Nice to be with wagon people :)

I am Ken and have had wagons since i was 16 ( 53 now ) I curently own a 1965 Buick Sportwagon a nice Cali car fact air and a redone interior. I am also looking at getting a 69 Sportwagon as well this spring. I am negotiating the details now I have owned probably 20+ wagons and always love them I bought my oldest son a 1965 Pontiac laurentian Safari wagon that was originally sold to AVIS rental cars in 1965 in Calgary Alberta and a 3 seat wagon to boot !!! it was in a feild from 1976 until last March all i did was change the motor and trans and it runs great

Nice to meet you all I will be back from time to time and see how the site is going

Wow with a collection like that I see why you need to live in Alberta!

 

Can't be for the cheap fuel. No PST though.

You don't want to adopt a couple of us old guys, do you?

Like Andy said, that one heck of a fleet!

 

Nice collection of cars, there Ken. I can't decide which I like better, the Pontiac or the Buick, but it looks like you're a huge Buick fan, so I'll go for the Buick. Thanks for posting the pictures and welcome aboard. Glad you found us.

 

to the wagon train, Ken. You have a great selection of oldies. Hey....why not just drop an LT1 in that RX7?

 

Ken. That sport wagon is gorgeous. Not so much the Pontiac but hey, it could be much worse. Tell your son to apply a little elbow grease and that Pontiac will be just a nice as that Buick. It sure is BIG. Make that a lot of elbow grease.

I'm jealous. Thanks for the pictures.

 

Thanks guys and the pontiac wagon is 100% orignail paint!!! and thats all it has done from being oin a feild for 30+ yrs not bad he is making a low rider from it :confused:

the Sportwagon is mostly original and the floor boards are even still painted black from the free mont factory amasing rust free car !!!

the RX7 is gettong and aluminum V8 because the last 81 RX7 i did had a 350 SBC and 2004r OD trans was great but the 215 ( stroked to 305 ) only weighs 310 lbs dressed:2_thumbs_up_-_anima and i have an adaptor for the 280ZX 5spd trans as well should be a nice easy swap


and I am know as MR Buick in Calgary so i am partial to Sportwagons

the sportwagon will soon be receiving the 350 SBB 2004R od trans 3.31 posi diff and cruise as well as charge the air cond i am also installing a hidden DVD , NAV and back up cam behind the speaker grill hidden ubtil i remove the grill should be not too bad
