I remember reading a road test of a Olds 442 wagon. Thier biggest complaint was the vent windows hit the sport mirrors before the were open far enough to do much good. I think the car had AC anyway.

I wanted to build one too. In the late 70s I had an extra W-25 hood for a 71-72. A guy in town that had a repair shop/used car lot had a 71 vista cruiser. Blue and woodgrain,455 two barrell. Wouldn't sell it, it was a cheap car his girls could go out to the beach and haul thier stuff with. A couple of weeks later they crashed it. Frame rails were buckled and on the ground at the cowl. Didn't come accoss another one and sold the hood.

I do have a 1965 F-85 Wagon. I think 784 produced going by memory. No vista cruiser skylights. 330 2 barrell, turbine 300 with switch pitch, And posi. Maybe would make a stocker?
