not quite the same

I have sadly sold my 96 GS wagon and am going to drive it to Chicago on Friday,  Its going to a good home, a fellow member is waiting anxiously for its arrival. We are expecting a foot of snow on Monday, hope its cleared up before the journey. I was already missing my car real bad so did what every one else would do, find another one right?  So I found a 95 dggm woody, kinda rusty, really dirty, cloth interior, oily grime encrusted motor that seems to run real good at low 265000 miles. It does not compare at all to my GS, but I still have a woody and I don't need to worry about driving it in the winter. I have a long list of repairs ahead, oil leaks, window rollers, find some wheels and lose the whitewall tires, major cleaning.  Pretty cool to see a pair in the drive for a couple of days, kind of like my own wagonfest.

Nice! Second fav color. You have a new color palete to work with now! Glad you got another so soon, it means you are a diehard wagon lover.

Did it come with a hitch?

That's funny, it does have a 1-1/4 hitch on it

I've heard that there's someone on the board who can upgrade that for you.

Nice looking replacement wagon!

The new wagon looks to be in great shape in those pictures. If its crusty you don't want to see what qualifies as a rusty Canadian car

Hope you post progress pictures of the new one.

Looks can be deceiving, had the leaky sunroof issue, not sure whats holding it in as its all rusted around it, not much left of the pillars between the doors either. other than that it is in pretty good shape for 265,000 miles, paint and trim is near spotless. inside is ok other than a dog must have gotten hungry and ate most of the carpet in the cargo area and it smells like buttered popcorn real bad

Why did you sell the other one?

The mustang in background is in need of being saved

Understood! Good luck. I'm doing a bare metal re paint of my 95 Mustang GT convertible. It's in primer now, and since I don't have a fully heated garage, the painting will have to wait until spring when the weather gets a little warmer.

Love that color. Looks like all the black side trim is still on it too, nice!

Good luck with it and keep us in the loop on the repairs/mods.

I'm sorry to see your white car go, but good for you for softening the blow! Smart!

Looking forward to see what you do your new beater Longroof longmilers need love too!

Well, by the looks of it, nice wagon. The stang on the otherhand (is it a 70's sportsroof?) is certainly something to keep.

you call that rusty? I live in ohio so rust to me is a little different ,but thats a great looking wagon!

As john said,. canadian cars can get really rotten,.. thats why GM puts in such strong carpets,..

I guess that's what we get for living in cold weather areas salt kills these things

I don't think salt got my new old wagon, the floors and inner fenders as well as the majority of the body is pretty clean, the seams of the roof and the a and b pillars are really bad, I think I could put a fist trough the b pillars. Makes me cringe every time I open the doors, especially after seeing my GS wagon being so clean.

Oh yeah, I changed my avatar, that old f**d is the reason I sold my GS wagon
