One more 1 of 1, A friend purchased a 1969 Impala SS 427 Wagon, The car had every option available including the 8 track and all of the buttons. It had a 427 390HP and a 4 speed to boot. I have never seen another like it.

Mark,

-------Not doubting what you say at all (well maybe a little), but could it just have been an Impala wagon with a 427/390 and 4yanker. Same car, and still very cool, just without the SS part. This would make a whole bunch more sense, even though I know some strange stuff has gotten out of GM. Maybe some SS emblems were attached at some time?...........Bill S

In the January 2000 issue of Muscle Car Review, there was a story about a COPO '69 Kingswood Estate wagon with an L-72 and all the options, including a luggage rack, but no air conditioning. Ran mid 12's with slicks.
I saw this car at Floyd Garrett's museum in 2002. It has all of the documentation. As they say, truth is stranger than fiction.

-----That car I believe is a real, ordered car. My doubt stems from the SS part of the other 69 wagon mentioned...........Bill S

That '69 Kingswood Estate wagon is a real regular option wagon ordered here in Rochester, NY at I believe Taylor Chevrolet. It's a white wagon. You couldn't have A/C with an L-72.

That is possible, He was the second owner when he brought the car/wagon in 1975. It had the SS emblems on the fenders and grill, it also had the SS steering wheel shroud. White with a black gut,390 posi, rally wheels, bucket seats, console, fat sway bars front and rear. What a neat wagon to cruise down the shore in.

My buddy Jim has a pretty cool wagon that has got to be somewhat unique in it's own right. It's a '62 Falcon 2 door wagon, straight 6 with a factory 4 speed on the floor. The trans is something called a "Dagenham" which was supposedly only available in the Futura Sport Coupe. I guess the trans was manufactured in Dagenham England, so that's how it get's it's name. It's got a reverse lock out shifter just like an early Mustang, and some people have speculated that the car may have been a sort of guinea pig for Ford to test out the combo for the upcoming Mustang platform. I think that may be a bit of a stretch, but it's a cool and certainly unique car for sure. Looks like all it needs is a vintage wooden longboard hangin' out of the back.
