A Body WAGONS-Ho! A body Wagon Thread
I found this one in Jacksonville FL with 37K miles. It's a complete stripper, V100, no options except AC. That in turn required the 225 and tinted glass. That's it. Blue interior, radio delete, three-on-the-tree, rubber floor. Completely original, unrestored, paint upholstery etc. Drove it home to Colorado which was a great road trip.
I bored the engine .080 over, milled the head .100, ported it and added 340 double valve springs, Clifford cam. Super six cast iron manifolds with a 273 2bbl carb. The original air cleaner was mounted using a cut down 2bbl base plate and 2.5" exhaust through a big low restriction truck muffler to be quiet. Resulted in total stock appearance under the hood unless you could spot the fatter carb and header pipe.
I sold it to a Daimler-Chrysler exec who had it shipped back to NY from CO on an empty Mercedes new car transport. It was fun dropping it off at the Mercedes dealer as the poor lot boy had no idea how to drive it. I had to move it to the indoor storage spot for them. I wonder how they got it loaded!
