We had wagons growing up as well. I have had a few, here is my current one. I picked up from a local guy, the original owner for very cheap. Its a 1968 Buick Sport Wagon 400 (basically a GS400 with a differnt body). It has just about ever option. The paint is shot, and there is a little cancer on the body, but it is drop dead reliable. I drive it all the time.

I used to know a guy in Pasadena, CA who had one of those. He was referred to me since I owned a DB4, he though it was a chop job when he considered buying it at some used car lot. I was honest with him and told him it was factory, and very rare.

Would love to have one of these if they would bring them to No. America..

Built using the ugly stick.......

This was the one my parents had, ours was yellow with the fake wood. Very nice.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1319214295.jpg

My parents had a '64 Chevelle 2 door wagon. Gawd it was neat...kind of a mini Nomad, the back windows slid open. Alas, mom left the keys in it, got stolen by a couple of punks who trashed it. They got caught when they tried to sell the wheels/tires to a local wrecked-em yard. It was just a 283 2 bbl. with 3 on the tree.

This website shows pics of others. Didn't know there were only 1100 made. No wonder I didn't see many around. Damn, the first & 2nd ones in the pics here are gorgeous...

1964 Chevelle Wagons

My folks had a '72 Ford LTD wagon with a 429 it broke the 120 range more than once

In the '80s when the 5.0 mustangs ruled the streets it would beat the 5.0s!

My dad has a thing for power.
