Lets face it the original owner had to have deep pockets, who else was ordering a Bonneville 421 wagon into Canada in 66?

It's got that ultra cool optional temp and oil gauge package too, even though it's not mentioned in the ad.

Saw this and was going to post it.
You've already captured my thoughts on it.

I just saw this advertised on another site and apparently the car is just outside of Saskatoon if anyone is interested.

And yes, I agree with Mobomac's comment regarding condition/value.

What a cool car.

I notice it has the 66 A/C dash pad on it. I've never seen that done before but I guess there's no reason why a guy couldn't do it.

I love these wagons. It is so hard to tell in the photos but the 66 that is for sale looks fairly solid. If the frame and bottom edges are not all rotted out, I would even say it is a great deal. I would love to own this one!

 ....then Brad you are just the guy you should be talking to......this would be a great project car, I suspect you

sent a msg to the seller. Looks like there is some rot on the left dog leg and wheel opening per his response. Right side looks ok. Price is not bad, but w/out seeing it in person, I don't think I could jump on it considering shipping to MN would be a killer.

It was sold at auction back in July. I think it was listed on this site. www.liveauctionworld.com/ Wilf's car a nice example of what it could be. Barry

 I have seen Wilf's amazing 66 a number of times. When near this car, you are spell bound.

I've also seen Wilf's car. It's got to be one of my all time favorites.
The car for sale would be a major project but it sure would be nice to see it get restored.

There's a 65 wagon in my favourite wrecking yard. Lots of stuff missing but it had power windows, power seat, a/c, power antenna for sure. Column and radio are gone but I am guessing maybe FM and tilt. Beautiful wagons.
