I love big MOPARS. I grew up the oldest of Six is a big N. E. family. Dad was a MOPAR fan in the 50’s&60’s, till he switched to Lincoln in 71, after a lemon in 64, that he traded in for a 64 Imperial Crown Coupe that was absolutely amazing, but was forced to trade in for a three row wagon, as the family grew. But not just any wagon no! Dad special ordered a 68 Chrysler Town&Country Beach Wagon in deep metallic maroon with matching leather three row interior, power everything, AM/FM 8 track with reverb amp. and 4 speakers. Plus a honking 440/4 brl TNT dual exhaust engine, with factory towing package, that yes indeed included a 3:09 posi! One night a friend and I had the wagon going so fast the speedometer needle went past 120, all the way to 9:00 o’clock on the clock just past the speedometer! That wagon lasted us for 148,000 miles with normal maintenance with only freeze plugs needing replacement. Plus water pump and alternator. Dad sold it to a big immigrant family.

My dad had one exactly like it. Overheated 2 years (in 1973) later on a trip. The radiator had to be removed every 2 years and flushed and cleaned. Starter went bad frequently. Left side motor mount broke at least twice. Drive shaft universal joint broke at least twice. Other than that, it was an awesome car. I learned how to drive in it. It was a Beast of a car. I wish I could drive one again. Not exactly a collectors car, most were junked or used in derby's.

Nice rig! The classic green with wood grain was all the rage back in the day, but brown is good too for a survivor. Why is the Brady Bunch playing in my head right now...?

Nice to see you starting up a new project series with a VERY cool Chrysler cruise ship! These are streamlined good looking big block beasts and we're super solid, powerful and reliable. That 383 is one short stroke, big piston high winding B big block Mopar screamer in a land yacht! Look how that baby lit right up - and sounds great too. I gotta send you some pictures if my recently squired 1972 New Yorker that is the spitting image of yours. This thing has NO rust, but the telescoping/tilt column is partially apart to put a new ignition switch ( got it that way- owner died, key lost, got thru farmer neighbor who retitled the car. Funny, entertaining video. Cannot go wrong with the subject material! Keep the Mopower coming!

A good way to finance this project is with all the square footage of the roof, build a SPACIOUS tiny home and charge a family rent.. LOL. Then charge them extra to go on the power your.😜

3rd Yo that radiator don't look right if you can have a third-row make it a little bitter make your day a little better on the cooling especially with that AC compressor and all that what you get for a tag on the rear end what's the ratio cool that it's f****** suregrip okay atarot trust me that radiator I don't think belongs to that car I think that come from something else cuz it's not the one that belongs with that car in my opinion cheers bro Sorry about run-ons punctuation weird sounding sentences and using voice to text and I ain't fixing it
