It doesn't look to have been in an accident. Look at the front door hinges I would bet that the pins and bushings are shot. More common on the 2 door G bodys but it can cause a sagging door on a wagon as well.
 
First off...Welcome to GBF!!! You can run the vin # through carfax and that should help you out...and to be ho 8) 8) nest with you, if there's no frame damage...Who cares if it's been hit? Hell mine was hit at some point in it's life, but hey, she looks pretty damn good...It's a nice looking wagon from what can be seen from the pics and looks clean.......Get more pics for us and btw, how much can you score it for???
 
Thanks for the welcome it is not OFFICIAL yet but before the day is over I will have my wagon!!


I got him down to $1200 and its a fresh paint job but there are $473 in back DMV fees he was asking $1600 originally, I also found another on with a 305 and it has tilt wheel manual windows also white, for $1400 pretty decent interior.

welcome thats a nice wagon.... id try and get it down to 1000!!! if he has no other buyers then he will def take 1000!!!
 
I am guessing not. My wagon's doors fit like sh*t too! The gap at the top of the door is way different between front and back doors when I have the body line matched up. I just don't think GM originally put much craftsmanship in getting these doors to fit good.
 
I am going to go with the 305 v8 its got 119k and the guy sent me pics he lost his license so he can't drive it any longer will post pics as soon as I get it home me and the misses are heading over there now!!

Wish me luck!!!
 
It does look a bit suspect to me. I think it could have taken a hit on the right front. Maybe you are better off going with the other wagon with the 305 and tilt. Post some pics of that one. Panel fit wasn't the greatest with these cars, but still not as bad as what you've shown us in the pics.
Also, check the rear frame rails between the rear axle and rear bumper for rust. aside from checking the door bottoms, lower panels, etc. Good luck with your choice.
 
I'd be looking at the body mounts...they have a habit of shifting the body around when a couple or more are shot
