Well, you don't have very much money into it yet. If the wheels are in good shape you've got your money's worth though I understand what it's like to get something that's not exactly what you thought you were getting. I've been down that path -- in fact I drive one of those experiences.

My intention, had I been the high bidder instead of next to high bidder, would have been to get a donor car with a B230F or B23 -- presuming that the 76's body and chassis were good and the interior was restorable. Lots of them around and I think that the newer fuel injection etc would be worth the trouble of transferring all the wiring, computers, etc. I suppose an adventerous soul could even get a turbo donor car though they seem to be a little pricier.

I think the 76 wagon is a very stylish vehicle and I think you've got something with the potential to be a very satisfying/rewarding project. I understand about projects, too, by the way.

Good luck with it. I'd sure be interested to learn how it turns out/cleans up.
