WA Lee 1969 Chevelle Wagon

Not planning on selling . The motor was not in his car just in the garage. I will check with the guy I got it from as he is the one who dealt directly. I did get a bunch of stuff from him at the same time I'll see what I have. I have a 65 wagon and a 2 door good luck with your project. ---Trevor

Tom...Wow, that's an early shot of the car...I'm gonna guess about 1974 or '75?
Not sure of the place though...can you help?

Think Willy had the car painted twice after that...the next job had the familiar
"WA Lee and Wife" lettering on the car...and then the last had the infamous
upside-down lettering on the car...

How'd I do guys?

Englishtown..Probably 76-77

Alan Signs did the upside down lettering over the next paint job after the one shown here.
Later you will see the lettering blocked out in the Sportsnat's video. Not a repaint per se.

What is really nice about a Chevelle wagon is the fact that the front/rear weight split is definitely an advantage. Easy car to drive too which will make it all the more fun.

I am not familiar with this particular car, is it a big block?

No.. No big blocks in 69 Chevelle wagons...350/255 or 350/250 most of the time, with Powerglide

Is this Bob Bender`s wagon?

Mike A114 P/SA

Leaving out a few .Ray LITTY sold it to a young guy in So. Windsor, Ct., who sold it to Vogel who then sold it to Frank The Wagon Master Tantillo (1989 Summernat's N/SA class winner) Frank sold it to Stinson , who then passed it on to Bob Bender.

Probably the most deadly and easy car to drive I've ever had is my 68 Chevelle wagon. It practically drives itself, and has been quite consistent. Nice to see a few of them still around.
