  1. National Impala Association is a good one as is the VCCA. I'd join the one that has a chapter, or even a less formal group, close by. Check with john348 and Steve Pollard. They seem to be very in tune to the Chevrolet club world.
  2. Have you done a deep clean on the fuel system? From tank to injectors. Sounds like old gas may be causing issues. Even if you have fresh gas, it may be dissolving varnish and other crap in the tank that will keep fouling injectors, plugs and fuel filters way longer than you'd think. There's an active Reatta forum a little farther down. Lot of knowledge there. https://forums.aaca.org/forum/11-buick-reatta/
  3. Spend a couple hundred having it professionally detailed including freshening up the faded load floor carpet. Is it worth asking money? If a western Pennsylvania car isn't rusty, possibly. But as with all AMC, it has to find the right buyer. According to Standard Catalog 1946-75, looks like most of AMC's 1974 wagon trade was in the Hornet line with 67709 made. Only 9709 1974 Matador wagons were built and over 2/3 were V8 powered, but no breakout on 304/360/401. 7070 Ambassador wagons went out the door. So these are kinda rare beasts. But y'all must remember I'm a wagon nerd!🤗🤓
  4. Maybe a tad overpriced for a bottom-line four-door sedan but I like this big Osemobeel! 😎 Put a proper width set of wide whites on and it's 1959 all over again. Would like to know what that switch below the aftermarket gauge trio is. It looks like the light switch on my 135 Ferguson tractor!
  5. Here's a WAG. But seems like there'd be one with red tint too if they were nautical. Which side of the road were the French driving on when these were produced? Gorgeous pieces BTW.
  6. Listed as 1967. Makes sense as most full-size Chevrolets were on 14" wheels thruout the 60s, and if another Division had a 15" cap that could be easily adapted for the limited Chevrolet 15" market, why not? Change the plastic center piece and wa-la! https://www.ebay.com/itm/204710220929?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=204710220929&targetid=1645685075248&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=1027096&poi=&campaignid=20398193995&mkgroupid=150311025254&rlsatarget=pla-1645685075248&abcId=9317236&merchantid=6296724&gad_source=1
  7. I do too. For the money, I hope it hasn't fallen into the hands of a flipper or, worse, an individual who has fantasies of a street rod with modern underpinnings.
  8. This 67 Buick is down in the "not mine- for sale" forum. Those 69 big Chevy caps sure look like the same cap with a different center plastic. Not that the General would ever go raiding another Division's parts bin...🤗
  9. Wow. Still has the Ford factory carpet floormats. If you were in the market for a big 70s DeSade, it probably wouldn't be a big deal to color match that paint on the scratch and header panel. Shift indicator is likely a minor issue, either a spring or a wire. Big disadvantage is that at 4500 lb curb weight even the standard 2-barrel 460 would be a thirsty beast. Though to its credit it appears pretty much unmolested underhood.
