1969 Buick Sportwagon

Description

Here's the wagon you wish your parents had and/or wish you bought to quickly get your young brood all around town. Now this 1969 Buick Sportwagon is a great vintage machine to carry family and friends to all the events, and it can even tow the toys. This wagon was built to to be a reliable and comfortable towing machine.

You paid more for a Buick back in the day, and even more for a wagon, so style was essential. The sweeping sides look great, with a contoured trim piece that seamlessly swoops over the fenders and through the door line. It helps to highlight the curves that make this Skylark-based wagon look like a bird of prey. Overall, it's an amazing work of art that car companies wouldn't even attempt today, and you can see all of it so well thanks to great care and good gloss in the Avocado Green (that just seems like the perfect 60s-70s color, right?) But more than just curvaceous sheetmetal, this has all the great classic wagon elements like the roof rack and premium second-row sunroof. But the Sportwagon also lives up to the first half of its name with the induction hood, tinted windows, and Buick's iconic Rallye wheel package.

Inside, the buckskin tan vinyl looks delightfully original, right down to the textured pattern in the seats that also match the door panels. Buick was also artful with their design for the driver. The factory steering wheel has a stretched horn design that coordinates nicely with the extra wide speedometer right beyond it. All the essential elements are set in the bright trim panel, including an upgraded retrosound AM/FM stereo and provisions for factory air conditioning. These are important features, because this Sportwagon is really the perfect classic to enjoy with family and friends. After all, not only is there plenty of room to seat six, but also that cavernous rear section means nothing gets left at home. The dual-open tailgate and power rear window will be your favorite tailgating friend no matter if you're hanging out at pee-wee football or the car show. Plus, with a modern trailer hitch and electric plug, you never have to leave the big toys at home.

Another reason why you can tow what you like is because of what's under the hood. This Buick proudly shows off its period-correct 350 cubic-inch powerplant. The ultra-clean engine bay has bright Dante Red paint on the block, unique Buick valve covers, and the great GS 350 decal – everything that people love to see at the car shows. But this engine is not just for show, it was rebuilt 3,500 miles ago and includes a TA performance cam and Stage 1 intake, HEI ignition, and a built for towing TH350 tranny. And not only can you easily spot the cool ram air induction, but also below that is the added power of a Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor. It's a total package that gives you everything you want in a powerful vintage cruiser. That also includes nice driving features like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes and rebuilt front and rear suspension.

Seeing a wagon this cool is always a rare sight that attracts attention. So when something so unique and versatile is also so affordable, then you know you have to hurry to take it home. There are too many new parts to list so please call for details. Call today!!!
