Woah! That would be the baddest factory wagon ever.

Wonder if it is still around somewhere?

According to my books that thing would ave weighed about 450lbs more than a Chevelle SS.

Neato!

Re: Local Heroes -L72 427 Station Wagon

he may have passed on by when we got old enough for racing chevys , his house has a big truck sized garage with a glass roll up door , like a gas station and had an abandoned 75 corvette sitting outside
his son lee is a real hardcore stocker racer
my boss had a 71 corvette 454 that lee built the q jet on , never bogged or coughed ever
we used to carpool that to work everyday

Could be a 'theme' for Chad to follow with His own '66 Wagon ;). Meanwhile I have an old Reedman '66 Biscayne 2 Door(Green with a Gold Vinyl gut...)Sedan with a 230/'Glide/10-Bolt. Power Steering,and a Heater,NO Radio. Somewhere along the line the Car picked up a pair of 'Cross-Flag' 396 Emblems on the front Fenders.......fools folks all the time,but only AFTER I open the Hood 'an they see 'old Ironsides' doing Motorvation' then they get all pissed ;D! ~J/W.

Chad weighed his wagon at Fontana. Right at @4000 lbs. It was 150 lbs more than Impala.

Did this wagon have a stick or auto trans?

My uncle worked there in the 60s/70s "in the front of the store". I think he was the guy who appraised your trade-in >

My folks' early rides were all sourced from Reedman

a 427 could haul 12000 pounds... who cares about 450 pounds.

the weight stuff belongs in 2 liters and less.. the rest can just make it work.
OE is pansy as like that.

I had 5.7 that worked better in 4000 pounds than the snappy gay twack of 2500

Re: Local Heroes -L72 427 Station Wagon

...and Goliath has a 17,000lb GVW with an L6. :o

I mention the weight because this is a drag car, a stock eliminator drag car that would have been on the heavier end of the weight scale for B/Stock.
