That wagon has been around a number of years now. I can kind of remember when it first came up for sale.....Dusty and dirty. Then some guy bought it and put a little time into detailing it a bit...mostly the dash pieces I think. I haven't seen it for a few years....glad it's got a new home. Hope you bring this one back to it's former glory...a factory 440/4spd wagon is ultra Uber cool!!!

Now that you mentioned it, I now remember that car. Was kind of sad looking. Made you want to bring it home and go bankrupt bringing it back to life. Trigger was too light back then. Another one that almost went off. lol

You are effen amazing.....:eusa_clap:

 

[livininharrow]

yes plum crazy tony hemi was the guy i bought the wagon from. his description of the wagon was pretty much dead on. no disappointments. i paid 9400 bucks for it. [ ouch] but given the condition and rarity of this wagon i dont regret it one bit. it will be transformed into a beauty if i dont go bankrupt first.lol

no i dont.a good friend of mine does engine rebuilds and performance machine work. he did all of the work and got the engine to this point for me. i have assembled a couple of smallblock 340 motors in the past for a couple of a bodies that i have that he had machined for me but i didn"t wanna gamble on this 440.

Congratulations.
Tony is a great guy and very honest

A run stand is in my future, it would have saved me some grief on my current rear main seal issue.

 

[commando1]

You already have a run stand...

 

[Samplingman]

Wow! You really only need an engine stand?

Congratulations.

hey plum crazy next time you talk to tony ask him if he ever found the dash pad that was supposed to be with the wagon when i bought it. thanks.

yes they do. i built a 35 plymouth 340 4 speed which i still own. when all my hot rod buddies were putting 350 chebbie automatics in their rides. YUCK. like cookie cutters. my favorite saying to all my hot rod buds is this. [ real hot rods have three pedals ] enough said.

I would choose to NOT use an engine stand in that manner. I have a welder, a bunch of steel, a sacrificial big block bell housing, some extra radiators and a brain between my ears.
