[net.auto] GM Mid Size Station Wagons 79-82

mls@harpo.UUCP (05/02/85)

I am looking to buy a used station wagon.  I have determined that
I want the intermediate size GM station wagon.  The large size is just
to big and a gas hog.  I had one from 1978 thru April.  I liked it
but my son did it in.  The feature that I am after is one where the
glass opens by its self so I can load items with a boat trailer
attached.  It will also allow me to carry items like a detacher with
the handle sticking out the window.  Also I can carry lumber with the
tail gate down.  However, the license can not be seen that way.  I wonder
have sensitive the police are to that.

Now for the question.  From what I have heard the 79 cars have a 200 
transmission that has a bad history.  What do you know about 80, 81, or
82 cars?  What has it cost to rebuild the transmission?
