My new wagon is loaded and heading home

thanks swanny I had one and scrapped it was good but used and I have a brand new one I do not want to sell

 

Not knowing that when you bought it at the time makes all that bit sweeter.

 

whats he go by? did not see Skinny on wecrash

 

Congrats on the new wagon! Looks great!! Post up more pics when you can.

 

Sounds great! Cant wait to see the photos of it! It does stink that is it a fairly low optioned car, but it is a '73 Caprice Estate and that is awesome!

 

Yeah it's a 73. BUT, I am working a deal on a Awesome 72 Kingswood right now. Will keep everyone advised if I get it

 

Hmmm are you planning a swap with 72Kingswood perhaps?

 

No swap, I bought a killer 72 Kingswood.

 

We want pics!

Fantastic, well done, you are really on a roll! Have you done the deal yet? When can you give us an update?

 

I have commited to buy it. Just waiting for him to send me the final details on how the deal needs put together. Will get pictures up once I have the deal totally done

 

Swanny, is this 2 deals in as many weeks or have you just found the ONE that's perfect from downunder

 

Show us the mill! Show us the mill!

 

I bought the 73 because it was a good deal and would fill the void of not having a wagon. Once I got it home I realized how much I liked the rear of the 72-73 wagons with the bumper pulled in tight. So I have known about this 72 for along time and have always loved it. It is NOT a woodgrain car but it is just an awesome wagon. So I contacted the guy and the deal was struck. Now I have to figure out what to do with the 73

 

I am really torn. The more I look at my 73 the more I love it. And for what I am paying for the 72 I could REALLY make this 73 a kick a** car. They have identical options.......NONE except for A/C and the 72 has a power tailgate. Otherwise they are identical. But I cannot see paying a lot of money only to gain the power gate. I can get new woodgrain on the 73 for under $1,000. We can basecoat/clearcoat it this winter for another $1,000 and I will have less than $5,500 in it. Attached are more pictures of my 73. It shows the rust it has and how nice the interior really is. The last picture is of the 72 I am suppose to buy. What do you guys think??????????????
