Does a 9 passenger Chevy wagon get respect?

New to the forum...lots of action and great, vibrant conversation on this site...but before I venture forward, will our 60's look '56 wagon be accepted by y'all?

 

Nope, sorry to dissapoint ya....



Maybe a better intro would though...

 

OK...the car is a 3 year project, all but paint and final engine build in my garage, it's a 383, internally balanced Callies crank, Dart heads, blah blah...9" Ford 3.23 rear, TH350, 4 wheel disks, NO BILLET OR CHROME IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT...runs in 13's at 105.

Last redo before this was '61 Vette, previously: 69 camaro, 65 SS convertible, and many 55-57 Chevys, a 55 Ford convertible, a 53 Mercury sport coupe....

Only the vette was a restoration, all the others were street machines built out of junkyards and spare parts...

If I can do it myself I will; if I can't I'll find somebody who can and will teach me...

Drive my cars daily.

Anything else you'd like to know?...just ask.

 

Dude, I just sold my 9 pass wagon to a guy here on the board. Welcome.

 

Do you have a crybaby doll?

 

That's all that really matters.

WELCOME!

Now put some Dodge Lancer flipper hub caps on it to hide those Mullet wheels...

 

Are you putting yourself up for adoption?

 

Sorry I'm a bit old for that, well unless you're rich and gonna die soon

But I figured you had all those musclecars and tri-fives you must have one...

 

I like the wagon...if you must have a crybaby doll it belongs under the front wheel...

nice wagon!! But the next time you go to the track try to keep your foot in it all the way to the end...13's ? (stroker with good heads? , even with the highway gears I would be disappointed)

I like it !! Do you have extra tires in the back of it ?

 

I like your grocery getter. Welcome to the HAMB.

Only if you are a mom who's kids play soccer. ******* { Soccer~Mom } ******************* ************ Welcome to the H.A.M.B.

 

i was going to do that at the first show i took my car to, but i didn't have enough time to make a doll. it ended up that a guy in the club that was hosting the show gave out a trophy trophy to the coolest car built by a young guy in memory of his son whose car fell off the jackstands and killed him. well, i ended up getting the award, and i was REALLY glad i hadn't had time to make a doll....it would have been distasteful to say the least

 

How you figure 9 pass?

Thats FOUR American men and a keg sized car.

Not a Cambodian family

 

HAHAHAHA you'll fit in.

BTW, 13's are VERY respectable. Some of you guys oughta try and push a 4,000 lb street car that fast.

 

easy mid-12's with deeper gears...
nice car, not "traditional" though.....

 

My dailey driver 9 seater runs mid 30's. Yours is faster.

 

or take out 8 passengers!

IIRC there's a certain 38 coupe here that has a VERY healthy motor, that only ran 13's or so at the drags....just a little perspective for ya.

13's in that wagon is haulin.

 

As you've probably got tons of pictures and timeslips of your 4X4 dually going mid tens with a stock converter and 3.08 gears we'll expect you to be posting them. Of course I'll forgive you if you can only find the ones for mid 11's with the shop rag that was left in the carb throat. I double dog dare ya to post the pics/slips

heh...that all depends on which definition of "traditional" you use....

by my definition, almost none of the cars on the hamb (including mine) are traditional.

 

Welcome to the HAMB, I am only abour 60 miles from VAB in NC. Where is that track? I take it that it is a 1/4 track and not a 1/8 mile track? I really dig your long roof.

Q: Does a 9 passenger Chevy wagon get respect?

A: Only if the passengers are exotic dancers, they put out, and you are on your way to my house to drop them off.

Actually, anyone who frequently runs their shit at the strip pretty much gets my respect regardless of what they're running.

Welcome to the HAMB.

 

accepted? you bet. i can see me driving that car. a lot.

however, i've owned vehicles from every decade from the 20's to present, except the 50's. just never got around to buying one. if i did, yours (or one like it) would be something i would be interested in possessing.

and, oh yeah, you're not the only hamber with a '56 chevy wagon.

 

Wagons are for squares!

Oh, wait, I have a '57 Ford Ranch Wagon and a '57 Chevy Sedan Delivery.

Never mind.

 

any wagon guy....is a good guy.....welcome man

 

Fight's on!

 

Only if has a Mons Venus on the window

Long roofs are cool - Doesn't matter what year or how fast, your's is fast BTW

 

Looks good to me.......of course Im partial to tri-fives.

 

No.


Just kiddin', nice wagon, need the surfboards stickin' out the back though! Hell I don't even surf, WTF am I talkin' about.
