This thread is waaaayyy cool!

I have just listed my meteor on ebay last night as it unfortunatly has to go due to my new living arrangements.... I just cant afford to leave it in storage whilst I'm off for a few years interstate. Sure sux the bags but at least it will be getting used (hopefully)

 

Here's my daily driver; a little too new for most Hambers but still pretty cool.

1974 AMC Hornet Sportabout showing the factory aluminum slots. A AMC 360 will be going into this hopefully soon.

It has a repaint of the original Ivory Green color. Lowered up front.





My other long roof and for sale is a 1974 Ford Econoline windowless panel van. This van was used in the filming of the movies Love Ranch, starring Joe Pesci and Helen Mirren; the story of the Mustang Ranch bordello to be released in 2009 (we also provided the 1974 Lincoln Continental Mark IV that Joe drives though out the movie) and A Lonely Place to Die which just wrapped filming here in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was also used in a College of Santa Fe student horror flick that supposedly the Sci-Fi channel is interested.

 

Station wagons rule. I have never been without one. Can't imagine I ever will.

 

The more I see, the more I like very cool Skatefink

 

Greatest thread ever.

Here's a neat one.

 

I just bought this one to add to the collection.

 

Longroof supersized!
Was a 53 Pontiac ambulance/hearse? Converted to a housecar.

 

Dad's Nomad. It's a shame... SOMEDAY, I will be "allowed" to restore it for him, until then, I have to watch it rot...


Not HAMB friendly but still cool... My project suburban... Before:


What it will look like done...



I also have a 93 Caprice wagon that is my daily...


Started a forum for GM Longroofs of all ages, nobody on there yet with an old wagon but hopefully someday that section will take off... Link in sig.

 

My 64 Nova Wagon. This pis is from a few years ago when I boight it. Was all original, I added the wheels. Going to be a real low budget build. Car is currently apart, body is 75% done.

 

lets bring this one back to the top.

 

.....I'll help the cause......here's our own*****gin pulling the wheels while on the Power Tour in his longroof.

 

man this is one lonnnnng thread! but i love it . heres my war wagon

 

Recently picked up this '64 Tempest wagon:

One owner, 326/auto, and runs great. Needs work on the quarter panels, and the front sheetmetal and grilles were beat. Old guy passed recently, and a guy I know bought it to flip, and knew I've been wanting a 4 or 5 wagon for years now.

Right away we dropped it a little in front, and threw on some rally wheels, wider tires, dual exhaust, rear brakes, and changed all the fluids.

Over the last 2 weekends, we swapped out all the front sheetmetal and grilles. While at it I detailed the engine compartment a little. Ended up painting the engine black to avoid an overspray nightmare when trying to go with the correct blue. Also added an internally regulated alternator, HEI dist, and M/T valve covers.

A rear bumper is on order from the Bumper Boyz, and in process of restoring the black CA. plates.

Next up is adding the P/S system I took off my convertible, single piston disc brakes I have stashed back, and installing the Airlift rear bags and compressor I have for it as well.

Helped to have a lot of parts for it before I even got it.

Trying to get it presentable looking for a spare car/driver type thing for the time being.

 

Pic of the "good side" when I first got it:

 

Cool slots man. I don't remember seeing the 4 lug wth 6 slots like that. Seen los of the 4 lug Cragars with 4 spokes though..
