    Hello Group,

    I am new to this forum and restoring station wagons.
    I have restored other cars (1959 Edsel Ranger and 1968 Ford Galaxie 500 Fastback) but never a wagon.;)

    I have a chance at a 1963 Plymouth Belvedere with a 318 and push button auto trans and wanted to get the forum's opinion on difficult it it going to be to fing parts for this beast.:49:

    I am sentitive to this since both my past two restoration projects were one year only cars and finding the "apperance parts" was a nightmare.:banghead3:

    Also while I am asking....What is the most collectable wagon(s)?:D
    I not really into following the pack but I always like to get my bearings. (You know like '57 Chevy, '65 Mustang, etc.! - ha)

    well good lord bubba if you restored an edsel then you are quite well aqauinted with oddball cars and all the hassles that come with it ,,,,,i say take it on and fergit followin the pack,,,,,,,heck your already comin close ta bein a weirdo being here but you,ll really like it,,,,,,,you didn,t really mention your capabilities but i assume you know a little bit of something,, being you restored them two fords,,,, so i assume you know your limitations :yikes: and it seems nowadays any thing mopar generally regardless of how old ,,is full of its share of touching situations because they are not as plentiful compared to other makes then you add into the mix of being a wagon on top of that,,,,,shoot i like others on here have a somewhat difficult time with parts for my 84 olds custom cruiser but it dont bother me to much (y)
