Thanks for helping me...
Yeah, the color green is horrible... looks like a puke green pea primer ![]() I have got time with the car... I´m thinking about "what can i do with it..." bevor i get buying the car... <u>My idea(s):</u> - 90% Original - two tone color paint (white / green?) - alternative: scooby doo color ![]() - new (tiki) interieur (two tone seats and so on...) - engine rebuilt, but original - modern 15" wheels... maybe 8" in front, 10" or 12" rear - Surfboard strap on the roof - tow bar for boat trailer (driving license for boats cost ~USD800,- here... i will do this in 2010 ![]() I like the car... but i´m not a millionaire... Whats the problem exactly with the tailgate? And what does it cost this ride in the U.S.? Thanks pals ![]() |

The other thing is, I guarantee you that restoring that wagon will be absurdly difficult. It wasn't easy restoring my '68 442, and they're somewhat popular (not really, but way more than an '75 Olds wagon).
You're definitely better off finding one like Jim had here in the US and shipping it. In the long run, the cost comparison to a resto won't even be close. |

If you're stuck on getting a Clamshell and bothering to import one, go for the Chevy w/ the 454!.
Like this deal.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/chevrolet...SRCHQ3aUSQ3a101 Cool cars but I had my fill of clams when taking my apprenticeship as the local funeral home had a few Clamshell hearses we'd service and guess who got stuck lying in the back pulling headliners and fooling w/ the upper window tracks etc.. ![]() ~ Pete

Wow, that was pretty good money for that wagon too. Not in that great of shape. Guess the 'ol Kingswoods are finally getting their day in the sun, so to speak.
