It’s long been the mission statement of Hooniverse to act as the online equivalent of standing around in the driveway, BSing about cars. As is often the case, things boil down to a showdown between two vehicles. Mustang Vs Camaro, Lancia Delta Integrale Vs WRX, Porsche 917 Vs Ford GT40. Rather than set things up with rigid rules or a laborious running theme, we’ve decide to use our nifty poll plugin to spur debate over whatever the hell we happen to find on a given day. In a completely unexpected move, the inagural Showdown is between two big-boned classic wagons… 
Ok, straight away, this 59 Chevy Sedan Delivery (aka panel-wagon)’s seller is running for Optimist Of The Year with a $9k buy-it-now. But you’ve gotta think potential when reading this ad. It’s got what appears to be a straight body and decent frame, with some metal work needed on the interior. Along with, you know, installing the rest of the interior. The seller’s offering the aborted project standard pile of parts (“it’s all there, you just need to put it together!”). It does have a killer 454 + muncie 4 speed drivetrain combo in a body that’s super rare. I think we can all agree, this would be a perfect first car for your teenage son. So, which will it be? Clean Ford with mystery engine or rat-powered winged windowless wonder? [poll id=”4″]
