This is my current project I bought almost 2 years ago. It had a blown engine and was sitting behind a Honda dealership. I new the service director and asked about it and he told me it was just sitting and they would probably make me a good deal on it. After months of me asking about it finally one Sunday he called and told me if I wanted it to come with a trailer Monday morning because they were scrapping some of the totals and junks and if I didn't come they would junk it because it was worth about $400 in scrap. Wrong thing to tell me because he said offer them something for it and since I knew they were willing to take scrap price for it, I gave them scrap price offer + $100 for the wheels.

Thanks. The rims are 15x7 front 15x10 rear with a 275/60 R 15 tire. They were on thier when I bought it so not sure of the back spacing. The big cars (B-bodies) are also a 5 on 5 lug pattern like the trucks.
MAN,i have a exCEllent 89 complete header panel(lights,grill,etc)that would set that wagon OFF!!!pm me,we'll converse :wink:
In November I am putting a 383/ 200 4r with a 2000 convertor in it. I have nothing in it right now. I bought it with a blown 305 for $500. I also have a 350 bored .020 with flat tops and vortec heads and a 280 cam I am putting together and just keep running into one problem after the other so I got the 383 that is ready to go in so that is probably the way I am going to go now. Inside the car is really nice with no rips or tears and a perfect dash. It should be a hi-way cruisin' tank by the first of the year!1badchevy said:

sweet man. the 383 is gonna be perfect. plenty of the torque you gonna need for that boat, and the 200r (if properly built) will make for a great highway cruiser. im preparing now to put a 350 in my caprice and ride it till it blow. then bore it to a 355 or 360. but that wagon gonna turn heads when finished. best of luck
