Beautiful Two Tone Paint Job
Wow, what a completely meticulously restored auto. This beauty just placed 2nd in it's class at the 2014 Dallas Autorama. The work put into her is top grade, as every nut and bolt has been replaced on her.
Not only does she look good, but the way she drives and handles is amazing. The perfect show car , or a weekend driver, this is a great car.
Walking around the car, you will notice the flawless paint. The restorer found a color as close to original as possible.
She is running around on new tires with factory steel wheels. They have the original style hub cap and beauty ring.
As you can see by the original trim tag, The paint was Glacier Blue/Skyline blue, and the trim tag codes out to Blue/Beige for the interior. The ultra leather interior is amazing.
All the original side chrome has been polished and the front and rear bumpers are new.
Back when hood ornaments ment something, it was hard to beat the size and styling of this one. What might be out of place now and days, totally makes this gal shine just that little bit more.
The back seat of the wagon folds down giving you plenty of room to put all of your car show gear.
Or if you choose, can you imagine a better picnic wagon? or watching soccer games sitting on the tailgate?
There is a spare factory steel wheel but no spare tire.
The front and back seats are actually the originals.
There is an Ididit tilt steering column with the smaller reproduction steering wheel.
The after market a/c is an Old Air unit, and blows cold.
This Handyman wagon is truly one of the nicest we have ever seen.
The engine not only looks good under the hood, it runs very smooth. She starts great and is ready to run as soon as you turn the key. The engine was rebuilt 30 over, with a mild cam, but boy does she runs smooth. The Edelbrock carb was tuned perfect to her liking. This with the cruising gears that were installed, really makes this perfect vehicle to cut away from the cookie cutter SUV's on today's road.
You can see the above hinges and latches below look as though she just came off the factory assembly line. However the under hood paint and chrome far exceeds how she was when stock.
The excellent work finish was not just focused above. The undercarriage has been addressed as well. There was great attention to detail.
Every piece of black metal that could be, was powder coated.
We hope you have enjoyed our presentation of this incredible beautiful Handyman Wagon. Please stop by and see it in person.

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago. This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree. As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
General Motors is making a big move at its Hamtramck, MI, factory, announcing it will add a second shift and hire over 1,200 workers within the next several months. It's expected that by early 2016, the factory will employ over 2,800 workers to build the Chevrolet Volt, Impala, Malibu, Cadillac ELR, and by early next year, the new CT6. According to GM Hamtramck spokesperson Courtney Zemke, 40 of the 1,200 positions are for salaried employees, while the remainder will be hourly positions. As for where these employees will go, positions are being made available across the factory, so GM isn't focusing on any particular area for its new hires. It's a similar story behind the hiring surge itself. GM said in its press release that the "second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand," a position Zemke reiterated. It's a matter of demand across the plant's portfolio, rather than any one particular product seriously outstripping supply. Naturally, the United Auto Workers is happy with the move. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest said in the attached release. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." Hiring is going on now, with the second shift slated to get underway in early 2016. GM's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly to Add Second Shift and More Than 1,200 Jobs Plant will nearly double its workforce by early 2016 2015-10-22 DETROIT – General Motors is nearly doubling its workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly by adding a second shift and more than 1,200 hourly and salaried jobs. The addition of a second shift will increase the plant's workforce to approximately 2,800 people when hiring is completed. The second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand for the five cars produced at Detroit-Hamtramck. "This is the result of the award-winning vehicles Detroit-Hamtramck produces and the confidence GM has in our team to build world-class quality for our customers," said Plant Manager Gary West. Second shift hiring is underway, and the shift is scheduled to begin operations in early 2016. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," said UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." The 4.1 million-square-foot Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly opened in 1985. GM has invested $1 billion in the plant over the last six years, making it one of the company's most-agile manufacturing facilities in North America.
There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.
