I came across a deal too good to pass up (less than 3 miles from my home at that)

Picked up an '83 wagon, 305, auto(not OD), AC, stock am/fm, power antenna, completely stock. The only thing is the headliner is falling =/

Been parked inside for the last 10 years since the guys wife passed away.
original odometer reading is 62,9xx


I have now found the car for my LSx turbo swap......:rockwoot: can you say sleeper??

The Orange car will be listed as a complete or roller shortly

That is BAD ASS!!! I'd leave it all stock looking. Maybe even make the factory wheels fat and skinnies. Are they 14" or 15"?
 
I like both!

How much did you pick that up for, if you won't mind me asking?

Wish I could afford the orange roller.

I almost feel bad for it but the offer was made to me by the owner for the hefty sum of $xx00.00.... I didn't even try to offer any less

The orange car will be sold fairly reasonable. I just want to figure out what if any of the little parts I may need

Damn, I've wanted to do a project just like this for some time now. Clean 80's grandma car/wagon, 5.3 truck motor, LS6 cam, truck manifold turbo... perfect combo for a cheap(ish) sleeper! I'm jealous!
 
That is great!

Dare I say, swap in a n/a lsx and do a mild build so that it can look all original until the hood is popped.

thats figgen awesome!!! you have to put the nitrous bottles inside luggage on the rack. and have to have "honkey lips" spray painted on the side like the movie vacation!!!
 
Thanks for the compliments.

I think as off now I may only go N/A with a camme 6.0 but keep it injected and try to do a stock appearing install.
put an OD trans, decent rear, and some spray for the track
