Hey there, I recently was on a wagon search, had $$ in hand to buy a '70 Lemans wagon and when seeing it in person, backed out. After a few more months I decided to give up.

And now, I probably shouldn't ask because this may start me off on my Poncho wagon quest again but how long is this car? Step 1 - will it fit in my garage

The wagons just LOOK longer. When I had a '67 Tempest wagon and a '67 Lemans convertible in the same garage, I was amazed to see that my convertible was actually a little longer than the wagon. (Unless I opened the tailgate!)

That's a great looking '63 and the 4spd just puts it over the top. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed after picking that up.

Wish I could figure out how I could swing it without getting divorced - once was enough

You'd be fine with a 20' bay. Might be a little narrower than your GTO.

It's for the children!
