NMNA.

1974 Pontiac Lemans Wagon

For some reason I want this way more than I think I should

So much steel in one place.

Rear facing third row seats were fun. Being able to make faces at the motorists behind us was totally worth the occasional episode of motion sickness

Cracked windshield or tint lifting? Available replacements?

I'd redo the signage on the fender, using the same font I'd change it from "Serene Acres" to "Soylent".

I look at where the rear wheels are relative to the tailgate, then I look at those humongous curved shapes on either side, outboard of the 3rd seat, and I ask myself what in the hey GM was thinking. What could possibly be under there? Are they accessible storage bins or something?

What an era.

What an ugly duckling.

In reply to Stealthtercel:

The round hump on the passenger side is where the spare tire goes maybe?

In reply to 914Driver:

Looks cracked, you can see a crease on the roof from the impact. I'd assume it's just a regular A body windshield that you probably can get anywhere.

I'd love that for a tow rig / DD, if I could afford the fuel.

I was hoping Serene Acres was a cemetery and this was a hearse, somehow.

On the starboard side, it's the spare tire. The normal place you'd put it is taken by the tailgunner seat.

The plastic nose of that thing is in astoundingly good condition. I'd rock that.

That's awesome. Looks pretty cancer-free, which would go along with the story of it being a FL/GA car.

A running Pontiac 400 is a big plus, even if it is the wimpy 2-barrel version. That is just a call to Butler Performance away from big horsepower and torque.

I had a Scout leader that had a wagon that colour, but it was a Chevy.

We called that colour Puke Green and that is still the term I use for it!!!

Given the rust peeking through on it I don't think that's plastic!

My older brother has a very similar wagon--- a 77 Olds Vista Cruiser. He built the Olds 350 to around 400hp, and it's a blast-- sounds glorious. He'd probably sell it for under $5K if anyone is interested. (he has over $5K in the motor alone) The exterior is faded (woodgrain of course), and it has slight rust here and there--- but it is badass!
