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 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.

I'm another Ohio resident.  Delaware County.
