found a few 61's today

Went to look at this wagon. A little ruffer than I'd like. You could probably drop a 19" TV through the floor board behind the p***enger seat. Ashame. Last tagged 69 with 60K on the clock. Most of the rust probably came from sitting. was bought just outside of town new too. More damage from sitting with pack rats and mice than anything else. I really want a wagon too. 2 other impalas by it, both 4drs one a post other a hard top

 

yeah, they hate to sit. poor things.

 

the 4th picture with gloves is the giant whole in the floor board

 

That wagon doesn't look THAT bad. Whats the price tag look like?

 

it was supposed to be cleaner. bother quaters rusty, spare tire well rusted thru If Im going to do all that Im going after this one, blown 6cyl

 

Those 61 wagons are bad ***!

 

Thats why they make repop floor pans man. Go for it.

 

could be worse....

 

I can't say that I've seen many 61 wagons. I'm sure there's a lot more rust that you can't see, but then again, I've seen people start with a lot worse.

 

With the wagon and the post car I see a complete wagon,, with a little work

 

If the price is right it could still be worth putting together. I've worked w/way worse...look at my 58 if you don't believe me.

 

In this part of the country, you'd be bragging about finding a '61 Chevy wagon with that much left of it!

 

In Detroit those are considered "no rust" cars :

 

haha...yup same here in MO! ****ers almost shiney!!!

 

Be prepared if you have to find a 61 tailgate they are a ***** to get i still need one for mine

 

Up here thats mint with a little rot. $5500.00 and it would sell.

 

that dash and steering wheel look beautiful id wana pull that!!!

 

the floors are cheap and they can be replaced in a day had to do it to my wagon

 

I had a 61 4 door kinda bellflower sorta car and loved driving it 61's have character very distinctive cars build one, im tired of everyone driving the "me too" cars

 

Best year! Ive always wanted a 61 2dr Biscayne.

 

looks like squirrel knows where a couple tailgates are......

 

Grab those steering wheels!

 

how much?

 

I think they want $500 for the 61 wagon. Not sure of the other cars. Was kind of odd they were all 61's and just by coincidence not looking for that year specifically

 

I've always had a soft spot for 61 Chevs. My grandmother bought a Wagon that same color new off the showroom floor here in town. Traded in her 54 210 two door. Mom had a 61 Impala 4 door that was one of the better cars she ever had and the first car she bought for herself (fresh divorce).

 

been up north and seen whats in yards up there...these guys down here really don't get it....they need to take a bus ride...

 

I myself have started with much, much worse. I'd buy it.

 

I'd say buy all three. take the parts you need to build 1 good car then part the rest and make 3 times your money back. with that money buy new pans and install. wave the "cool" wand at it a bit and viola. *****in 61 wagon.

 

One of my favorite stationwagons. Had one in my sights about 5 years ago and by the time I arrived at the sellers place with a pocket full of cash the new owner was driving it out of the driveway. To make matters worse it ws a rust free western car.

We could use the tailgate window and crank mechanism for the 61 wagon we have.
