My new 68 Coronet Wagon, can't believe I found one!!!

Just have to share my excitement with the community. I finally found my unicorn car, 1968 Dodge Coronet Wagon! I have a 68 Coronet 2 door that looks like a bee and have always wanted a matching wagon. I've been looking for almost 2 years now. There are plenty of 69's, lots of Plymouths, but I could never find a 68 dodge. Saturday night I found one about 4 hour drive from home. Sunday afternoon, I was bringing it back on the trailer. It's a 440 package, 318 column shift, power steering, manual front disc brakes, cruise control, six passenger. Has almost no rust, only the passenger side spare tire well.

I drove it to work this morning. Already had my first breakdown. Ran out of gas pulling into the gas station down the road from the house. Had to buy a can and fill it up in the parking lot. I planned to fill it up at that gas station, was just about 50 feet short of the pump with no help to push. Very embarrassing. But she fired right up once I put gas in it. I just laughed it off. Smooth as silk going 70 down the highway. Heater would have been nice.

If anyone has a four door/wagon front seat I want it. I'm also looking for a factory steering wheel, condition is not important. First things first, factory wheels and hub caps with new tires, electronic ignition, and fix the heater.

Anyways, just wanted to share my excitement and show y'all a picture. I love this one!

Congrat's!!!!! Nice Looking Dodge!!!!!

 

cool thinking back on my childhood all we had was dodge and plymouth wagons

 

congrads on finding the unicorn!

 

Glad to share in your excitement. Seems like I ran out of gas almost to the pumps once. Glad you got it filled up and it ran okay. Sometimes running out can cause problems.

 

Congratulations!
Great looking car!

 

Nice find. Just two weeks ago, I ran out of gas at a gas station with my 68 Barracuda. I was just 5' short of the pump and had a buddy with me who helped push.

 

Congrats, I really like it!

 

Congrats on finding the wagon you wanted!

 

Looks like a nice, solid unit. Congratulations!

50 feet from the pumps and there was NOBODY around to push you?
Oh, the humanity........

 

Congrats…..Sweet Ride.
I just found my '67 Country Squire to go along with my '67 Galaxie 500.
Have fun with it.
Very cool looking car!

 

Congrats on finding the "hard-to-find" you were looking for
Not something that is always doable !
And a 440 - sweet.

 

cool old wagon!
