A Body WAGONS-Ho! A body Wagon Thread

You are going to enjoy driving this car.Mine was a 225 automatic until at around 325,000 miles when the motor finally bit the dust.When I pulled it and took a peek inside I found 4 of the pistons had broken rings and the damn thing still ran ! At that point I decided to put in a sweet 170 I had and a 4 speed from a 6 cyl 65 Barracuda I had. I also had a 7 1/4 323 sure grip so I did that as well. It's rusty in the quarters but a joy to drive.I take it on long trips and use it to haul lumber up at my camp in the Adirondacks.They were meant to be used and will treat you real good if you do use them.My friend here in LI has a Dart wagon. His is also a 170 but an automatic and like mine ,in daily service. With the 4 speed I find I have much greater control of the engine and can get upwards of 24 MPG.It's a 400 mile ride to my camp ant this little beast does it without breaking a sweat on a tank and 1/8th of gas.
