I'm falling victim of the GD Facebook crap, so went to "2015" version.
Anyway, once again Keith, you are correct it seems. Not the first mistake in these Pontiac Mag articles, but they are cool anyway. There are (6) Wagons.

Here are some great articles on these amazing cars, the 3rd one attached is on the Wagons.

https://www.supercars.net/blog/1963-...21-super-duty/


It states: "Four were destroyed and a fifth was recently found minus almost all the distinguishing special factory equipment, making the car in the article the only complete example in existence. Along with the Union Park SD station wagon, it has been a central piece of Dana Mecum’s collection of rare Pontiac factory racers. It was sold at Dana Mecum’s 2010 Original Spring Classic Auction for $455,000 USD."

The engine was much more street- able, and still churned out a massive 370 hp and over 460 lb-ft of torque.

I think there were 267 Built

I have the X-400 in this Article, here it is:

[TRADERMIKE 2012]

Mike has a few more x-400 photos:

[TRADERMIKE 2012]

Mike found a few remainders of the x-400, from what I can remember, when I last viewed the Text that went with these photos, the Vehicle was used year after year by the factory and they changed the front and rear clips to suit and showed the car as is in the year of display. The person who rebuilt this Car could not find the original Motor and it too changed from year to year. I believe he had to custom make some parts using 3-D printing.

Yeah - they were only 200 - 220 HP, but the ~320 ft lb of torque in a heavy car made for a real tire burner.
I remember smoking the crap out of those god-awful Uniroyal meats with my T/A 6.6 Bandit.

Mikes Reply: After reading my last post about a 455 Old's Engine Dyno, it is proved that the Muscle car error ended with low compression Torque monsters.

I remember a guy, at the local bar, driving a Gold Firebird TA , doing Doughnuts' and burnouts in the empty parking lot, late at night.

Below on the Banshee, Delorian should have made the Roof removable and then inserted it into the Trunk manually. JMO.
