    Hello everyone in stationwagon land. Haven't been on this site in months, because I have been busy nursing this 73 Sport Suburban wagon back to health.
    Found it on ebay for $2400 last September.
    Bought it sight unseen.
    The odo reads 44K.
    Who knows if that's right.
    Who cares, really?
    It is almost exactly like the first car I ever owned, so this has been an awesome trip down Memory Lane.
    After a tune-up, a new battery, and a new radiator, it now moves under its own steam. Lots more updates planned for it, but I'm having so much fun driving it that I don't want to start any major disassembly!:)

    Nice wagon!! Exactly like you say, who cares, you're in a wagon you love. Drive the wheels off it.

    Cheers

    Terrific score! I'd drive her as is--too cool. I've always loved the look of the '73 full-size Plymouths. I was the caretaker of this plain-jane Fury I for a while several years ago. Looks good even in base form.

    Congrats again and keep us updated with your travels/progress with her!
