    A local guy is selling a 65 Sportwagon, 9 pass, 300-4 brl, posi(ration unknown). Body sounds rough-rusty rear, one roof window cracked,front right corner damaged, black interior. Turns over but hasn't ran in many years. Doors and tailgate are sound. I know wagons are hot stuff in some areas.
    He wants $600.00---Is it worth that?

    i would say it worth it just for a a few of the parts. i bet you could get 300 bucks for that intake.

    I would buy it for $600 due to I need some parts for my wagon. It's hard to get rid of 64-65 A-body parts and cars overall currently. There is a very limited audience. Look at this site and see. If you don't buy it an want to pass on the info please pm me with it.

    Thanks,

    brian

    A friend of mine found it- He owns a salvage yard ( and the 70 GS 455 4 speed in my avatar) He will most likely pick it up and part it out. I'll be listing the parts and pics for him.

    I'll be watching for the listings!
     
  6. should be a 3.23 ratio rear and possibly a 3.55. if the good parts are still on it then 600.00 is a good deal

    I believe the most likely rear posi ratio would be 3.08:1. I have a '65 Sportwagon 300 4V posi, and that's what I have; also, that's what the shop manual indicates as the default standard.

    Would be interested in turn signal lenses if in good shape.

    Car is supposed to have the trailer tow package-Maybe deeper gears? Hollander says 65-66 Sportwagon and F85 Olds wagon only? What else might it fit? Should have it home Monday or Tuesday.
