i have had this wagon for 9 years and just have no time to finish. Pains me to tell this story but here is the history.
The wagon had original 326 and was sent to Jerry Loan in VA to have it totally redone. Jerry ripped out the motor and put in a screaming 455 and rebuilt trans. Whole dash was redone with new gauges, suspension redone, etc. I spent about 7-8k with him on work. Then I got a GTO hood, his/her shifter console and front grill to make it look better. Stripped down body and primed it. Things were going well.
Life changed...wife..family...typical story.
Car was outside covered with one of those blowup complete covers. Then car moved to a body shop in NY...unknown to me it got move outside without cover so alot of damage. Very sad. Water got inside car so shifter is ruined, caarpet was soaked, etc. Hood was closed but seems motor got weathered.
So far have changed out new carb, starter, distributor, pugs, wires. Cannot get it to run...cranks all day but I assume timing is off. MSD ignition box, Skip White distributor, ..tons of quality parts. Just dont have more time to put into it with family and two businesses. Wagon is in inside storage nice but just costing too much month after month.
So I have roughly 15-20K+ into it..probably more if I add it up. Will sell for $5000 because it does need work and I will never finish it. I would say this is quite a deal for someone who can finish it up. Everything is there but needs all new inside, motor work, etc. due to it being outside.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
