Larry Maxwell ran one for years (Early 70s) in I/SA out here
in the West probably 8 to 10 year ago.

We had some great races when our Aspen Wagon had a 360 in I/SA!

He is the Pontiac Guru out here in Nevada.

I believe the wagon still is a bracket car out here.

I raced against that car at the Winter Nationals 75 or 76. It really twisted surprised the windshield didn't pop out.

Bobby Sold his Wagon Shortly after they got the Nova built. He sold it at the Super Chevy show in Indy.

I was talking with an old timer from Plainfield the other day and he filled me in on the wagon. Thanks for the update.
