Dedicated to the love that is large and loaded with chrome!

This page is dedicated to the love of ma' mopar station wagons. Very few of us remain on God's green earth, but we shall survive. This page will be worked on constantly to provide pictures and descriptions of Detroits finest wagons.

Some people ask me "Why in the world would you want a station wagon?" and my response usually is, to put it bluntly, "Why not!". The station wagon is usually thought of as a gas guzzling, grocery getting, work horse beast. But in my mind, the wagon is probably the best vehicle ever designed by man! Here are some advantages of owning a wagon:

• Really cheap insurance rates
• Can you say "Merging into traffic"?
• Perfect for taking everybody on a long road trip along with a BBQ grill, picnic table and refrigerator thrown in the back
• Ever try to get intimate in bucket seats?
• Kiss moving vans goodbye
• Want to go camping, but don't own a tent? No problem!
• Two words "Tailgate Party"
• The look on some guy's face after you blow the doors of his 5.0 Mustang
• To heck with "two tons of fun", how 'bout 5!

My current project is a '68 Plymouth Fury Custom Suburban purchased for the meager price of only $450 dollars (it is truly a sweet thing when people practically give these things away!). The current specs on my pride and joy are:

• 383 2bbl,
• 727 Torqueflite tranny,
• 2 1/4 dual exhaust
• Mopar Performance Electronic Ignition Kit (I finally got around to putting that in!)

Some of the things I need that can't be bought at my local auto parts store:

• The rear aluminum trim piece inbetween the tail lights that is stamped "Custom Suburban"
• adjustable roof rack
• spare tire cover (dark green)

If anyone out there knows or has any of these items, drop me a line at the address below.

This is my bro's recently bought (after about 4 hours of cleaning) 66 Fury III wagon The current specs on "Moby":

• 383 4bbl,
• 727 torqueflite tranny,
• Tilt-A-Scope steering wheel
• ? size dual exhaust,
• adjustable roof rack,
• and 3rd rear seat (Chrysler lied about this one, you CANNOT fit 3 people in the back!)

You are # to view my humble site since January 22, 1998

No wagons were harmed during the making of this web page (except for my brothers first wagon, may she rest in peace.)

Many thanks to: My brother Jay for always helping me when working on the beast that I love so dearly, Damon Albright for the sheet metal work on the rusty trunk, the parts guys down at Tom Matson Dodge in Auburn, WA for always putting up with me and giving me great deals and even better service, Steve Manning and his inspirational work on his page that motivated me to start my own, KBSG for all the great oldies to go cruisin' to (o.k. maybe I'm a little bit young for these tunes but I love 'em anyway), and last but not least, Gaffo Jones and the guys & gals at Wagons of Steel for possibly putting out the finest 'zine ever to be read!
