You know we love sleepers, and here is another one that is just too good to pass up. This grocery getter wagon is a bad ass. Sure it’s got tires and wheels on it and it clearly sounds good, but with the trailer hitch out back and the unassuming color there aren’t many people that would think this thing runs low 11’s. We’re told it will run 10’s, which is just stupid awesome and we love it. After all it’s a sleeper and a wagon which makes it perfect in my book. I’m guessing it’s got a big block under the hood with some spray, which is exactly what I would be doing with it. Check out the video, you won’t be disappointed.
What is this beast ? A 70 caprice wagon?
’70 Chevelle (maybe a Malibu, maybe a Nomad) wagon…
[quote] Dan Crampton, a muscle car collector from Streator, Il. with hotshot racer Steve Quickel at the wheel of his ’70 Chevelle Wagon, embarrases the GTR with a [email protected], as the near $100k sportscar runs an [email protected]. Dan’s Chevelle Wagon has changed hands on multiple occasions between himself and street racer king Greg “Bubba” Taylor from Rockford, Il. Dan would like to give special thanks to Rodney,Keith and Libby “The Wagon Lady” Brockman for finding the rust free wagon in Huntington Beach California while vacationing about 18 years ago! As for the wagon it’s a 1970 Chevelle Wagon weighing in at a portly 4565 lbs. with a pump gas, 533 cubic inch short deck Chevrolet engine with untouched aluminum small port cylinder heads backed by a full manual column shifted turbo 400 transmission by b+c trans of Rockford and a Midwest 10 inch converter also of Rockford, Il. A gear vendors overdrive was installed and has worked flawlessly for years including a ’13 Hot Rod Drag Week trip of 3500 miles towing a trailer. The wagon also features a strange brute strength Dana rear end with a 456 ratio. No power adders have been added as of yet, but are on the list! Best time to date is a 10:93 at 121 mph with Steve behind the wheel.[/quote]
Don’t see Rodney Brockman et al name in print very often. Want to give him a shout out for all the great work he does with the Tri-5 Swap at Peotone every year !!
That is one sweet looking wagon! Those Torque Thrust D wheels look perfect for that car.
Was the guy in the GTR having lunch when the tree came down?
