Found a station wagon I actually would like to own.
 

One of the local body shop guys (the guy who is painting my car) rolled up to O'Reilly's in a 69 Buick Special. This thing was a hoss and still had the stock SBC with the four barrel. I saw the guy the same day blowing the doors off of cars on the highway like it was nothing. I mean the Special is huge but it had no problem hauling it's weight around and pushing it's speedo to the max (120) which is hard to believe. I didn't think it was possible for station wagons to come this bad *** in their stock form. :confused:

they even had big blocks for a while the buicks did decent with teh big engines, most lost them to smaller cars in th 70's

In 69 was the 400 a small block or a big block?

I like wagons. :D
I drove a '69 Vista Cruiser for a couple of years...fun car.
My brother has a '69 Buick Sport Wagon with a 455 in it.It originally came with a 400 which is considered a Big Block .

either, and only in chev's buicks it would have been I think a 402 and a big block (not real up on buick engines but I think they are similar to the olds ones)
