No1oldsfan this one is the start of a project that is six on my schedule the pictures are hot off the press of this barn find so here are the rough pictures. She mostly has surface rust on her and a dent or two. The only real issue is the floor pan, but I have some MIG skills and replacements metal . I have not seen many 64 wagons, and being a child of the '60s/70s, I wanted one not too far gone, and I think I have found it with all the outside trim.
Hey, Joe, thank you. I had a heck of a time with the decoder and did not get it right. I am used to 66 and 71 but I had issues with this one. Once again, thank you. Which template did you use? That was the real issue for me.

Joe, did you notice this one has its California closed PCV system mostly intact? Looks like the aircleaner housing may be different but the fresh air pipe is there.

I am more of a resto-mod kind of a guy. I love these cars but want them to be easy to drive and comfy. I expect to keep the 330 or build a small stroked 350 with my crank since it's cheaper and has more parts. I have two possible plans.
The first plan is to clean up some
1) Fix the floorboards
2) Could you clean up the seats and get them covered?
3) Mild clean up of the rest of the interior
4) Fix any mechanical issues.
5) Make sure it's running and driving as is
6) Then sell it.
a. This is probably a pipe dream. I like wagons 😊
The second plan is to clean it up how I want it
1) Remove and repair the suspension, new bushings, and body mounts (sway bars and suitable components).
2) For fuel injection, I can modify an Edelbrock intake to have injector bungs and go with a Holley terminator or a TB setup like Ace's system. I am just not sure how lazy I will get.
3) 4l60e I have gotten ok at swapping the bell housing relief to the driver's side
4) Buckets instead of the bench; redo the rest of the interior.
5) 10bolt 3:55 posi
6) Paint Pearl white roof, clean up the rest of the body keep it in the patina with Poppys patina products.
7) Drive it 😊
