DragCat Posted June 1 Author Posted June 1 Just speaking of the interior, if those front seats are period correct , comfort city. My 2004ish were like lazy boy comfort, much better than recent/newer models IMHO 2 Quote

I’m lucky if she’ll even sit it one. lol. I had to move the DC car out of the garage for her party. She wanted it out so she got to steer it while I pulled it out with the Gator. Her only words were “ it stinks in here”, Women. But it was her first time behind the wheel of a first gen. lol. O yeah she also said “ no brakes”. 1 8 Quote

MCfan Posted June 3 Posted June 3 His reserve is not met yet - I'm guessing it is at least $15K, possibly more. It appears to be a fairly well-executed, one-off, head-turner with some serious, albeit specialized, utility. It's the happy marriage of the Beauty and the Beast! Vintage 4X4 Chevy capability with the classic beauty and comfort of a first gen Monte! Wish I had something I needed to tow!! 😍 3 Quote

420ponies Posted June 4 Posted June 4 Reserve not met at $12,600. I think I remember this was on eBay a few years back, didn't meet reserve either. 2 Quote
502ci Posted June 4 Posted June 4 That Chevelle station wagon 4x4 in my opinion does not look right with such large diameter rims and the fact they are sticking out so far. Quote

Dtret Posted June 10 Posted June 10 It didn’t go the first time, let’s try it again. Maybe the reserve was lowered. 1 Quote
