Bobby Black from the Indianapolis area raced a '78 Malibu wagon for years with a stick. I did a pair of heads for him once upon a time. A very competitive car. I'm sure he is retired and the car is long gone now.

Bobby Black was a wonderful man and a fierce competitor with his stick shift wagon. His son Danny built a 78 or so Nova and ran it in stock Eliminator for many seasons. Perhaps he still has his dads wagon ??

Re: Scouring the NHRA classification guides for a particular
Came across an interesting one tonight:
The 1970 Tempest wagon with the "350hp" 400 is an 11.05 pound car in Stock, making it an F/G/H car. But I don't know the last time I ever saw a 1970 Tempest wagon...if ever... |

Back in the '70s Gary and Charlene Woods ran a 1971 Lemans wagon called Tons of Fun. They ran D1 races. I was introduced to it at Utica Rome Dragway.

I remember that wagon quite well. Lifted the left front about a foot every pass! Always thought it was 455 powered.
