Very nice:biggrin:
A stock gray cutlass/442 console would probably match pretty good
I wish I had the $$$ to do this to my wagon, still need to finish my 64:frown:

Ian, was 83 the last year for the Regal wagon? Also were you going to make this into a drag car? I see the HVAC is removed.
 
Yes, I believe they stopped all G-body wagons in 83? correct me if i'm wrong. for the regals I think they only were made in 82 and 83.

My car's just going to be a nice cruiser; I can't see it running any faster than a 15.5....as for the A/C, that was already gone when I got the car, I wanted to try and keep the heat but....oh well.
 
You might be right, as I know the Malibu wagon was last made in 1983.

I kind of wouldn't mind finding a G body wagon and dropping in an LC2, with a/c to boot then tune it to run 11's. :cool:
 
Yeah,

I was planning on dropping a turbo motor in this, that's why I bought the car...but the deal fell through. Anyway, I bought the car, and had the 340 out of my 67 to drop into it. It still should be pretty cool.

The Regals were made in 82-83, back in I believe 78-80 they had the wagon, but it was a Century with the single headlights. I saw an 80 in the junkyard where I bought my Regal. I was going to buy that one too, then I looked at the other side. Rear quarter all smashed in. :frown:
