Hi y'all, I have been a long time fan of wagons. Although my dream car is a 1970 LS6 Chevelle in cortez silver, it is one that is a little out of my reach.So I satisfied myself back in 1999 with my 1963 Belair wagon. She belonged to a sales man of the mid sixties, that drove all over this fine state of Texas. From there she ended up in a yard for many years until I was able to acquire her. The only wear to the interior was the driver side of the front bench, and a rust hole in the driverside floor board. The rest of the interior was like new.The back seat had always been folded down from what I gathered when I lifet it up it was showroom fresh.The headliner had its spots of rips, no many ,just a few. The exterior was another story.Spotty rust holes here and there, and the tailgate is a waste case. Been sitting under a tree for so long that the guts of the tailgate are just gone.I mean rotted gone. The glass is good,I still have that, but I am in need of a few items to put it back in the tail gate. It has the original 235 straight 6 in her, and she purrs like a kitten.I yanked the three on the tree out, and dropped in an auto 350 turbo with shift kit and trans pac. My old knees could not handle the clutch in Houston traffic. She is a 9 passenger car, without the sump seat. I used to drive her alot up until 9 years ago. She has been in the garage ever since.Now we are moving, and I have been getting her ready for the move.New tread, fresh brake job, she started right up with a new battery.Trouble is that the fuel in the tank is varnish, and I have to clean it out before I get her running on it.May need to replace the lines as well.Never expected her to sit for 9 years... Here she is, from some pics of her about that long ago, not much has changed, only the new treads, same wheels..70 Z28 wheels. She is my baby.I am gonne love to be able to drive her again.I am hoping being on this forum will help me locate some items I am after.It seems that they come harder to find as the years go by. Anyway, thanks for having me.I look forward to some wagon conversations.
