Show us your tired, your poor, your huddled massive wagons!

Dan in the picture that wagon still looks great.

 

Living proof that photo lie! The paint on the hood is all cracked and peeling off. The two rear pillars (back of car) are rusted through. The floors are sheetmetal and epoxy patched. The driver side back door is bent up pretty good. the tailgate is bent up as well and the framework that holds the solinoid for the window release has rust off and the window can only be opened with the key. And as long as I own this car I will never have to have my driveway sealcoated because this car leaks enough oil to keep it nice and shiny black! Still a great car but in real life it really shows it's age!!

 

Dan: The important thing is that you keep the old girl going, and going, and going! This is the time for your best Sir Winston imitation, and "Never Surrender!"

 

And let's not forget, it has a set of cute Illinois license plates on it! Almost makes me homesick. But I just checked the temps in the Peoria area. Hope the heater still heats.

 

I nominate Dan for the 'Timex Award'........

 

But it doesn't tick! It purrrs!

 

I have a couple for you guys
This is a 57. Pretty complete, almost rust free. The owner is willing to sell for somewhere in the 4K range. has all upgraded suspension. No motor/trans


The 77 I just picked up. Just having a look see


and the same guy has this Bitchin 63 Buick. He wants around 5K. It's a runner driver


I'm really, ultimately looking for a 70-72 Burb 2wd, 3dr. 1/2ton, but who isn't.I got this one in Cali. but it's a long drive-

This interesting 66 is in my neck of the woods too

 

AHEM!!!

Getting "more tired" everyday. Before too long will be worth nothing more than its weight in scrap. In desperate need of a good early 70s Quadra-Jet carb to see if that is the low power problem and see if I can rule that out as the issue. I have my eye on a nice 1973 Ford Country Squire right now, as well as a 1973 Pontiac Grand Safari... if I get either one of them, this one is probably going bye-bye. My mom says keep it, dad says sell/trade it. Maybe cause dad don't wanna help me work on it.

 

I like that '63 Buick, someone here had a white '64 Invicta wagon (last and only Invicta model) that was driven by a clueless dad and son. That was in the last 25 years, probably doesn't exist anymore.

 

I like that 72 Kingwood Estate. If it needs to go, how much will you need?

 

I spotted this one in Macon yesterday, I'm not sure if its very tired, though.



The wheels don't do much for me, but it was good to see her cruising through the city streets anyways.

Thought I'd share!

Our tired old beast has just hit the 267K! I am shooting for the big 300K. My son is looking for another car. That means i would get this one back maybe 400K ?????

 

i have a few old wagons sitting around that have seen better days.. but they always make for good storage untill someone see's them woth the time and money to bring em back from the dead..... here are a few i am sure i have more that i dont have a picture of

 

Just got mine running again 1972 350 2wd 1/2 ton. Pretty sure this '68 belongs to David Freiburger at HOT ROD magazine.

Might know of someone that would buy that!

My 1973 Gran Torino wagon that was last tagged in 1978
