Recently got back from a cross country trip and as usual I'm always looking for old car stuff.
Found this resting in the Eastern Washington desert climate. Could easily be saved, IMHO.
How tough is finding a new rear gate glass?

Anyone looking for a Nomad project??

Any glass shop would be able to get a window for that. Its the motor if indeed it was an electric window thats the hard part to find.

Intresting. I would have thought something like that could have been easier to obtain by any good glass shop. Maybe that should be added to the list of parts that should start being reproduced again.

I have a complete dual action electric gate off a 70. Let me know if you need glass or parts.

You should inquire about getting this wagon if for no other reason than for parts. The gas tanks are hard to find and not reproduced. As well as many other parts..........

I need another Chevelle project or parts car - NOT!
Wish I had a couple of Acres, I'd consider it, but probably not in the cards anytime soon.
I figure it's been sitting for over 20 years where it at, so I can let it wait for me....;)

You can tell it's been there a while, look at the double white line tires. They're the originals I bet.

If I didn't know any better I would say this is mine. Right down to the color!
