what makes a wagon cool

As someone who loves wagons and have owned a few (wood and no wood) I prefer no wood. Pics of a couple I have owned.

What is that second wagon there? Can honestly say I've never seen one before.

The burgandy one in the 1st 3 pics is a 1980 Plymouth Volare. The orangeish (actually painted 2000 Prowler Red) one is a 1977 Dodge Aspen. The grill is just blacked out.

Here were a few Wagons for sale at last years Moparfest.

This Little Gem was a Custom creation at Moparfest a couple years ago. The detail in this was amazing. Was Really WELL put together. Yes a 2 Door!!

I'm liking the early aspen/volare wagons. A lot actually. Might know what my next project is :3

what makes a wagon cool it is old and still going some my not look good as others but its still rolling down the road! and lets see in another 40 years how many of the cars built today are still rolling down the road.

thanks guys for all the input and pics of other wagons for ideas ......i am getting a lot of good input from a lot of you via Pm too, with suggestions that are really making me think.........this car is very close to being dragged into the shop .......the wheels are the first thing that will be history .......those were from a ferd ranger and are there only bcoz they hold air and get the car off the ground......this is all very fun times ....THANKS FABO

i scored a 440 for this car on sunday :cheers:

plus it looks like R/T won the popular vote

a dream car to me has always been a 68 coronet R/T, but at first i was reluctant at best to put R/T emblems on a wagon ....REALLY LOL

but today i was driving down the road and saw a new DART R/T the i saw a Neon R/T then up the road is a 2000-something charger R/T and i starting thinking that if chrysler has the audacity to put R/T emblems on these new "pimp" cars and plastic junk ........why should i have a problem putting R/T emblems on real American Iron that is true classic Big Block powered ....


So im done...... R/T it is

now the only question lingering in my head is: Bucket seats came standard in R/T so would buckets in a wagon be Lame???

maybe time for a whole new poll LOL

Rani,you caused station wagon overload,already!(lol).

I voted for the Super Bee look with the Ramcharger hood. Do what you will with the powertrain. You have to live with it and feed it.

One of the photos of a red Valiant wagon gave me an idea to suggest. What about putting a Charger front clip on it (preferably a 68.) ? To keep costs down, put your existing grille on the Charger clip a'la the 69 Charger 500.

Rani, the R/T idea sounds great, especially with a 440, and so do the buckets and console! I've seen the buckets and console in a wagon before and if done correctly they look factory and way cool.

that is an awesome idea about a 69 charger 500 look ....it always amazes me as to how overlooked the 69 charger 500 is. i was actually at a mopar show with mopar ppl and a 69 charger 500 was there and the reaction a lot of ppl gave was "oh that charger has the wrong grille, something is wrong" LOL

i had thought of a charger front end but wow.....ppl on ebay think charger stuff is pure gold.........you have a good idea and that would work if i happen to run across the right pieces .....you never know what your going to find tomorrow

yes, i would absolutely use only correct looking pieces....i have a strict policy against aftermarket stuff.....so no over sized racing seat or anything goofy like that LOL

the car is going four speed so i was leaning towards no console.......just like this pic of a true 68 R/T....same set-up ...same dash as pic ....a console would be easy to do with a 4 speed on a B-body ......but to me the console kinda gets in the way.......but it is an option ........its not like the A-body 4 speed console which is rare and overpriced.

That's why I don't run a console in my Duster.
