Hi All'

I have finally got the Wagooon on the road there are still a few little things to get it completly finished......But I can do that while having some fun over summer.

It runs a 273 it is 40thou over with a mild cam Weiand duel plan 4bbl manifold with a 600 Holley Trans is a 904 with heavy duty clutches & bands fitted with a stage 2 shift kit & a 2000 RPM stall. The rear is 3:23 to 1 LSD I have installed a hurst ratchet shifter



Here are a few pics

Thanks.......................................................................................................................................................................................................
& nowdays I would agree with you that the steering wheel is on the wrong side. After driving the Barracuda around for the last 2 years & the way it steers & handles it is so much better than any right hand drive Australian Valiant.
 
Ozcuda You have my car !!!!!!!! :blob:
Exalent!! first time I have Ever seen your wagan. Dig it to death for sure!
Mybe you my see me in a wagan my self on day,

Real nice clean wagon, and even with paint. Are the rear quarter window gaskets new? If so where can I get some, and how much were they? The gaskets on my dart wagon are short on life.

That's sad you should never let them get away. I like them 2 doors we never had them here in Australia. I been watching out for a 65 2 door I'll get 1 some day. I think it would look cool when my wife & I roll up in her gold 65 Barracuda & me in a matching gold 65 2 door.

Thanks.......Yeah they are but.....I wouldn't recommend them to anybody. A company here made them for me. & it's a long story but lets just say they don't fit the best. They made them up from lenghths cut & glued the corners.

Once they were fitted I told them if this was a show car I would have brought them back. They have taken some photo's of them on the wagon so I hope they can get them right for the next customer.
 
While I'm not crazy about the wheels, the car itself is absolutely awesome! Cool Wagon!




I can picture a set of Torque Thrusts on there....:thumbup:
 
Thanks for the kind words guys.......& yep it is flat purple paint.......The 273 has enough power for now although nobody ever has enough but seeing as this is my daily driver I can't get to wild with it at the moment.
