That's in great shape given location. Great color as well. I own a '95 Caprice Wagon as well. Bought it from the original owner with around 80K on the clock. Blue/blue. Have the original window sticker. Sold for 25K. I'll tell you three things: 1) It has road presence. It's weird and hard to explain, but no one fucks around when they see the behemoth cometh. 2) It literally is a sofa on wheels. Think of those huge Lincolns and Caddys in the 60's and 70's. Floats like a butterfly. 3) It actually gets a lot of comments. Not something you see everyday. But the best one is...you put it in reverse and it does the "beep beep beep" sound. I lol everytime.

Amazing thing is we look at some of these cars like the Eagle and think what the hell...but back then when you were a kid you were like "holy poo poo, this is a 4x4 and can go anywhere." Suburu Brat also comes to mind.

For those USA based, would driving a school bus converted into a roving Pirate Ship require a Class A or lower such as a Chauffeur's license? Asking for a friend.

Always liked the Ferrari ordering process. Sort of like Porsche but to a greater degree. Overwhelmed with options and very rarely do you get something that is agreeable.

Got back from the Labor Day weekend auction in my neck of the woods. Was interesting to see where values were. Granted I and my BIL were looking at a thousand cars so memory will be hazy, but the interesting ones were what they sold at compared to their value so you could compare. Then you start to develop trends in your minds...you know how it works. There was one car that from a percentage perspective that far exceeded it's estimated value. (If you never done this before, they have a sheet on the windshield on its estimated value. Sold ones get a sold sticker on it stating what it sold for.) My back of the mind/napkin math was a RX-7 FD. Estimated to be around 25K and sold for 30K. It was dang immaculate. There were no Supras that I spotted. The unsold lot was filled. Lots of interesting things.
