  • The One Car I Wish I Still Owned!!

     

     

    Wishful thinkin' on a hot,lazy Sunday afternoon.

    If there was one thing I could have back, in the exact same condition it was in, at the time I let it go, it would be this car!

    My 1957 Chevrolet Nomad Wagon.

    Bought it in the summer of 1970, while still in the Air Force(stationed in South Carolina), for the paltry amount of $500.00 dollars!

    Summer of '74

    The original 283 went out on me in '71 so I replaced it with a 375hp 396ci Rat motor from a '66 Chevelle.

    Crane Nitro F cam, Hooker headers, a 780 Holley double pumper, and a Muncie Rock Crusher 4speed rounded out the package!

    No problem melting those H78 bias plys off of those 7X15 Crager rims!!

    Got "VanFever" in the summer of '74 and let it go for $1150.00, I believe. More than doubled my money,huh?

    Conservative estimate now would be $30 to $40,000.

    Isn't hindsight Wonderful???lol
