    I was wondering why it was on the left side. Was that the stock location for a 70's 454 big Chevy?

    Every '71-'76 full sized Chev wagon I've seen has been in that location.
