    Hey StukaJU87, thanks! Looks like we may have similar interests. I read a ton of aviation history, Just re-read Hans Rudels autobiagraphy.

    I dig your wagon, I like that 'rat-rod' look. It looks lethal, like the Stuka...

    Hey, copy cat.... Just kidding.
    Nice find. I love it! And what a deal!
    I'd love to see another all original 72, maybe someday we can meet up at a show or something.
    My personal opinion is modify all you want as long as you can unbolt and be done with it. I wouldn't make changes that are irreversible without major work.
    Remember, they're only original once.
    I started playing around with my wagon and my dad stopped me, mainly because he needed it to haul stuff and didn't want it down for any length of time, but in hindsight I'm happy I did stop. I bought my cutlass, which has been fixed over the years, was far from perfect when I bought it, and won't lose it's originality. It's at a poin5t where any work I do to it is an improvement. Once it's restored, it can be a restored car no matter how many times it's done so it doesn't matter what I do to it. Though it's only getting a body resto; interior resto with a tweak, stock looking, but floor shift and gauges; and a bigger motor and a manual trans. All reversible stuff.

    Sorry for my tanget/rant.
    I reiterate, nice score, I think you'll love it. :)

    Michael, I really do love your new wagon...and I like the idea of the copcar wheels and spotlights...very Adam-12/Emergency!
    The front-end styling of these Plymouths is very cool, and I have liked them since I was a kid.

    I hope you know I was just kidding you about the changes...I am one of the cheif Dr. Frankensteins on here...never met a wagon that I didn't want to change in some way. :smash:

    Looking forward to some pictures of your own...it looks as clean as new! :camera:

    My haul to Main and back is going to be a dash. 442wagon and I are going up and back in 1 day. I would love to cruise by sometime though... and if you get up to VT let me know. We'll see each other somewhere i'll bet. Mopar show or...? Your regent is sweet! I always liked B body's.

    No worries Wixom61, I get it!

    You have a lense that can see through tire smoke? :burnout:

    Here's what my brother said:
    "very cool !!!! tub the rear, add a 426 and bing bang boom...bob's your uncle !!!!
