WTB Relic/Old School Stationwagon

[civic_stylez]

So me and a few of Calgary's tuning industry staff are looking for a 70's to 80's stationwagon.... if youre an 80's kid, theres a good chance your parents/extended family owned one of these gems. Im talking about the wagon that carried the Griswalds on their adventure in Family Vacation or the hideously refined wagon in Harry and the Hendersons.... some of you must have a grandparent with a classic beauty sitting in the garage or in an alley.

A few things...
- must be older (latest model would be a chevy caprice wagon)
- ghetto wood paneling prefered
- uglier the interior, the better
- preferrably running condition
- low cost... (obviously)

Your mail box is full so I will put up the info here.
He actually doesnt want a whole lot for it. $1500
The engine was a 425 before it got bored out.I was told there is over 5 grand worth of old skool engine mods(HP carb, racing cam, etc)The racing cam makes it sound like a dragster with that real low rumble.There is a third row seat that folds flat in the back.
Feel free to ask me any questions.
Empty your mail box and I will pm you his number.
