Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
Since we really like unearthing the <span style="font-style: italic">real oddities</span>, (like the 4-door '66 Hemi Coronet last year!) does anyone know of any <span style="font-style: italic">real</span> 409 Wagons? I am sure they made at least a few...
If so, please let me know; [email protected] Bashton MCACN Managing Member |

That V4 is pretty neat, any idea what the ignition plan was? There's a few factory 409 Wagons out there, here's a link to a cool 4-Spd up here in Canada... http://www.bruneauperformance.ca/my1...safari409.html [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete

</div></div> Last one I saw was a red 65 09 wagon about 40 years ago. It was at a local bone yard. Likely been recycled into Toyotas several times over by now.

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
Does anybody know where Frank Spittle's 1964 409/425hp 4 speed wagon ended up? I would love to see that one up close and personal.

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
There was a long thread over on Chevy Talk about a 62 409/409 wagon sitting in the woods. Used as a tow car back in the day for the 63 Max Wedge Plymouth that was also parked in the woods.

Its still in process (lotsa work and donor metal) but that would be a helluva car to see as well

As incredible as that 409/409 wagon was, the other car that was sitting next to it in those woods was pretty spectacular also.
