Hi All

I have a '58 wagon in great condition. Extensive work completed incl fully engineered V6 conversion by Castlemaine Rod Shop and Waddington's.

Car looks great in green and cream two tone and goes like an absolute rocket. Extensive rust repairs were done before a basic re-paint. Car is not showroom by any means but is mechanically perfect and looks cool. Very good reupholstered interior too. It's currently registered in Vic with an Engineers cert plus RWC. I have receipts for over $40,000.

She's a real head-turner. I get thumbs up from Grandmas, old boys, chicks and guys alike! Would like to sell due to a welcome (but unexpected) baby on the way!

Offers please? I know I'm not going to get near what I have spent but I won't give her away!

Can send pics to you if you leave your address.

Cheers

Thanks to all (Old Blu, Mark, FEVan etc) for your excellent comments. I am leaning toward the Castlemaine option of a V6 but will investigare rebuilt reds.

Will keep you all in the loop.

Excellent reply. Thanks. Do they go well? I know they're old, but does the new motor dramatically affect performance. I should think so...

My old girls beaut, but a real slug, and you've got to wring out the little grey to get anywhere.

G'day everyone

I am the owner of an FC Wagon in good original cond. I'm seriously considering employin an auto engineer to put a Commodore 3.8 V6 into her. Can anyone advise of the pitfalls (if there are any) etc?

Can the gearbox bolt straight in? Would prefer an auto. Will this work?

Does anyone know of a completed conversion like this?

Any suggestions as to where might be the best place to do the work?

What do you reckon the costs will be?

Would appreciate very much any comments.
