Makes the unrestored '65 396ci wagon that sold here 6ish months ago seems like a BARGAN!

Wow, that is just the coolest. No comparison to a 396/325 wagon IMO. Reminds me of that '62 409/409hp BelAir wagon that was found recently.

Re: 66 Bel Air wagon 427/450hp 4 speed YOWZA!
That's gotta be the 66 wagon that belonged to Dick Fox. He used to race it as a pure stock at Osceola Dragway way back when. He only ran it hard enough to just barely win.
 Coulda, woulda, shoulda. That car was for sale here asking $6000 back in the mid 70's before he moved to Arizona, I believe. If you look at the paperwork, you'll see it was sold new in Niles, Michigan, about 10 miles north of South Bend.

Re: 66 Bel Air wagon 427/450hp 4 speed YOWZA!
You're right about that. The seller missed blurring out the name Richard Fox from the picture of protecto plate. Incredible car..I wonder why it has shallow rims. All hi-perf cars or station wagons I have seen up to now have had the deep dish.

Re: 66 Bel Air wagon 427/450hp 4 speed YOWZA!
Fox owned a gas station back then, in fact the US23 address is where his station was. He used to have like H or L70 Prowler tires on it when he raced the car. Probably just swapped them out for something with better tread.

Re: 66 Bel Air wagon 427/450hp 4 speed YOWZA!
------Have to laugh as the air-cleaner top says 425 not 450. Even though there were 450hp Corvettes early in the 66 model year I never heard of a 450hp full size 66 Chev. Paperwork even says 425!!!
------Is that the same Dick Fox that used to be at alot of the Illinois swapmeets with die-cast models???.........Bill S

paperwork also lists 425 hp so somebody just screwed up the description.
