1966 impala 4x4 wagon

It's been for sale several times. Maybe somebody up north might like it, but it does not make a lot of sense around here. But wagons don't make sense to alot of people.:banghead3:

Well....I live in snow country but I wouldn't be caught dead in that rig.

 

I've seen it. It's not too far from me maybe 8 miles. I wish someone would buy it and put it outta it's misery.:banghead3:

 

There are probably some here on the forum that like that sort of thing and will flame me. But....I do not have the words to convey how much I hate it when I see an old car treated this way. To me....it is a stupid waste of a good car. I can see no redeeming qualities in a car such as this.

 

SF, I agree with what you're saying with one caveat. I'd rather have this beast up and running in it's current abhorrent state, than have it sitting in a junkyard resting on its brake drums rusting away.

 

Well....that's kinda my point, snoot....jack the car up and run a stock chassis under it.

 

Looks like the typical Texas luxury wagon.........LOL

 

I agree Fox.

As for being flamed, it's only mid sixties here today and a bit breezy, so a mild flaming job my way would be considered just fine.

 

Those wheels are a bit too big for my taste, but it would still make a fun toy to romp around the West Texas desert in. 4X4 wagons can be cool when done right. Best of both worlds. Wild, crazy off-roading and .... well, its a wagon, too.

 

A little overkill on the tires, but at least they didn't hack into the body. I had looked at a mid-80's Caprice wagon on a 4x4 frame and I kinda liked it. It had 31's on it and only sat about 6" above normal. Kinda like a Suburban only shorter.
This wagon sits too high and wouldn't make a good DD. Love the bug catcher scoop, though!! Personally, I would have left it as it was, but personal taste is what hot rodding is all about.
