The OTHER project - '81 Pontaic wagon

[Noah Zarq]

Wagons are cool! I had a '72 Torino wagon in high school. We'd load up 9 deep and go cruisin' in it, and it was perfect on dates! [ddd After that my old man gave me his '85 Country Squire, which I cut up to build my '79 LTD draggin' wagon. It was lowered a subtle 2", had no cat converters, and exhaled through Cyclone Turbo mufflers (remember those?). Painted it "handicap parking space blue" with Rustoleum and blacked out the chrome...and there was a lot of it! I drove that car till the wheels fell off, then put them back on and gave it to my son Josh! It was an amazing sleeper that put many a ricer in his place. Wish I still had pics of it, but don't. :-(

can't wait to see what you do with this one.

Update

The Pontiac wagon is still going, but now has a long list of repairs to be made.

Anyone else drive their rods long enough to have to make repairs??

Recent pic

I seem to remember running over the trim piece off the front bumper, and another time the bumperette that's now missing.

I guess when you hit something that wasn't in the road, it had to be your own parts!

I think it looks better with the lumber on the rack.

What kind of times can you run now?

I love you spanking the Mustang and I have driven mine enough to break parts. If you aren't breaking parts you need more power.

Being as my current daily is a '78 Malibu wagon, I dig it! They are great cars to drive...

Here's a link to a youtube video of it at Bristol in 2009.

The Mustang guy wasn't too pleased. Especially since he had a 2 tenths head start!
