Customs Wagon heads down under

My 64 wagon left Omaha today on a transport headed to California where it will be put on a boat and shipped to it's new owner in Austraila.
Farewell Mate.

 

...hey, good for you and the new owner; glad I saw your car at the Hunnert this year, it looks much better in person.

 

Gary,

Good deal for you and for the mate down there. He's going to love it, when he sees it in person.

HellRaiser

 

Congrats, Gary... prolly ****s to see it go, tho.

 

Whats on deck next???

 

Did the paint dry on this one before you sold it?

 

I hope there's enough room in July in the '40 for me and my bag.

 

congrats, Gary. Now for the Vette?

 

Yea I had to drive it about 6 blocks to meet the transport. Got a little trashed, but not nearly as bad as its gonna get on the open transport. Was a little hard to believe he didn't step-up to a enclosed trailer.

Thanks Dallas

Yup, it always hurts a bit, but I had a lot of fun with this car and it seen some good road trips. It was time to move on

Cmon, I had this car almost 5 years. Thats nearly a record for me

 

This is the project I just finished and this years ride. Gary

 

Always......... I thought you might be riding in another Olds though. Gary

 

I would trade the wagon for the 4o anyday. I sure liked that wagon too though,

Rusty

 

Hey Gary, love the 40 cant wait to see it this summer................hell I cant wait to see summer. Its good to see ya back in a HOT ROD!!!! Later RP

 

Congrats on the sale. Glad to see the wagon is in good company on the hauler!
Galaxie Police car and a Mopar that should have Keystones on it





Malcolm

 

itll never see snow like that again

 

that's right, it's 41 C here today, that's about 103 F , friggin HOT!!

 

The Galaxie was cool a Mayberry repro on it's way to Barrett Jackson.

 

Keep em' comin ! What state is it goin to ?

 

Someone must have seen the Barney Fife type car that brought around 100K at BJ and is dreaming.

 

Ulladulla

 

Wrong year, though!

 

No snow there plenty of heat though.

 

smart lookin longroof, did you fit sedan tail lamps to it? We had 2 '63 impala wagons . I always thought the '64 wagons had a square tail lamp each side




.

 

I work in Ulladulla & hav'nt seen hide nor hair of it yet ..the new owner must be keepin' it under wraps. I always have the trusty camera with me so if I see it I'll get a happy snap in it's new home..

Scotty.

 

Gonna miss that long roof. I love the pictures of the 40. where is the snow? I want to live out by Gary.

 

Those are Impala tailights, your right all models of 64 wagons had the single rectangular tailight on each side. When Jeff Meyers (Fink'd) did the paint work I had him mold them in.

It just left yesterday so I'm thinking it will be at least a month before it lands in Austraila. Seeing a picture of it there would be so cool.

The 40 pic's are before the **** storms hit. Things sure look different now

 

that was a great lookin wagon gary ! my last car went to australia , kinda ****s knowing you'll never see it again ! the 40 is looking sweet cant wait to see it at the des moines good guys 4th weekend ?

 

Kongrats on the sale Gary!! I was thinking that it would be tuff to watch your wagon
go. Looking at what you will be driving this spring, I bet that you will get over it. You
had one of the koolest wagons around, glad that I go to see it before it left the
states.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Loved your wagon.I checked it out more than a few times this year,but your 40 is oh so *****IN!!

 

Thanks, and I'm sure we will be back at Des Moines for the 4th. Great venue, Great show

Thanks Mick, it was a little unusual but I did really like that car and had a lot of fun with it. One of the most memorable times was making it to the "Starliner"show in whitchita last year. certainly looking foward to that again. Gary
