And I'll bet that a good scrounge could really "dime" that one together.

Billy,
Not sure how economical the Aspen wagon would be. In this area any kind of old station wagon brings good money if you can find one, I don't remember the last time I saw an Aspen wagon from this era around here.
I'm thoroughly enjoying this thread, keep em coming.

There's a couple of bracket Volare/Aspen wagons floating around North Carolina. One is a decked-out Super/Pro car, but the other is a good Stocker candidate driven by a local track champ... the Legend and I have been working on him for a couple of years now, but just haven't quite got the hook set!

One of the cars that got me interested in Stock Eliminator in the first place was Charlie DeHaven's O/SA Aspen Wagon (US13 Dragway home track). I think he mostly bracket raced it, but it sounded mean! I remember a Mopar Performance-backed Aspen Wagon in a Mopar magazine when I was a kid, and even then they talked about switching it to the 2bbl combo.
