A guy a work has a 1969 pontiac wagon that I might be able to get. Is this a good car to run? I've only really run square backs. Any feed back would be appreciated.

Would it do ok in a no weld derby, or would I have to weld alot to have a chance?

Do yourself a favor and pass on that one. By the time you make motor mounts, throttle linkage, get the front drum brakes working, ect, it's still junk. I know that it looks neat but a 77 and newer GM will do much better in a no weld without all the work. I ran a '69 Kingswood and even welded it was probably the worst derby car I ever had. Absolutely NO front end and 3 short shots to the back and it was on the ground (JUNK)
