Al,

I think Chuck Koppien's wagon was a SS/LA (although Ithink he later ran it in SS/MA as a 3-seat '65 which they never made), Ron Roddel's was a SS/MA ('64 250/250), and mine was a SS/NA (283). All of them started life in my little garage.

I still love wagons, but the Oldsmobiles are SOOO much easier to work on, especially in teardown. Does anyone have a good G-body Olds Wagon cheap?

Jerry, you're absolutely correct about that and I should have known, all things considered. I got my 'L-M-N's' all twisted.

But(t) better our words twisted than our turds whisted, right? (grin)

Hope all is well with you and yours...see you at TVD this season. -Al

Jerry had a 1972 Lemans wagon and it was yellow. It was also a SS/KA. Norm

The Pontiac wagon in #61 above I believe is the wagon that Jerry Stealy had. In the above picture it was owned/driven by Jerry Huiser.

I thought that might be it. Thanks Norm & Jerry T.

That Son of Kong Challenger looks familiar to me. Any history on that car?
