that would be cool too, but an impala wagon would look like something would be under the hood...
another thought would be an SC'd LS7 family truckster :)

i think this one is the one that has the 5.3 LS based motor with an LS6 intake that was on the power tour

My neighbor has an impala clone wagon. It's still a work in progress, but it's a freakin' boat. He wanted to do the same as you BLK95TA, but he ended up just buying an ls2 gto and twin turbo'in it. lol.

oh i would never actually do this, unless i had more money than i knew what to do with, but i think it would be cool if i was made out of money
Local Malibu wagon here. 355ci with a tri-stage fogger deal (im a nitrous noob) and it goes 9's all day. Maybe I can find the picture of it standing on the bumper. Its on a 10.50 DR I think.

Wow. LS7 + Blower + Roadmaster?
That would be similar to a boosted dump truck...

Be a cool project, I wouldn't mind a late 70s Malibu wagon. If you put a mild enough drivetrain, you could actually daily drive it, be a pretty practical 4 door vehicle.

I know this thread has been dead for a while, but I hope as a NEWBIE i may be excused for only finding it recently.
At KNOPPS (the other place I "work") we had a customer that had purchased one, He was a real dick (since passed away) but the car was a cool concept. LT1 and all, it had alot of potential.
THis is the ONLY pic I have of it on the back of our wrecker...
