Long time lurker, first time poster. I've always loved B-body wagons and finally got to a position where I could pick one up. One turned into three pretty fast. I first found a 1991 RMW in the Cleveland area about two years ago with 130k miles on it and a spotless interior. The body was a little rusty, but that's to be expected in my area. After driving it around for a few months, I decided the 305 was not enough to properly motivate the car and started looking into a powertrain upgrade. I decided my easiest route was to buy an LT1 donor car and swap everything over, since my body/interior were in such good shape. I looked around and found a 1995 RMW with 75k miles on it that had been hit on the drivers side. I towed it home and started tearing it down to make a list of everything I needed to do the swap. As I was discussing the budget for the swap with my wife, she stumbled across an ad for a 1996 RMW with 85k miles in the Chicago area for less than the budget of my 1991 swap. I drove out to Chicago, the car was in decent shape. I charged the AC, pumped up the tires, and drove it all the way back to Ohio with zero issues. That car quickly became my daily and as of today, I just rolled 103K miles. I replaced the distributor, plugs, and wires at 100k and haven't had any other issues with it. The plan now is to keep the wrecked 95 as a parts car and sell the 91 once I've sorted out a few things with it.
First pic is my 1996, second is my 1991, third is the 1995 being towed home, fourth is my current driveway.

nice and welcome aboard. It's hard to just have one, lol. Bought my first in 2007 and soon it was 3....Only in 2021 did I get back down to just 1.

Three sounds good to me. I had to have the trifecta, Olds, Chevy, and Buick.

Nice. Wish I had seen this earlier. I just got back home from a 3 day trip to Cleveland. Would have rented one of these from you

Nice lineup. I think three was my high point. I've had five. Cannot remember if I owned two or three when I bought the fifth one. All mine were 94-96 Chevys due to the other years/makes not having enough legroom. Different dashboard made all the difference. Just have one left these days.
