Are you planning on driving it just for the 7 good months we have here for driving or all year long?I think a cool wagon would be nice-don't make it too nice though-I have some bias ply snow tires if need be-lol!!

I am really considering this, I want to find someone’s Grandmas 1969 Cutlass S and drive it all year.

I know quite a bit about how they work now and have lots of spare parts.

I am thinking I can service an old car myself and save on repairs as well.

My ideal candidate would be a 6cyl 3 on the tree.

I have a feeling this must be possible as people used to drive these cars all the time..... I don’t think the risk is really high either.... if I don’t like it I can sell it.

Funny you mention a wagon. My thoughts too. Was looking '57 Chevy. But also looked at Chevy II's wagons. Missed out on a nice '67 last year though...

Looking truck-ish for the bed and IF I need to tow something like a single open car trailer. I did daily drive my '31 Chev PU and enjoyed it. That's why maybe look for the "right" SS454 truck...
