I was looking at your site and enjoyed it. I been a fan of wagons since my teens. I learned to drive in a 64 Dodge 440 wagon. I have owned a few since then. I have no restored or driving wagons right now. But I still love to look at them. What I do have is a 76 Merc Montcalm wagon with a seized motor, A 62 Valiant wagon that was a donor for one guys project. The floors are rusted away and back roof cormer. I also have a 74 AMC Hornet Sportabout. WHich I took off the road due to the rust. It was a ex armed forces vehicle. The front A pillar has rusted away abd moves when you open the door. It is a shame to park it. It still ran and worked great. I have had a 71 Lemans wagon, 69 Ford Country squire, a78 Plymouth Fury Suburban wagon a 81 Lebaron wagon and a 77 Dodge royal Monaco wagon that I got at an estate sale for $200 ahd it for 3 years and a collector from Calgary came and offered me $8000 for it. I could not refuse since I was a single parent with two teens. The car had only 42,000 original miles and everything worked. It needed a tailgate hinge which I got, but never got it installed. I Know of a few more wagons around here that are for sale. As I said I have enough projects. I have no time to work on these wagons now. GLEN
to the toolbox Glen from the warm province round here...it dont matter if you have a wagoon....just as long as you get it and it sounds like you got it
I forgot a couple. I had a 79 Zephyr wagon with a 302. That thing got me 32 Mpg on the highway. Also a 72 Dodge Colt wagon. My ex's 1st husband sabatoge it. He drained the oil out of it one night. We drove into the city and she seized up. Checked the rest of our cars. Lucky only the one got toasted. Could not prove he did it. But she was in the final stages of that divorce. I should of ran then>LOL
Welcome Glen, from the 'Peg. Lotta folks don't appreciate that our Prairie cars rust more from the weeds up through the floors than the roadsalt after 1965. My 1979 Fairmont had a 302, but never got that kind of MPG, even on a US gallon.
It is really too bad that the "rust worm" has infested so many good wagons. There should be a spray for that.
