What's your budget?
What motors/trannies would you use?
You mentioned cruise nights. What else will it be used for?

Skip I just know Chevys not saying I not open to other models?? Buick's are cool, 67 Fairlane, I really like them (Keep movin Rob
) but either their all junk or way over priced.
Budget, for the whole deal is 12 to 15k?? That includes the car. Again I'm not doing a full over the top build, from what I've seen already I should be able to get into something in the 7 to 8k range then a few grand for some upgrades.
Motor and trans?? Again depending on if comes with any, I have a nice 396 that I can use. I also have a great connection for a modern drivetrain as well. A Nova with a 5.3 and over drive auto would make for a nice cruser?
As for use, not saying I won't hit an auto cross or something like Motorstate but it's not a track car.

That's kinda what I was thinking about with the 2 door wagon? I can get into very reasonable and it does run and drive, although not street worthy. You would think that the 2 door wagons would bring good money, but as has been stated before just because they didn't make a lot of them doesn't make worth more money. When you see them listed they alway put the build number to show how that they didn't make a lot. The one I found that's for sale, he has another one that's restored and he can't get 20k for it. And he has WAY more in it then that. That's why I think he's trying to sell this one as he's seen that they are cool but don't think you can MAKE money on them.
