[Mr70]

Welcome..
It was possible to get the LS-5/390HP engine in a Kingswood,Kingswood Estate,Brookwood or Townsman Station Wagon.
It was a readily available Regular Production Option.
No Special COPO ordering was needed by the dealership.
Nice Car!

My father worked at the St. Louis assembly plant and recalls several of these 1970 full-size 454-390HP wagons being built. He drove them from the end of the line out to the holding lot outside and said they really, REALLY ran quite well! In fact, my father was driving and racing in one of those LS-5 wagons against another LS-5 wagon when the other employee lost control and hit two other cars in the holding lot totaling out three new cars in the process. Why can't I find jobs like that?
