    Looks very sweet, and if my eyes are not playing tricks on my, it looks to have the optional 'Safety Equipment Package' that is quite rare. It has front seatbelts, and it looks to have the optional padded dash. Not terribly common items when new, never mind 50-odd years later.

    If I could afford it I would buy this for my older brother. If anyone would appreciate, love and care tenderly for a wagon (even more so than 81X), he would.

    If Fox would just start buying those lotto tickets

    That's probably a 312 in there -- not many youngsters know that!
    Although 272 and 292's were all available, too. "Y" blocks.
    I'd be going 390 or better!

    OK - I'd forgot the rear distributer thing - just didn't think the vc's looked right!
    Only worked on one!
    302's a better motor - now I really want it!

    wow I thought chevy was the only make with the distributor in the back on the motor. Makes changing points that much more of a pain.

    Yeah, but the distributors didn't get wet as much sitting at the rear I think.
