Notice his engine description.....Disproves the idea that 'everyone' thinks the Pontiac 400 is a 'Big Block'.

Funny one DJ.

The one below got me started laughing @ this part of the ad:

"If you have to ask permission to buy this item it is not for you. I don't want to see y'all getting owned and told can't have it so please leave the women at home..."

He's right - it's always better to ask for forgiveness afterwards rather than permission before.

I wonder if the body can be removed and remounted on a regular '60 frame?

I would never do that to an original car, but since it's already been done... I kinda like it.

Could be a good deal if they still have the catalina chassis so you could put it back together.

I have a complete '60 Catalina safari chassis that this could drop right on. Too bad I'm in NC.

That's a pretty nice wagon. Not crazy-hard to put it back where it should be and love the color on that particular car.

I don't really like any of these conversions. But, I must admit that this one looks better than any I've seen. It's not the hermaphrodite that most of them are.
