My old college roommate was handed down a 92 in a silvery green with that same interior, around 1996-97. His mom was a long distance commuter, and it had close to 150K on it then. He miled it up to something like 220K when he let it go, just because he wanted something faster (the car was pretty slow, and had the turning radius of the Queen Mary). He still fondly looks back on that generation, and I suspect will someday have one as a "vintage" car.
Big block wagon "king" of the road
Be still my heart - if I had money and storage space burning a hole in my pocket, I'd seriously want this. Almost the best color (I'd like a lightish/teal blue, but this works fine), highest model, preservation, not many out there like this anymore.

And did Canadian built Chevy's have speedometers in mph or kph? I really don't know. And after the "refurbishing" which was "said to have rebuilt the engine" the odometer was "reportedly reset"?
That steering wheel insert looks like it was spray painted flat black to cover (most) of the bright trim around the horn buttons and fake wood insert. Maybe the bright trim rubbed off but the insert itself looks painted with a rattle can. The fake wood insert looks like it was spray painted brown. Does anybody know what is is that small chrome fixture mounted on the dash near the digital clock?
Also I found a picture of some document stating the car's production date was "September 29, 1969" and shipping date, "September 30, 1968." Now that's a time warp collectible!
What irks me about the wagon are those hubcaps. I'd prefer correct deluxe wheelcovers
this is truly cool. If I was idle rich with an oddball collection, this would be great to have as a car mover.

I love these. Needs a complete restore at this point. A labor of love most likely.

I'm not a fan of this wagon TBH. As @omarman stated the steering wheel is messed up and looks clumsily "restored". The tilt wheel lever is also different from the turn signal and gear levers which makes me suspicious. The digital clock is a strange addition, and the undercarriage is overdone with black paint. Front drum brakes are no prize either on a car like this, and whoever thought dog dish hubcaps were a good thing when full wheel covers were standard needs their head examined. We had a '69 Impala in these same colors and that interior is the same as the Impala. I think that Chevy did that with the Kingswood Estate for some reason but it seemed a cheapskate sort of move on their part. I'm not a fan of the '69 Chevy in general - the body looks too wide for the wheel tread, and that dash wasn't particularly nice.

I laughed at the Trans Am hood chicken but this one is on a Jeep! Keeper!
Just swap out the chrome rims and replace the tires at the same time.

Whatever the downside is for owning this car you can make it all go away by stomping on the gas.
I watched this video but was thinking of Joe Carson Honda on the square in Nerk.

Good times.

For the SEC, I would replace the tires but keep the wheels, they are correct for the car. IIRC MB issued painted wheels, and chromed wheels were a dealer installed option. Kind of bland colors, but condition looks very nice, no chrome fender trim or aftermarket radio etc - good ones are holding somewhat decent values (although not compared to original MSRP - someone probably paid around 70K for that car when new).
My 2012 LaCrosse had them and since the car was black they looked awesome IMO.
I guess it’s all personal preference. I dislike black wheels on newer cars, but I know I’m in the minority on that.

Chrome wheels on cars after the late 90s generally don't work, but on traditional cars like a Buick or Caddy, just maybe.
Not a fan of black wheels. My Jag rental in Germany had them, just pulled it off due to the blackness of the car, probably wouldn't work with another color:
A few Facebook marketplace finds
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/585571285383680 These corollas have some charm. They all seem to end up with weldwheels. Either way, this looks clean
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/799708690521399 This Bonne is a litle ratty but still an OK unique driver for 4 figures
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/200749467949257 I love fuselage cars, but dislike the 440 badging on a 318 car, and that rot on the quarter is scary
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/500106834246737 This looks good for a cop car
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/878730622556273 Not a bad buy in price for a clean convertible but you'd have to undo alot of the current owners design choices
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/420165405530451 Anyone willing to save this 65 Impala? I want to smack whoever did that interior work btw
The '73 Satellite is just sad. New quarters mean new paint and even then you are stuck with a non-original interior and a hood treatment writing checks the 318 can't cash. Ridiculously overpriced.
I just know that the '72 LeMans runs like crap based on the pictures and description of the engine. People are clueless.

Cop car could be a fair deal, Bonneville would be 2x as much if it was an Impala.

"I'm selling my 1973 Plymouth Roadrunner Tribute." So just a rusty Satellite for $12K? Pass.
That '65 Chevy interior...Why? Needs everything and missing original interior/trim. Pass.
The '63 Bonneville gets my vote for coolest hi-beam indicator!

Back in ‘85 I really wanted a Celica GTS like that but they were about $4k more than the MR2 I ended up buying. No regrets on it but the Celica was a lot more car.

I had an 89 Grand Marquis at 18 so while getting a little thin on the ground not nearly as rare.

My history with it goes back even further. I first saw it when I was maybe 14 or 15, in the parking lot of the grocery store where my dad was manager. It was close to home, and we'd walk there now and then (we also discovered his 60 Ford on that walk, as it was parked between a couple buildings on the route). I pointed out the old blue MB, and I remember him saying something like "you don't see those so clean anymore". I'd see it around town now and then, and then one day I went to another store, and it was parked with a "For Sale" sign. I just had to call and take a drive as I was able to scrape and borrow the relatively small funds for a potential purchase. I feel in love with the first drive, and that was that.

As I picked away at its issues I decided that it should be painted. Once that was done people really reacted to it strongly and told me I should not be driving it in winter and foul weather. Even when the weather was good I found I enjoyed driving it much more than the Skylark, so after 3 years I decided to sell the Buick and keep the Cutlass. My dad died in 1994 and it was the last car I drove with him in it alongside me, and perhaps the most memorable (not in a good way) thing with it and him was that it was the car I drove home around 3AM after he died in the hospital. It was odd because the streets were deserted at that hour and about halfway home I got tailed by a police cruiser all the way to my apartment garage, which I did not appreciate.
Since then there have been lots of good memories and it really has become a part of me, which makes the inevitable decision to sell it more difficult. But it will happen most likely in the next few years.

It's either going to be a late 80s Panther (most likely an 89 Town Car) or a 78-79 Continental.
I certainly wouldn't repeat my 93 Taurus or 98 Olds 88!

I even liked my '78 Zephyr with the I6 and 3-speed auto. Again, though, A/C would be a nice add.
#3 was an '87 4runner SR5 with the 22RE and 5-speed stick. I'd want that equipped exactly the same. Should never have given it up.

I continue to keep and use both of my first vehicles ('69 Econoline and '69 C20). Even though it isn't necessarily the most practical thing to do, they are parts of my past that I have never even considered giving up.

I had a Dodge Spirit rental for a few days in the early '90s and really liked it oddly enough. It felt different than the original K-car it was based on and much better to drive.
I despised the look of the 1st-gen RAV4. Still do.
GM sure didn't put much effort into changing the look of the front end when they introduced the Escalade.

Spirit. Such a simple car. Great winter beater. My stepbrother’s first car was 94 V6 red over red with the gold wheels. Ugh
Eldo swap out those awful hubcaps for the touring model wheels and you have something.
Vic I swear the half tops look worse on the whale Panthers than a full one. Mine was a full cloth top and while never my choice it didn’t look nearly as out of place.

The Aerostar seems overpriced by about $4000.
