Re: V8 Wagon?

Flared wheel arches, yes.  All red tail lights, no.  Only the V8 got
those.  But they're easily converted, I've heard.  I believe the front
treatment is probably doable as well, although not just a direct swap. 
Sounds like someone who had some front and rear body work, either
necessary or elective, and had some imagination.  I'm sure it would look
a LOT better on any other color than gold though.  Sorry, personal
preference.
