I used to love those big 1960/70s american luxo-barges and owned four in the years betwween 1988 and 2006:
1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham - paid $200 gave to Salvation Army.
1972 Imperial - paid $200. Stolen by the guy where I was parking it.
1975 Buick Electra Ltd gift from friend sold for $1500.
1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. paid $800 sold ten years later for $800.

What kind of condition was that '75 Electra in? Was it a 2-door or 4-door? The '75-76 Electra is another guilty pleasure I wouldn't mind owning an example of one day.
 
Those '69-73 Imperials with the hidden headlights were cool, too.

Did you catch the article on the 1969-73 big Dodges in the latest edition of "Collectible Automobile?"
 
Isn't it true they forbid one from entering one of those 1969-73 Imperials in a demolition derby because they'd destroy just about any other make entered? I heard that 1971-76 full-size Chevrolets are excellent demo derby contenders, though I would never dream of entering such a beautiful car in such a destructive sport.

Endangered 1970s Cars by lemko

I'm sure I'm not the only one disturbed by it, but doesn't it make you wince when they crush 1970s American cars in monster truck shows or destroy them in demo derbies? Shoot, I don't want to have to go to a museum to see a 1975 Buick Electra Limited someday.

Those clamshell wagons are an endangered species today thanks to demo derbies
 
I remember when I was a kid and I went to my first demo derby, this would have been in the mid 80s. I remember a lot of mid-late 60s material in it, and a 60 Caddy flat top sedan. Even then I was kind of shocked something like that was being ruined.

that one actually looks pretty nice, and certainly is reasonable. Assuming, of course, there isn't anything klugy about it.
 
Icould live with that myself. Not qute sure what the kid would think about it! Just needs a set of alloys.
 
Now, too bad it is way up in Matawan. If it was close I would go look.

The more I thought about that wagon, the more I thought it may be a scam posting. I emailed the seller, so we'll see.
 
Remind me again where the heck you are located. I can't seem to remember.

The wheels are worth more than the car.
 
Depreciation.
 
Probably has 6 billion miles, but it's a Honda.
 
Last of the lightweight sport coupes.
 
This one just screams Andremobile.
