On today’s episode, we finally take a look at my wife’s wagon. We don’t do any of the real work I’ve been putting off for months, but we do wash the grime off and make sure it still runs.
I had a 67 coronet 2 door 6 cylinder old local police car ,was a good vehicle. Treated me great drove the snot out of it .our family had 1960 Chevy Bel Air wagon with the six seat option. 283 automatic white. Replaced in 1966 with a dodge polara 4 door white 383 2 barrel another great car. When I got it in 70 I put dual exhaust from a sears kit cragars and lifted it up. Good times in that vehicle. Then came the best. in 70 we got a charger 500 383 4 bl auto 330 hp. not the magnum 335hp. now i am in heaven .but could not drive because they could not afford insurance for a 16 yr old
Nice! The 273 is an excellent engine. In my live stream the other day, someone suggested I build a 273 screamer. I really want to do that at some point.
@@DeadDodgeGarage Cool. That was my goal, too, when I rebuilt Dad's engine. I was going to make it a 273 Commando but my engine builder convinced me to keep it stock. Unfortunately, the 0.030 over flat top pistons that I got from Egge's sit low in the holes and the compression is lower than it should be. It runs great with the Isky E-4 cam that I put in but it sucks gas like a big block. I have a factory 273 4bbl intake in my garage for whenever I source a proper AFB, but I'm not putting it on until I decide to pull the motor again and do it the way I had intended with high compression.
Cool old wagon! I like the magnum 500's on it! Its definitely worthy of a restore in the future! Really dig the Sunn amp sticker on the rear glass! The perfect band wagon! Thanks for sharing!
Oh yeah. It’s dragged gear to more than a few loud rock shows. Haha. It’s much better at it with the new leaf springs we put in. It used to have a bad case of the sags…
I tried you my 91 Dodge truck for it's got the 318 in it right now is the roller 318 and I have a new 360 to put in it I got a new cam all that to go with it
No, we won’t be selling this one. I’m selling just about everything else though. Haha. Also, just saying, we paid quite a bit more than the average gasser D/W series truck is worth for it.
why does the station wagon get the cool V-shaped rear roof pillar like the 2-door has? but the four-door gets the square, vision blocking, chunky pillar? I'm kinda pissed being a 4 door owner! 👍👍loved it does it have the rear seat?
No rear seat on this one. If we ever find one that would be exciting. I don’t know but it’s cool. Haha. We had a four door 67 for a while. I traded it for a boat, and years later (this year in fact) found it at my friend’s shop being parted out.
