Virtual WF FL

So let's have a virtual WF. In the thread here post up a couple of pics of your wagon and a description like you were doing a placard for a car show.

Let's say 4-6 pics of your car from different angles highlighting any interesting mods or features.

I will post mine later as I need a few interior shots.

Whoo hoo, I like this idea.  I can never make it to the Florida Wagonfest, but I can bring ALL of my cars to this one!

1995 Caprice. Rust free Florida car with 210k. Complete suspension overhaul/drop. ABS Delete, complete brake overhaul. Interior overhaul with lots of junk yard/forum member sourced parts. New carpets, headliner. I have had the car for 3 years now and it was a massive pile of filth when I brought it home.

It is currently sitting under the car port with a thick film of dust and a flat tire while it awaits a tire plug and a bath. After that she will be getting a complete steering system rebuild (replacing everything with new parts) and hopefully a fresh engine in the near future and 3.42 gears.

After that she absolutely NEEDS a paint job

Looks like the virus has cancelled this virtual event as well. Things are for sure out of control, lol.

The virus will go away eventually. The wagons will stay.

That's quite a fleet Dave. Nice...

I posted a link to this thread on FB and everyone is being lazy and posting up their pics on there

Anyway, here are a few snaps of my red 95, currently with 72k on it.


reason I bought a wagon in the first place


Took me awhile to find out my ICM was done



Fresh washed

Thanks.  But the fleet exists  only in the virtual world.  In the present tense, I have only the 1996 Caprice Classic, the 1996 Fleetwood Brougham, and the 1993 Volvo 245 Classic.  Alas, the 1995 Viking Roadmaster, the White 1996 Roadmaster and my original "Fred Special" DGGM 1995 Caprice (below) were adopted into other homes.

Oh, involving FB was the mistake, lol. I do not miss that thing at all.

I washed it today.



Cleans up okay. Needs a bunch. Has a bunch. Etc.

I may be a bit late to the party, but wanted to join in the fun! I am in Detroit so I usually can't make it to FL....

Anyway, this is the 'Woodchuck'. 76k miles, Roadmaster limited interior, 96 SS cluster, console, engine bay brace, panther rear sway bar, ss rear brakes, ect,ect.

If I get bored over the quarintine it might get a t56...

There is hope. Detroit is but a mere 364 miles from Geneva (hom eof WagonFest NY), and the present pandemic might well be over by late July.

Sprocket - No pics, but I can keep a 9' board in there, it just hangs a little over the front passenger seat.

Garrett - That engine bay brace looks good, does it make a noticable improvement? Does it complicate other work under the hood?

DMG - NYWF might be doable this year, with some luck. Luck includes the stupid virus backing off a lot.

The brace does seem to keep the front end from drooping when I put it up on jackstands, but otherwise I don't feel any real difference. Maybe if you did a back to back drive you could tell. I actually prefer it on there during service, gives me something to brace myself against while leaning into the engine compartment. I am a small guy, sometimes I even crawl on top of it to access stuff at the back of the intake.

I didn't think it would make a huge difference, but I had to ask. I don't expect to drive hard enough to need it. Thanks for the reply.
