About a year ago I came across this 64 Bel Air wagon and i did not buy it .. I never forgot about it and I figured the car was long gone ... So a couple weeks back I figured what the heck ill hit the guy up and see if it was still for sale and it was! We made a deal and the wagon has a new home ... She was dirty after a good wash this is what I found I could not stand the 20" wheels so off to Craigslist they go Speaking of CL look what I found new in the box too! This is how she looks now Good news is the car runs great but the bad news is the suspension has hacked spring so next on the todo list is air ride Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
nice wagon.....grew up next door to an old 64 chev wagon like yours....only bad thing is it had a big.... "Texas Aggies" - sticker on the back window....
Another early '60's Chevy 'saved' from the big hoop syndrome! Nice choice of wheel/tire. Did you polish the paint? It has a soft shade of metallic.
This is why you don't lower a car by heating the springs! Don't be lazy pull the spring and cut it ! Thank god this didn't brake on the road. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Nice find for sure. Yah its amazing what we used to consider ok practice compared to what is known to us now. Keep up the good work!
Looking forward to updates as you progress along. In the mean time I need to free up money to work on my 62 Bel Air Wagon.....
Man, I am liking wagons lately, and yours looks great! Obviously it looks much better without the clown wheels too (I cant figure out why people think those wheels look good).
Fuckin sweet!!! Did you do the air ride from a kit or make your own brackets? Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
