WOW, That's I didn't think the M3 would go that fast!? And that Chevy Wagon is awesome. Is it a factory big block car? They're rare to see!

Sweet Man, I had a ride in an m3 years ago. It was some crazy a$$ car salesman out in Amish Pennsylvania on some of those windy/curvy country roads. Straight six I believe...
Neither did we. However it was certainly not a factory spec M3. At the time, I had driven multiple M3's, 911's, Vipers, and 2 Ferrari's, So I had a baseline to compare to. This M3 was beastly.
Please don't think I am some pretentious A-hole bragging about my cars. I Valet Parked Cars at the Irvine Spectrum, When I was younger. Let's just say that it's not a bad practice to check your odometer when dropping off for Valet.
This scene comes to mind

A good friend of mine worked there in the late 90s when it first opened, I know all about the valet's in Irvine.....
Good story Chevyrumble. Nice to see it stayed in the Family and has so much history. I seriously wish I had some of the cars I had when I was in High School! Had a 69 350 12 bolt posi Chevelle and my Brother had THIS! Great times back then!!! I'm trying to find a 12 bolt posi for my 72 Chevelle, then maybe a stout crate motor? She runs but is tired with the original drivetrain...It has a big block now, but now it was not originally a big block. It came with a small block 326. My grandparents bought the car in 69 and gave it to me when I turned 16. Since then my Dad and I have been adding more and more power. We had a small block 400 crate motor with NOS in it while I was in High School. It was my daily driver in high school and I blew it up twice in 3 years. I didn't take it with me when I went to college, but I moved back to OC after college and then we had the big block built and put in it. A couple weeks ago I actually posted most of the current build specs in another forum post titled "Full scale toys!". https://arrmaforum.com/threads/full-scale-toys.3501/
Pretty much the only thing we have not done to the wagon is put it on a diet. It still weighs in at 5,200lbs, but we off set that with 1,000hp. The motor makes 650hp and we have a NOS system that is jetted at 400hp.

Nice.. I have looked on Summit Racing's Website at the Currie Rears but not Moser. Not even sure if Summit sells them, but I would love a ford (Moser) 9" under it. If I was a good enough welder I'd consider finding one in a U-Pull It and fitting it myself. My only issue would be having to order a new driveshaft as well. Had one cut to length and welded to fit my 69 Chevelle when I installed the 12 Bolt Posi in it. If my 72 Chevelle wasn't a REAL SS I'd have it tubbed and make a ProStreet out of it. Love the steamroller meats under the rear.If you want rear-end that is going to stand up to a lot of power I would suggest taking a look at what Moser has available. We went with 9" because we needed 2 sets of gears and the 9" is a lot easier to switch out than a 12 bolt. We have 4.88:1 Comp gears for the track and a set of 3.50 Pro Street gears for regular street driving. The car is fully registered and street legal, but living in Southern California the race mufflers are to loud so I have to put an old set of full pipes and mufflers on it if I don't want to be pulled over every other block trying to drive it on the street.
