The guy with the ratty white Ford van with the yellow doors? No that was a different guy all together.

Cool wagon. It is the Fox car, I viewed the car and the docs when the owner had it at the Scottsdale Kruse auction this past January. Car is legit with obvious signs of being an old drag car. Claimed original paint but my paint gauge didn't like some of it

The seller is the son of the fellow who bought it from Fox. Don't know what makes it a "1-owner" car? The Kruse folks had his head all screwed up telling him it was worth $250k to get the consignment. I was the high bidder at $70k. In fact, I think I may have been the only bidder - those of you who go to Kruse auctions know what I am talking about!

Regardless, very cool piece. IMHO, the 70k+10 points I bid was a pretty generous bid? 77k for a "multi-family" (2 door is a single, 4 door is a duplex, so a wagon has to be a multi-fam??)

I came to my senses after I remembered I just sold my 63 427T/425HP R Code Galaxie cop car with a 4 speed, in original paint, original exhaust, never touched car that was showroom for less money...supposedly it was one of 4 built.

Be interesting to see what the wagon does.

-----Thanks John. I pretty much figured it wasnt the other "Dick" as the paperwork showed this Fox living in northwest Indiana back then........Bill S

Over on Chevytalk.org a guy found a 1962 Wagon 409/409 4 speed. Needs total restoration but how many of these around. Wagons are cool.....

from the ad; "This 1966 Bel Air Wagon was sold to Len Cormier of Cormier Chevrolet back in 1981. The original owner personally brought the vehicle to the Dealership and sold it directly to Len. This vehicle has been in the dealer inventory ever since"


Could be still titled in name of original owner? Maybe that's the reason for the one owner claim.

$six digits is kinda high. JMHO
