hi, my name is jon and im a car addict.lol .....i have around 60 or so right now, cant seem to stop buying bargains. mostly 71 to 76 impalas and caprices, i own 2 1972 kingswoods,one being an estate model.one is a 400 car and the other a factory 454. i run a salvage yard in wichita,kansas and the good stuff keeps finding its way to the yard. if anyone is in need of any parts,feel free to ask, i have connections all over the u.s. and if i dont have it, ill find someone who does. i grew up in a wagon family, a hornet sportabout, 2 matador wagons, a mercury woodie along with the hudsons my father collected. i guess i would be considered a hoarder, but at least they are getting saved from being crushed. . thanks for the welcome aboard.......jon
Oh, your in Kansas. That's why the Rev's collection of wagons hasn't tilted the earth to the west. You've provided the counterbalance all this time! I thought for sure the southern and northern hemispheres would flip flop and the earth would go spinning off in to space.
We need a 'Bite-Your-Lip' animation, because I was gonna chirp in on that yesterday, and left it for the Rev to come in, but I bit so hard that I drew blood!! Jon, if you go here, you'll get a sense of our Ultimate WAGN HO, the very revered Rev. http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1137 http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1211
Thanks for the warm welcome. Maybe this will be the year i get motivated enough to finish one of the two 1972 kingswoods i have. one needs a new engine, and the other has no engine. My dilemma is that i have a 400 equipped one that i want to put one of my 454`s into to match the other that originally came with a 454.I do have some fresh 400 smallblocks just sitting but prefer the look when i open the hood of a bigblock.I figure the purists would scream that its not right, but in my mind at least its being enjoyed and driven.The majority of cars i own i bought and just parked in my fenced lot and never moved. Kinda sardine style.lol . maybe ill let some go in spring......if anyone needs a driver sedan from 71 to 76 i have a bunch.........thanks...jon

Welcome, I'm a noob here ma'sef, and there ain't nothing more fun than to roam a salvage yard with a crescent wrench and a can of WD40!:banana:
