Bought the car in the state of Indiana the end of June and had it repainted and love to drive it. All stock 340-4 with sixteen inch wheels and dual exhaust.
No. Car was originally off white and I thought gold would look better on her. Woodgrain came from Harbour sales made by Averey. Side moldings trimming the woodgrain were missing as the car was half primer when I purchased it. I used stick on molding that was the same size. Looks good on it. It's not a 100 point car by any stretch but as you know you can't build these off of parts in a catalog.
Ya! It's not like building a Chevelle which I have too. I can buy that whole car new. Buicks are a little harder to do but worth the challenge!
Oooooooooh........ VERY pretty. It's always nice to have some further incentive for the day when the kids are old enough that the 2-seat sportscar can become a daily driver again and the wagon can be my project. I'd love a big block SportWagon. Beautiful work. Please post interior shots when you can.
Hi, The wagon looks great! I hope you enjoy it. I remember that wagon was for sale by a fellow board member about 2 years ago. Take Care, Wayne
Did I see that car on Indianapolis craigslist? Some guy who worked on cars for a living, mechanic or body man, started on it and got tired of it and wanted to sell it, had gray primer here and there? You certainly made a nice wagon out of it !!!!!
I did find the car on craigslist. My brother lives in Indiana State and I scoured his neighborhood before visiting. Half of the car was in primer and it had the wire wheel covers on. The 14" tires were radials on the rear and bias up front. Combine that with original shocks and it was a scary ride. I did have it shipped to PA. Only drove it about twenty miles before re-do I will post more pics this week as the weather is better.
