Man do I ever get angry at Hillar when I look at that car before and after. He never even drove the thing, just raped the 428 and THM 400 the let it sit. I have learned a huge lesson from him. Hoarding stuff is selfish and self centred.
If you can't use it get rid of it to someone who will people!

Thats why I want to sell it just cant find the time and I dont want it to rot away to nice and rare of a car for that, I love it just wish I had more time for projects.

That wagon is a Florida car, it is super sold, the paint and body looks like crap now because Hillar never covered it. I lovt the car too but as TINY says it is far to rare to let rot away.
Someone has to step up. Can you imagine te scene at cruise night when you pull in and the 428 is showing on that grille. Instant scrum.
What happened to the engine and trans? ( I had no idea the powertrain was removed - I thought Hillar was using the car)

Hillar never drove any of his cars. Everyone of them had an something wrong with it, not major but enough that he parked them. I think the latest registration sticker I ever saw was 1999 . Mind you that din't stop me from getting a hold of the GTO , no brakes and all and taking it out for a rip, I'd just let the clutch out to stop it...LOL.
I have never been able to find out where the 428 went, heard rumours but never knew. Hillar guarded that like it was a national secret.
I did hear that the car Clint bought got the 454 from the red wagon but Clint said the engine number matched up, of course Hillar had a killer stamping set too

Jonathan, I thought of you when I saw the Catalina. Cool car. I'm not sure if Jeff has the taillights and headlight bezels though. The seats need work but the rest is good as it is. Now that I'm 3 minutes drive to work I thought the Cat would be a good summer driver for me but I just dont have the time or space..
I can send headlight bezels and tail lights to whoever gets the 67 Cat. Just let me know where to send them.

Remember, "The Government" only has money confiscated from us.
The Red Wagon 454 is probably still at Dave's in London. I 'm Sure the 428 is still sitting at some shop in the GTA.He never told me he had pulled it. Who helped him?and Where?? AnyBody locate the '72 Yet?

His sister went Koo Koo plus I don't care anymore. Time to move on and get past all of his BS people .

I must have missed something somewhere
The sister threw out all Hillars books and manuals and instead of getting help from those who cared... She acted like a mad woman!1 some of Hillars cars are still missing (at least information on them)
Come on guys some one must want this car. At least take a look at what I have like I said im willing to throw a few extras in to make it worth your while I even have a 5.3L LS motor I will throw in to sweeten the deal. I really what to get a car this summer.
I always hated it at signing time when a father would bring me two players, one I wanted the other couldn't skate accross the road. I always took a pass.
I think you should split up the deal Tiny, sounds like Rarechev will take the wagon off your hands .
