    I've always loved the Vitesse, but I've never seen the Estate before. That is really neat looking.

    Race Wagons! A perfect forum for me!

    These are from last weekend at the all Olds powered Nationals at Summit Park in Norwalk, OH.

    The Custom Cruiser has run a new best time of 12.01 @ 109.6 MPH.
    A 60' at 1.62 seconds (0-60 in 3.4 seconds)

    I'd be going 10's w/the 307, just the 260 painted gold to confuse everyone. :biglaugh:

    Edit: Super busy right now, will update with some more photo's later. I have my wedding anniversary today, big 29! Thanks for the kudo's everyone!

    hey, hey, hey

    have watched many videos on Youtube, of drag racing station wagons. One where a guy was rally racing his Taurus wagon. Bunch of others.

    I love your car. A friend noticed you made it a phantom 2 dr wagon too, I guess to accommodate the altered wheel base. Is wheel base stock length?
    Looks like she hooks well and goes straight. I sooo want this car:cry:
