i like it how it is. get that thing running and just drive it. you never get what you put into these cars especially if its not really a popular car. you may restore that thing put 10k into it and only find out its worth 5

Memories fade. First look I swore that was a Chevy, but whatever it was .. indeed a Turd!
That series B-body was an rattletrap abomination Especially after the tight and crisp and I thought one of the best looking Chevvies ever.. 1964 Fullsize.

My dad bought a 66 Impala new and that was the last Chevy he bought {other than S10}
He traded it at 4 yo for a 1 year old Marquis Brougham, Then an Olds Delta 88, then from then on.. Buicks.

On the other hand, any car, esp a full size, that old is a piece of crap so roll some Rust-oleum on it, and drive the hell out of it.
Added:
Lol.. had the feeling something wasnt quite right. That's an A-Body, midsize.. same as Chevelle and Cutlass. look at that doghouse.. no wonder you could shove a big block in there easy as pie!

The memory's going, I guess..

I don't care what year, I've never liked ANY station wagon.

im a sucker for the wagons ...they are just somthing that you dont see very often becuse people say they dont like them but then you go an throw a big block and tub the rear wheels and clean her up...its funny how people have a sudden change of mind on how they look at them...like i said i love em they are something you can mod so many diffrent ways (i like the drag car look myself) or drop, chop em or just totaly resto them badboys to like they where back in the day ...its something u dont see alot and those kinda cars are what i love seeing for that very reason.
