        There were no wagon GTOs built, all are badge and trim specials. Im not a huge fan of wagons, but I suppose a 65 would be a good one to have, especially since I have so many 65 parts laying around now.

        I would be interested in a 4 door hardtop or coupe, mainly because I could turn it into a two door with some of the stuff I have around here.

              Thank you, Captain Obvious. Of course its not a real GTO wagon.

              There is one here almost identical here in LA. Its a gold '65, but with original, and very expensive, Hurst wheels. No vinyl top.

              That one looks nice. I like it.

                what would that need..
                a transmission. that is done all the time.

                I love those years of wagon. ..even Japanese made mini versions. little windshield flat roof...and a chassis that can do 1800 mph in the wind with its sharp edges. So scary.

                I have a funny story about the windshields. There are entire realms of years pushed into antique status because the modern inspection stickers were not meant for little windshields.(hinder vision)

                        Ok, if I could find a wagon in my price range (think dirt cheap) I could turn it into a two door post. That would be cool as hell I think. If someone wants to donate one, all I would need is another set of doors, or some fiberglass doors for my LeMans. To really do it right it would need to be lowered with a kick ass suspension and brakes under it, and of course 455 or stroked 400 power. I would definitely pimp a wagon built like that.

                          I agree with your idea, but, I would probably attempt to do an up to date 421 with RA or edelbrock heads...kind of like a 65 chevelle 300 2 dr wagon...

                            I like the station wagon GTO, too. You have a regular car? Make it "yours" by customizing it. That's what we do.

                            I like the blacked out tail light panel on my Chevelle. I don't care that it's supposed to signify a big block, to me black just looks better than body color.

                              Nothing wrong with a dressed-up sta-wag.

                              We all know they didn't come out as Goat/442/GS/SS/CJ/SCJ/R/T wagons....but nothing wrong with having a bit of fun with what was once a family-mobile.

                              Still waiting on someone with deep-enough pockets to slam one on the pavement, put some kinda mondo-turbo engine in one and go head-cuttin'.
