Cheers,I am posting my wagon for sale .It is in West Chester Pa. (outside Philly)It is a big block a/c car ,two row with power windows. It needs a full restoration but is pretty solid. frame is good floors are good (some pin holes in spots) some rust under the windshield,right quarter is hit but looks fixable.There is a pinhole in the fuel tank (out of the car).It does run and move in the driveway but i don't know about trans shifting gears.I have two good fenders ,gs hood and grill to go with it also extra chrome ,taillights and some nos small stuff.Looking to get $2000 for it.I was going to restore it but a new project fell in my lap Thanks Tim
It is the original engine, I have had the hood for twenty years, I'm pretty sure it's decent but I will did it out to double check I do have the pig pulley ac compressor. (323 open rear)
Great deal for sure worth the money for just the parts if a full restoration was going to be too much
Cheers ,I dug out the fenders and the gs hood .Left fender is very nice, right fender is good ,hood is nice also .I posted a few pictures . thanks Tim
Hope I'm not out of line here, but I'm pretty sure you have/had (if you sold everything) a new headliner for it too.
These Big Block Sport wagons are super cool. What are the production #'s built of Big Block Sport wagons?
I've had a couple of them. Between the BB & the roof windows, I always preferred the '68-69 SW 400's to the '70-72's.
I think it was a cost move. Both the Buick and Olds A wagons were two bodies per division-longer with raised roof, shorter without. Olds used the same ‘68-‘69 stampings for the ‘70-‘72 because they weren’t too ‘different’ and worked with the newer front sheetmetal. Buick’s ‘stepwagon’ was too distinct, forcing a redesign, and apparently Buick chose to only do a 116” wheelbase flatroof and put the bigger Sporty money into the one year only ‘70 Estate Wagon, which held that slot until the clamshells came. (The fact that Vistas outsold Sporties by 3-2 in ‘68-‘69 may have swayed the decision, and Buick sold 16k Estates in ‘70 so it wasn’t a bad decision). Patrick Duane, sounds like time to build a glass roofed, 121” wb 455 powered ‘70 Sportwagon X! It shouldn’t be any harder than that GSX Camino you whipped up!!
Nope, I had thought about making a 2-door 70 Sportwagon, and bought the car to do it, but once we saw how nice it was, with a perfect bottom, decided against it. The car was a Southern car and we did not know that. I ended up giving it to Tim's brother Ritchie. I still feel the need to do something else, but don't know what yet. I have a few ideas rolling around in my head and some are pretty radical........... we will see. Duane
