| I will pay fair coin for a super clean low mile 94-96 long roof. Would prefer unmolested southern cars or professionally done conversions.
I have waited too long to do this - distracted by German cars - I'm coming home...
The goal is a transcontinental cruiser.
Cheers | |

| What is your definition of "low mileage"? The youngest wagon out there is now almost 19 years old. @ an average of 10K miles a year.......
Buick? Chevy? Wood or not? Color preference? | |

| Under a 100k. But that really depends. I want something that has been maintained. I rather have a 200k car that has had all you would expect replaced ( anything that is rubber for example) than something that has been sitting outside forever with 30k. I should have been a little more clear. All my stuff is over a 100k. All 1984-85.
A all there straight survivor is fine - less money though. Again depends. Run it up the flagpole.
Weather O,B,C. I may defer to the elders here. I suspect parts for Chevy are easier than a Olds? Would prefer anything but blue or black. It costs a fortune to paint a mid size bmw- it must be insane to paint one of these sleds. I could consider Der a wrap though.
Bottom line is I will consider anything really clean. If it's been up north- it better have been babied.
Also I see that there is a desired instrument panel- could some explain? Talking about a optional panel from a SS? | |

| Where are you located? Lots of rust free examples in the Pacific Northwest.
I'm not sure about Chevys, but on the Buick I actually much prefer the earlier 91-93 dash that actually has gauges. The 94-96 has a speedo, fuel and coolant temp and a bazillion warning lights.
The door trim in the 94-96 Buick is about the most pathetic design I've ever seen.
The LT1 is pretty nice though.
Good luck! | |

| Personally I would go with an LT1 car 94 to 96. This will preclude the Olds as they were only available in 91/92. Certain pieces of trim are getting hard to find for the woody cars. I would recommend a factory wood delete car is you can find one that floats your boat and meets your criteria.
The 94/95 Caprice Wagon/Sedan and Impala SS share the same cluster. In 1996 the SS received an analog cluster. (Which is not easily transferable to the Wagon). A number of folks have installed a Z28 cluster. (Similar look and adds a tach).
I suggest you use the forums search function and educate yourself re popular modifications and factory options.
Good luck with your search. The right car is out there. However given that they are now getting long in the tooth, expect to pay for a pristine example or have a budget set aside to build a clean car to your taste. | |
