Not really sure but I think he is talking about ”fast Stocker wagons” and not fast against the index or Cars winning alot of rounds!

Yes, you are correct. My question was specifically about Stock Eliminator station wagons that were quick in terms of low(ish) ETs, regardless of index.

Work with us a little bit here.
Brand preference, size of wallet, etc.
You can run a 66 Fairlane SW, 427 /410 in C/SA
Max Wedge wagons run those classes too.
Sound good?

Bingo. Thank you, Mark. I gotta go look up that '66 Fairlane wagon 427/410.

Not willing to spend as much as it would take to set a record in any particular class, but it would be silly to buy or build something that wouldn't at least run under index.

I don't really have much brand preference. I like oddball cars. Heck, I'd be interested in an SS/VX car, if I thought they were capable of going rounds...

One of the previously mentioned Max Wedge wagons that runs in C/SA:

Note: I had a 77 Rotary pick up with a 13B. Awesome motor.

I don't really have much brand preference. I like oddball cars.

Take a look at the '63 Biscayne wagon with either the 409-400 (365) or the 425 (385). The 425 horse can run D and the 400 goes E at virtually the same weight. One of those with a well done 3 spd. auto would be fun. Denny Ford runs a '62 409/409 sedan.

And 409 parts are more plentiful and a bunch cheaper than the Max Wedge or big Ford stuff.

If you want something oddball, I've always wondered how my wagon would run with a stick. 77/79 Pacer wagon, 258 2 barrel. Has run 1.20 under with an automatic, cheap to build, cheap to run, reliable. 77 Hornet wagon would also work.
