1962 Lancer Wagon, Lancersaurus!

Amazing, I never knew this forum existed. I had a 61 Lancer back in 1966 that had the option. It was a 2 door sedan, same color combination as the one shown. As I understood it, the Hyper-pak was a dealer-installed "factory" option. They also had one of their marine cams in it. Mine came with 3 speed floor shift and a 3:91 rear end. I think it originally came from Georgia because of the tons of red clay packed around underneath. I scrapped and cleaned for days getting rid of that stuff. I'd run H-stock at the drags and blow off the 55/56 Chevy guys with "265's" which of course,were all really 283's or 327's with 2bbl carbs and the old oil filters on them. They'd howl, but never protest because they weren't legal and I was. After finally wearing it out, I swapped in a 340 from a wrecked Barracuda.

Although I've had many other collectible cars over the years, I can't remember any that I had so much fun with. It was the ultimate sleeper in both forms.

Sure glad you got it back. It should be a real fun ride when complete.
