An acquaintance of mine has an exceptionally nice '65 Chevelle wagon, four
door, immaculate condition - retored, of course - with a bit of custom work
and, as if that weren't enough, a four speed...$12,000 takes it. I've been
thinking about it myself but SWMBO would truely not be happy about another
Chevelle...I think she'd rather have another youngun'.

Subject: [Chevelle-List] '66 wagon project for sale (WI)


Today I was driving on US-14 west of Janesville (WI) and 
came across a '66 4-door wagon (was there a 2-door wagon 
in '66?) with a "For Sale" sign propped up behind the 
windshield.

It has the "V" emblems on the front fenders but no CID 
callout; would this be a 283 car (I didn't pop the 
hood)?  It has a column-shift automatic with the PG 
shift pattern but I can't be sure it really is a PG and 
not a TH350 or something else.  Also, aside 
from "Chevelle" on the tailgate the "V"s are the only 
emblems.  The taillights are vertical and divided into 3 
sections.

While the car has Rally wheels they don't look good 
enough to draw one's attention from the fact that every 
panel save for maybe the roof and hood needs work, 
mostly rust repair.  It looks like the rear quarters may 
have been bondo'd.  The interior is shot, unless duct 
tape was a factory option in '66.  =8^o  The right rear 
cargo bay window is apparently missing or broken, as yet 
more duct tape covers it completely.

At this point I walked away.  It's a serious project or 
destined to end up a drag, parts, or demo derby car.   
The seller's asking $3000 OBO; while I admit I'm not 
current on '66 values it seems like a high price for a 
vehicle apparently needing a complete resto.  But maybe 
the half-dozen tires in the cargo bay go with the car, 
making it a better deal.  ;^)  And I don't know what's 
under the hood; maybe the seller's related to John 
Lingenfelter and picked up something special to up the 
value.  Who knows.

If anybody wants to know more the phone number is 
608/755-1935.
