'68 Plymouth Custom Suburban (updated)

Hey...Furyman, Pat & other Mopar guys...what's your take on this wagon?
Will a 440 go in there without a lot of tranny problems? I'm no Mopar man.

Wow..another cherry looking wagon! Amazing there are so many still around.Post 65 C Bodys are very easy to do a big block swap....same K member and diff so all you need is any 66 to 78 big block and 727 and away you go.Motor mounts are 66 to 73 biscuit type common to most Mopars.The only other thing it would need is a 69 to 73 full size C Body disc conversion and away you go.I have a buddy with 10 68 Furys...no wagons he wants one but his wife says no more.He still has his dads 73 Satellite wagon.

 

Mopar made a nice looking wagon.

 

Thanks, Furyman. I like this rig but I'm looking at others now too. For some reason ... when I look at this wagon I smell bondo...don't know why. I'm pretty SURE I see bondo in that aqua and white '59.

 

X2 on Furyman's words. Big blocks were normal in these, and a swap is a piece of cake.

 

Thanks, Pat. I'm not infatuated with the interior on that wagon but I like the exterior if it isn't full of bondo. Sure would like to see some nice split power seats in there with a tilt and a 440 under the hood!

 

SilverFox, you're in a Fury to find a wagon. We'll have to rename you to SilverFury, once you get it.

 

Well....I am finally getting one if it works out. But I'm still always looking....

 

Real nice Fury wagon, snatch it up, big block or no. I think it looks great as is.

 

Just made arrangements to go get a different one, mojohn. Have to wait and see how I like it when I get to NY.

 

If anyone is interested in that wagon in Glendale... let me know, I'd be happy to go take a look at it if someone makes contact with the guy... I could report back on the findings... I live in Phoenix

 

WHOA...Barge! I saw the above offer and I just MAY want you to do that. I have an email in to a guy right now after seeing your offer to find out what it would cost me, approximately, in materials and parts to do what I want to that wagon. Please email me your fee for this and when I hear back from the guy I will email you back either way, pronto. I don't expect you to do it for nothing. I like that wagon but I have a hunch he's gonna want a fortune for it.

 

Nice wagon but the color isn't for my tastes.

 

I like it because it looks authentic. Put the regular wheels on that and it's right out of the 60's. Not saying that those wheels don't look GREAT on there...just saying that the car is pretty much period authentic with the regular wheels & hubs.

 

Hey STORMIN' I'm not necessarily in a fury to get a wagon. I just want to get started on one...takes a long time to get one where you want it. Unfortunately, time is something I don't have a lot of.
