1966 Buick Sport Wagon

[tom406]

I looked at a cool one-family owned ‘66 Buick 2 seat Custom Sport Wagon this week. Sapphire Blue with blue interior (Custom Sport Wagon came with deluxe steering wheel and nicer door panels and seat upholstery). These came in 3 seat and 2 seat configurations. I have to admit that I didn’t realize that Vista Cruisers and Sport Wagons of this era were quite a bit longer than standard wagons and other A bodies, with 5” of additional wheelbase and 4” longer rear doors. The raised roof and extended wheelbase allowed a unique forward facing rear seat over the axle. Cool old car with no rust since it lived in arid Yakima most of its life. Nicely optioned with the “Wildcat 375” 340 4bbl V8 and Switch Pitch Super Turbine 300. Power steering, brakes and front seat. Car is going to be for sale for $8500, would be nice stock or lowered a bit.
