Default New addition ....
Susan and I picked this wagon up near Cleveland, Ohio. It is a 326 4 bbl with automatic trans. The front seats are buckets that need covered in the blue tri tone to match the rear seat. The body is 99% rust free. It is a project car that was started in 2001 as a super duty clone with a stock running gear. The previous owner was replacing it with a '63 coupe. We were fortunate to be in the right place at the right time...1500 miles and $560 in gas later it made it to Iowa. It needs some mechanical work to get running and bumpers, as well as the bucket seats recovered.

Default Susan's
Stan, I am claiming the wagon. This convertible is Susan's. The body and paint is done. She is waiting patiently for me to put it together! It is getting a red top to match the red interior.
