This custom woodie wagon was built approximately 30 years ago by Milestones Rodding and features a Roadster Shop Stage III Superide frame along with a modified Ford cowl that has been fitted with two-door wood station wagon bodywork and an aftermarket steel hood, side panels, and fenders finished in metallic dark red. Power is from a 350ci Chevrolet V8 mated with a Turbo-Hydramatic three-speed automatic transmission and Ford 9” rear end. Additional equipment includes Wilwood front disc brakes, independent front suspension, burgundy leather Recaro bucket seats, a Vintage Air A/C system, electric windows, and a Pioneer CD stereo.
The 350ci Chevrolet V8 is equipped with a Weiand intake manifold, an Edelbrock 750-cfm carburetor, HEI ignition, headers, and a dual exhaust system with Turbo mufflers. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Turbo-Hydramatic three-speed automatic transmission fitted with a B&M torque converter and a Ford 9” rear end housing a differential with 3.70:1 gearing. The car is fitted with a Roadster Shop Stage III Superide frame and custom steel floor pan.
The Ford cowl received a 4” roof chop during the build and was fitted with custom two-door wagon bodywork constructed of maple and birch wood by Custom Contours of Penrose, Colorado. The car was painted a Chevrolet shade of Burnt Red Metallic and features a Rootlieb hood, a DF Metalworks grille shell, and aftermarket steel fenders and running boards that have been welded together. Additional equipment includes a red fabric roof, rear-hinged front doors, a windshield visor, tinted windows, and chrome side-view mirrors.
Budnik wheels measure 14” up front and 15” out back and are mounted with older Michelin tires. Braking is through Wilwood front calipers with 11″ rotors and Ford-spec rear drums. The car rides on independent front suspension with four-wheel coilovers and triangulated four-bar rear suspension. A steering box from a Chrysler K-car has been installed.
The cabin houses four Recaro bucket seats trimmed in burgundy leather. Dark red carpets line the floors, and amenities include power windows, a Vintage Air A/C system, Gennie shifter, and a Pioneer CD stereo wired to a disc changer and speakers housed in a rear-mounted custom wood enclosure. Rocker switches and other vehicle function controls are housed in the glovebox.
A leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel mounted to an Ididit column sits ahead of a Classic Instruments 120-mph speedometer surrounded by auxiliary displays.
The five-digit odometer shows approximately 7k miles.
