    I would have to agree.. Nicely done. I am a big fan of the 67 and earlier wagons, and considered a 71/72 at times as well, but the 68-70 never caught my eye so I didn't have any pictures of those...

    I don't have the prize yet, but I will come up with something. PM me your address.

    Till then, all I have are these two ads for '67 Belvedere Wagons.. Both ends of the spectrum

    This one is all decked out, for $13K and is in Kansas:

    1967 Plymouth GTX station Wagon 440 4-speed Mopar - $13000 (Overbrook, KS)

    Thanks, but I don't deserve any prize. I was certain it was a rear bumper from a 67-68 Polara or Monaco wagon till I saw the 68 Lemans wagon photo. It was a fun quiz though.
    Thanks for the links to the Belvedere wagons. The GTX is out of my price range, doesn't have the Belvedere II trim, and doesn't have the "stock" look I'm after. The Belvedere wagon in Reno for $1200.00 if its solid and rust free , needing only the right front fender, would be a great choice. It doesn't matter that its a slant six, and three on the tree. My plan would be to make it look bone stock on the outside, down to white wall tires and full wheel covers, but to install the four bucket seat 66 Charger interior with full length console. The six would be replaced with a late model 5.7 Hemi a buddy of mine has sitting on an engine stand in his garage. It would then replace my 2002 VW Passatt wagon, and would be driven regularly.
    Unfortunantly, at this point I don't have the space or time to do that resto-mod, and I'm not ready to buy a car from the west coast sight unseen, and have it shipped east. Still, if that car were within a 5 hour drive from me I would likely be checking it out this weekend with a borrowed trailer in tow.

    Jim,
    It might be a good idea to go ahead and get the Belvedere guy's name and email before it disappears off CL.
    He may not sell that thing anytime soon, and you might make time and space for it later.

    Just a thought,
    David :)

    ...and I e-mailed the seller of that Belvedere wagon with a list of questions. Its so far away. I hope its a piece of junk so I don't have to consider actually buying it and then dealing with shipping, storage and restoration.

    It is amazing how many times this has come in handy in the past for me and others I know. The person doesn't get any offers and months pass, you call up and work out an exceptional deal....
