I noticed FCBO has a "mopar wagons" section for wagons only.

Any chance FABO will follow because there are a lot of us who love wagons.
Wagons are a hot car these days and I think it would get a fair amount of traffic to have our own mopar wagons section.

As it stands, wagon restorations get lost in the mix.

Same thing was claimed about convertibles and a variety of other forum suggestions.

By in large, its pretty safe to say I am not looking to add any additional forums.
 
I can host a build thread on HH for you if you like? Your wagon, your photos, your build.

We are overdue for a wagon & 4-door photo section there & a build album would be an awesome way to get it started.

What happened to the “show us your wagons” thread? I was a member years back when I had a 65 Dart wagon. I loved that thread. Also seemed pretty popular

Stationwagon.com - the online home of the Station Wagon (home page) Started by a Mopar Wagon guy, then went inactive around '04 or so....

Yeah, but hot in a limited way. Here's my experience with that: Back in '01 or so, I bought a 71 Fury Custom Suburban 9 passenger wagon, having grown tired of my 85 Ramcharger. It was F7 green, no woodgrain, 383 w/ air. It had a beautiful dark green interior, two tone dk green w light green accent upholstery. I changed the bench to a bench w armrest. Much better for a growing family, my first daughter came home from the hospital in it in '04. At Carlisle, I was the only 71 Fury wagon. Added a 12 disc CD changer, and 6x9's in the rear top wheelwell compartments - didn't cut anything. Lightly tinted the side glass.

Wagons are like 64-66 A bodies. Beautiful when the trim and paint is nice, and can be had w neat options. But there's very few performance wagons, and they never seem to have reached the high desirability of 67-69 A bodies, or 68-70 B bodies. I sold it around 2010, didn't need 4 cars (daily driver Jeep, 72 Demon, 69 Charger) and a company truck.

From 2002 or 3 I think.

There was a 64 Chrysler New Yorker 9 Pass wagon for sale on CL here for $2500 2 weeks ago . I dont have room and had to pass... super clean and complete for the price ! Sold that day . I think I know who had it but why torment myself !
 
gotcha, you refer to them as forums
i figured the forum was the entire thing, and these sub doohickies were like aisles


and you're right, i never go down that particular aisle of fabo, because, well, i dont have a ragtop and there is nothing in that aisle i need

and i have NO idea how hard or easy it is to add a aisle, so i'll take your word for it
 
There is 8 pages of threads with the word "Wagon" in the title. Scroll through and if if you don't find what you need start your own thread. I did that for the 66 Dart owners. 36 pages later. 66 Dart Owners thread

its not that its hard to add - its that it takes up space and makes things more complicated for users to find what they are looking for.

i have a (bad?) habit of just using the "new posts" button, so i hardly never know what aisle i'm wandering down :rolleyes: the only time i try to notice is when i'm posting, and i guess wrong about 1/2 the time anyway, so...
 
Joeychgo said:
Yup - notice how little traffic that forum has? Look - we cant have a forum for everything. We have too many now as far as I'm concerned.

This guy speaks the truth.

If there’s a wagon forum then folks might also then want a forum for 4 doors and then one for A bodies with slant six 4 speed models. Oh and a forum for mod top A bodies.

That is why I said 2.5 years later. The op was in 2018, they shot down the idea and now a lot people are adding to this thread as if it's something new.

Appearantly, this forum gets as much traffic as the ragfop forum
 
There are some places on FB that cater to wagons/4 doors, even 4 door mopar. I dislike FB left wing politics and agenda, but there are some really good car spots on there, a lot of them.
I would wonder IF car forums such as FABO< FBBO has threads for naked women, tits ect etc.. it could have a spot for wagons and more doors!!? LOL
I agree wagon and more dorr interest grows more all the time. I have no idea if they deserve a thread, Joey knows the details of it all I am sure.
 
Can we have a sub forum for white cars? White car's lives matter.
