    That's cool! Very neat you found her after all these years. You've got some work ahead of you. Gonna keep those snowflake wheels?

    That particular wheel isn't even there. I have to get a rear end in it fast as the property is up for sale. Anybody in Pinellas County, Florida know where I can get a rear end cheap? Doesn't matter what it is, as long as it bolts in and I can attach a couple wheels for towing....

    Thanks!

    Awesome find! A wagon with personal history, looks like she's in need of some TLC.

    Congratulations!!

    Dear scarymonster and Station Wagon Lovers,

    Congratulations!! :tiphat:

    Next to hanging to the car the whole time, that's about as hopeful a situation as you can get.

    Best of luck on the restoration!

    Cheers, Edouard :cheers:

    :Welcome:to the forum and good luck. Should be a Pull-Apart yard or some parts venders in your area to pick up an old GM rear end. At least one good enough to drag that wagon home.
    Webster and Sumptner County meets are this Sunday.

    Welcome! Make sure you start a thread in the restorations and projects area! We want to see it ALL! From the time the old girl arrives home until she is all done and looking better than new, or how ever else you decide to go with her! Sounds like you are just crazy enough to fit in around here, too. Have fun!
