Love the MOPAR. When I was 5 or so my uncle used to cruise around in a 68 Road Runner, 383 cid, 4 on the floor, dark green with black interior. Was hooked on MOPARS since. I used to have a 67 Dodge Coronet 440 daily driver. Kinda miss it. Pretty sure that that “charger station wagon” is a Coronet wagon with Super Bee decals on it. I might be wrong, but I don’t thing Dodge ever made a station wagon with the Charger marque on it.
Real, Dodge and all the other marques made concept cars and it is conceivable that the Charger or the Challenger were those, or, some one made them with roofs from other SWs or fabbing them. I included them because I like station wagons, my first car was a 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury wagon with the big block or Y block 318cid engine and I have had Fords X3, Pontiac Tempests and a Vista Cruiser wagons and loved them all and I wish I had one or two of them now.
I would cheerfully own, operate and drive the wheels off any of the station wagons in this spread.
I once passed up a chance to purchase a 67 Coronet station wagon with a factory 426 hemi cause my dad wouldn’t front me the extra $2000 I needed above what I had in my pocket. The car was fricking mint. I had $4000 on me and he was asking $6000. Damn. Double damn.
Nice spread!
My drool cup over-floweth!
Thank you! Top Notch work!
95 Viper &66 rag top, Sweet!
The 63 wagon is gorgeous. Can’t be many left.
Very nice. Thanks.
After dad sold the station wagon to my brother, daddy O puckex up a ’73 Polara. He drove it like he was Richard Petty. And that beast was up to the task, especially after upgrading the 440.
On Counts cars yesterday he had a Red 66 coronet hot rod. He donated to a veteran fundraiser charity.
There was a guy in town who owned a Daytona. It was LIME GREEN. UUUGGLLIIIEEESSSTTT thing I’ve ever seen on four wheels.
My Dad had a 1960 Dodge Dart Phoenix 4-door. He took the family from suburban Chicago to Mexico City on vacation. The parked car got sideswiped the first afternoon! Had to wait on repairs, but saw a lot in town.
#3 The 71 Cuda. I graduated high school in 79. The summer before my senior year I found a highly oxidized red 71 Cuda that was parked behind a barn where it had been parked about a year. The gas tank was full of rust. The tires were dry rotted. I paid $2500 and another $1000 for a gas tank, shocks, tires, plugs, points, carb rebuild kit, oil service, and battery. It was a base model with the 440ci 4 barrel and limited slip 4:11 rear end. When gas went from 49 cents a gall to 79 cents a gallon I could no longer afford a car that got 9 mpg.
