This car was very well kept. Shame on someone!

Please ignore the photo bomber in the background. Lol. That's my brother.

Thanks. Yep 1960 cross country super wagon. We are gonna leave the body alone but it's getting a full restomod setup. Using a c6 front cradle and the IRS out of the Camaro or the G8. LSX something with M6.
Nice, we had a '59 Rebel wagon when I was a kid. 260 V8/auto. Stock with a Holley 4 bbl, and push-button shifting. Oh, yeah, and push-button start, too!

It got totaled when some guy in a Buick Electra ran a stop light. Dad t-boned the guy. My Dad walked away from the wreck of that comparatively little car, the guy in the Buick went to the hospital. I really miss that car, it was cool in it's own right.

Just a guy I am trading some parts with. HE owns a tow company in AUS and does wreck out a few cars a year, mostly Holdens. He is making a left hand drive caprice in AUS for film work. HE actually needs a G8 dash and all the other stuff to make it Left hand drive. but is keeping his center console G8 style.

Were you planning on parting out the entire G8? Minus what you need or course.

His forwarder works out of Los Angeles so he has been trying to find something close to LA.

His Name is Damian Westwick on Facebook if you are on there.

This is the Camaro firewall where the booster and clutch master pass through. It appears to be identical to the caprice. The only thing I see different is the position of the wiper motor, but I think I can work around it. I'm gonna make a nice template and drill some holes!

following this!! its only a matter of time before my auto gives up the ghost. I think a Tr6060 swap would end up being cheaper than a bult 6l80 or 90
