: Take a look at my new 67 wagon

I've been looking for a while and finally found a 67 wagon in my price range. Born at Fremont and resided in Northen California all it's life. It's mostly original paint 92K miles. 283 turbo 350 nom. It's had some paint work on the drivers door and fender and the front seat cover changed, that's all I can find. You'll notice the drivers quarter panel issue. After that happened the original owner never drove it again. It came with the black plates, the rear bumper repaired and replated, every registration from new and the original sales order. Power steering, A/C, Power windows, AM-FM Multiplex. Everything works except the A/C. I want to say thanks to my fellow TC members that alerted me whenever they saw a wagon for sale. Anybody have any turqoise interior parts? I need a couple of things. Jeff

Thanks Bill, I may be tugging on your coat from time to time. I need to get up to speed on wagon parts. I'll need some weatherstrip and a couple of odds and ends. Is there a good wagon parts source out there? Jeff

Great find Jeff, looks like it is all there including the hard to find roof rack. Congrats, would love to have on also.

Definitely a jewel in the rough. When I say rough it doesn’t look rough, but it just needs a little TLC. Wow, California car with a/c, power windows, AM/FM with FM multiplex stereo. What a score! What an unusual color combo as well, Butternut Yellow with turquoise interior. The car is certainly a standout in a sea of Super Sports and typical color combos. I like it!

Andy, my budget was to stay under 10K. I accomplished that including shipping to Louisiana.

Killer start!

All my interior stuff is gold, so you probably wouldn't want it...(boy, that'd be interesting!)..

I know where to find most of the wagon stuff for '67s. If I can help you out, I will!

What's your vision for the final product?

Man, your wagon's a great score. I've had my '67 since '02. My wagon came form Glendale, Arizona and is totally rust free. It's mostly original with almost every option that was available in '67.
I'd like to share some pictures of it, but have no clue how to transfer the pictures. If anyone would care to post the pictures, I'll E-mail them to you. Tim

wow great find. I am trying to do a 67 Beaumont wagon and stay within a reasonable budget, but I can`t see it happening. Canadian car needs lots of rust repair.

Bill I appreciate the comments on my new wagon. I would love to be cleaning it up right now , but, I promised the wife a birthday weekend in your home town. Wish I had time to go car hunting, but first things first. Beach tomorrow and Flounders tomorrow night. Jeff

Thanks man! Just remember- Everything I did is bolt-on! The only thing welded on my car is the trans tunnel for the T56. But all the suspension stuff (even my new Watts link) is bolt-on. Not cheap, but super-effective, pretty easy to install, and readily available!

Hey- empty your mailbox! LOL!!

Guys, thanks for the comments. I plan on straightening out the quarter panel, making the A/C cool, finding some Torq-Thrust wheels and just driving the car for the forseeable future. I would love to clone a L-79.

I remember hearing of a real L-79 67 Malibu wagon. It was Butternut yellow with a 4-speed & factory 4.10 Posi.

I know a guy whom has a real L79 4 speed wagon. He lives quite a drive from me so I havent been able to make it up to see it yet though. Wagons will always be cool IMO.

Thanks Chader for posting the pictures of my wagon. When I first got the wagon, I intended to clone it into a L79. Then I decided to make it more "user friendly" and added a lot of the original options. About the only options I'd still like to add are a remote mirror, third note horn, and a trailer hitch.
I have most all the correct detail items for a L79. Some of them, I bought from Chevrolet when they were still available. That was a long time ago!

My wagon was originally the same color combo as Tim's! I kept that off-white color on the bottom of my two-tone job, and used factory gold paint on top to work with the gold interior. Tim's is SO loaded with options though! Mine was a stripper...

I really love this car with all the options. If anyone runs into a rear speaker setuo with or without the radio, please let me know.

Good looking hauler you picked up, Jeff! Optioned out like a Cadillac. 1967 is my favorite year. Nice to know there are still some out there.
I've got a 1965 Rambler Ambassador Cross Country wagon that I will eventually get around to working on. They are certainly attention-getters these days.
Love those factory wire hubcaps w/ spinners! They were banned by the safety Nazis the next year, never to return.
Killer Hubcaps!!

Thanks Dan, the hubcaps are going to be banned by me shortly. Ha! I like them alright, but they creak like anything. I'm looking for some old style mags to spruce up the wheel wells. You're right about our wagons not being seen much these days. Jeff

Nice find, Jeff.

The same color combo as mine. As others have stated Hinshaws has many wagon parts. PUI makes seat covers, door panels, headliner and cargo area covers.

This looks like mine before mods and resto. Good luck with it. If you decide to ditch the luggage rack, let me know.

Guy's I want to show you the changes I've made to my wagon. I really didn't want to lose the original paint aspect of the car but...I had the car painted. I went ahead and cloned a L79 car. Installed a real 67 Chevelle L79 engine I've had for many years and converted it to a bench seat 4 speed. The engine pad still has the original ID stamp. I also added a set of 15" x 7" TorqThrust D's, real gauges, a tilt column and a repro tach . Added a modern music system and I'm done for now.

Wow. Great wagon. I just got back from your area yesterday. Went to the Seafood Festival in Mandeville while we where there. They had some amazing cars. Maybe you can show up with the first wagon for the event next year. Congratulations.

By the way, just finishing up a rear quarter panel repair on a 72 which was hit in a similar place on the passenger side. Pretty challenging work but doable. Good luck with this one. Sounds like you got it at a great price and it looks like it's in really nice shape.

Yes Bruce, I had it at Chevellebration this year. I only wish I could've spent more time hanging around the car instead of hiding under the shade trees.

Does anyone have a spare interior tailgate access cover they would sell? The big panel that unscrews... not sure what else to call it.
