  • Celebrity Wagon, would I be stupid to buy one?

    There's a green wagon by the highway with grass grown up all around it. Now that I'm more or less finished with my Trooper, I'm tempted to pick up another project.

    I've been kind of wanting a 4dr car with a little pep, think a Celebrity Wagon would make a decent sleeper project? Maybe swap in a Gen III or IV 3x00?

    if you can get it cheap enough, and don't mind driving it, why not?

      Go for it!

      I would love to find a Cavalier Euro wagon in nice shape and put my 3500 in it.

        Maybe I'll check it out this weekend. Doesn't have a sale sign on it, but doesn't look like it's wanted either.

          I had a 3800 Celeb Wagon. Had the spoiler, full power, AC worked, it was a 93 Cruiser. If I didnt have too many cars at that time I would 5speed swapped, 3900, and put in a leather interior.

          Carry on my poople dream! lol

            Maybe I should hold out for a Eurosport. This one looks like it has the potential to be cheap though. I think I'll only offer on it if it's a '90 with the 3.1L.

              one of those 2.4L Quad Cam motors would be cool in there... or something bigger. im a wagon fan. the bigger the car, the more fun you can have in on or under it.

                Get it and do an LSx and f-body rear end swap to make it like that Volvette.

                  thats one freakin crazy wagon!! it would be a bitch to drift too, its no wonder he couldnt really do it, thats a decent amount of weight on the rear tires.

                        What's funny is the chick that says "That's just not right"... No, that's exactly how a fast car should sound, woman! That or more like this:
