The Griswolds wagon!! “You think you hate it now, just wait til you drive it Clark”!! Lol get it road worthy and take a family vacation!
Holiday road , first thing that came to my mind when I seen it.
One of the things I really appreciate about this channel compared to other revival style channels is you guys don’t just stop at the revival, you throw some mods at a vehicle and make something really cool with it.
I hope we get to see more on the wagon, it’s super cool!
I really appreciate that 😊 We’re excited to bring this one back to life!! Thanks so much for watching!
They’ll definitely be more on this one!
@@BudgetBuildz can’t wait to see it! This thing would be a sweet power tour car!
This thing is worth a rebuild you don't see too many station wagons anymore and it's still practical.
While I prefer restoring vehicles to stock. Stock can also be, " cool".
While I prefer restoring to stock.
Wagons are the most fun cars to drive. Doesn't matter if they fast or slow
,💯👍
Do you guys actually restore car or just get them running?
I’ve got to agree with you!! Love me a wagon!
@@josearriola3087 It depends if it's worth it or it's just a money pit
My grandparents had this exact car! I remember many summers riding to the cottage in the rear seats with my Brothers.
My grandpa gave it to my older brother to drive to high school and he pulled out the motor to put in his 73 dart...I was gutted.
I've been trying to find one ever since, but living in rust belt Canada there are nine left. You guys are certainly blessed...I would give anything for that car!
I came across a decent looking survivor that was posted on Auto Trader about 2 years ago, and located in Burlington, Ontario. Asking price was pretty high, however.
That is the right alternator for that car, it's a Leese-Neville heavy duty unit that came on the full power Chryslers to run all of the electrical accessories. They were also used on ambulances, police cars, and industrial applications.
C-Body wagons - the ULTIMATE FAMILY HAULER. Looking forward to this!
I’m so excited to see y’all rescuing a wagon! There’s nothing like a classic wagon.
👍💯, hardly ever see one on the road anymore.
Wagons make me think of childhood family vacations 😄
Burnout car yea
Nobody bothers with family cruisers.
We can’t wait to bring this one back!!
One of the things I really like about your “will it run” videos Michael, is your systematic approach, air filter off, check for oil, disconnect fuel line to carb, plugs out, lubricant into cylinders etc. way more efficient and increases the chance of an engine start 👍🙂
She’s a beauty. Used to be a great family hauler. Unfortunately memories were made. She deserves a comeback.
Thanks for rescuing that wagon from ending up in the crusher & for bringing that good old girl back to life. It's comforting to know there are still guys like you paying tribute to those great cars from yesteryear.
I'm 44, so these station wagons were still very much a thing when I was young. I'd LOVE to have something like this to go on trips with daughter and grandkids some day.
So glad you saved that one before someone derbied it. There aren't many of these old Chryslers left to be found these days, especially the wagons. I hope you have fun with this one!
I am glad you love station wagons as much as we all do! Everything you guys find is always a hit with viewers. Just another beautiful beast to power wash, tweak and get rolling. If your favorite ice cream shop, hot dog stand, taco joint and burger bar are REALLY nearby, you have found the ride that will get the WHOLE family there in roomy comfort. Count me as one that thinks this land barge is one good lookin' rig begging for a new life. Looking forward to part 2 - cheers!!!
OMG! Love me some station wagons and even though that air craft carrier is huge and consumes fuel faster than Budlight is losing sales, I love it! So big and so wasteful. So over the top! So grand! Your Porsche project was amazing! Been here since the light blue VW pickup. Must see channel! I was 14 when this was a new car. Thanks for getting it to run again. I hope it goes to a good home where we can relive an era when SUV
"s and runt CUV's never existed!
A series on this would be great. This awesome wagon deserves to be restored. The engine did not put you in trouble at all!
LOVE the ol family wagons! Brings back old childhood nightmares lol.
What a nice find to rescue keep it original once you give it a nice clean it is something that you don't see any more 😂 thanks for your guys that we can enjoy this builds 😊
Yes, please don't ruin it with ugly exhaust and white letter tires.
What a cool old rig! Definitely get it back on road!
Wow, that's a big old bus! Sounds really good once that lifter settled down too! :)
I wouldn't worry about "dialing" the engine in, just check the timing, give her a tune, plugs etc, change the oil & coolant, new radiator, hoses, brakes, exhaust - drive it !! Very cool wagon and a great find !! well done guys👍👍
I'm A Mopar guy myself, and would love to see this thing back on the road. I have always loved the "C" body Mopars, and you have definitely earned a subscription from me, my curiosity is peaked. On a foot note, if you truly want to care for this car, a rule of thumb of mine, is to always change the timing chain. They came factory with Nylon tooth gears. Also note on a big block Chrysler, never free rev into the secondaries as this can round off cam lobes, Chrysler cams were soft. Hopefully the frame is in reasonable condition, would love to see it up on a lift. Oh, yeah...the station wagon does have a different fuel tank than the standard car, so they are not interchangeable.
I have fond memories like many good people of John candy on a memorable road trip with Martin, hysterically creating one amazing family film 🎥 thank you guys have a awesome day 🕊🤍👋
Congrats on getting her running 👍 now you have the fun project of chasing down bad wiring 😂 A notorious electrical nightmare 😉 I'm pretty sure you guys will sort it out. Keep up the good work guys 👍✌️🇺🇲
The alternator is most definitely Chrysler's High amp alternator. They used these in cars that had all the electronic accessories such as electric seats, electric windows, etc.
The T&C looks like hell, but with a little work, and some "power adders", that would make a very nice muscle wagon!
Wow I sure love seeing these old classics coming back to life! Your doing an awesome job on these restoration projects, keep up the amazing work!
I think these old wagons had so much style and are very under-appreciated! Great job resurrecting it!! Look forward to what you do next!
Thanks for the Dagmar reference. Sent me on a pleasant internet search 👀 👍
My first car was a 1976 Fiat 128 3p and I tinkered and struggled with it just as you are doing with your 1976. I had a mechanic about two miles away; my ten speed bicycle fit nicely in the hatchback 😝
That wagon looks to be in decent shape. I hope you get the transmission hooked up, brakes fixed and new rubber, then clean her all up. I like this wagon. That third seat makes this a treasure.
The alternator is a GM 100 amp bought by Chrysler for an electric rear window defroster. What you thought was a pump for the shocks is really a "fuel pacer". It makes the left blinker light come on when the vacuum drops because it thinks you are lead footing it and being "fuelish" as they said in the 70s. I forgot what that module is next to the ignition module, maybe the OSAC timer. I hope you restore the car. They are my favorite cars. I had a 74 Satellite, 75 Imperial, and 73 Adventurer. All of them were wonderful!
Your format is one of my favorites on UA-cam. You guys do quality work and do things right. The Roach Motel carburetor cracks me up 🪳😂🤣. Love the fender skirts.
My grandparents had a Mopar with a big block (1966 Fury III) and they towed a camper with that thing all over the USA and Canada. Gramps worked for Bell Telephone all his adult life and got a nice pension.
Campers were smaller then, but you could do things with sedans/wagons that you'd need a truck for today.
My mother had a '72 Pontiac wagon. A Grand Safari with the 455 c.i. motor. Huge car. Had the clam-shell tailgate and seating for two or four more behind the rear seat. Sure wish I had gotten hold of it before they traded it. Was nice to drive and would move on out too. Hope you rebuild your Chrysler.
Looking forward to seeing this revival! Clean and detailed, and on the road!
Chrysler wagon sitting there 32 years long time big vehicle over head block seats are good condition best mechanic men full detail windows clean inside and out replace tires another awesome video friend bless you
I'd love to see a full rebuild of it. Keep up the good work, guys.
Oh yes, dial that wagon in. Let’s see it on the road, low and headers with side pipes. Definitely a clean up video!
No lake pipes though, and i like how quiet it is! I think you guys should try to strip off whats left of the wood on it, and just go with an all blue wagon! Maybe restore the interior! Best of luck!
I love the wagon it's awesome what a cool car man you could haul a lot of record albums in there the 440 sounds good have a great day
A huge "Mahalo" to you for rescuing a car that was a favourite of mine back in the early 1970s. As a child, of course, I loved station wagons, and Mopars were MY kind of station wagon. In elementary school, two of my teachers had these. If I ever returned to the mainland USA...I'm gonna buy me one of these and drive it! That would be a bucket list item! Aloha!
This video was AWESOME !!!! I love how you took your time and di everything the RIGHT way !!! Good for you. Much respect for you !!!
Wow. A new love. Now to find one.Headers and full length lake pipes after Hollywood mufflers are a great idea.
Can't wait to hear it RUN, let alone see it CLEAN! 😁
I really appreciate the kindness to animals and insects, keep it up! (also car stuff cool)
Love the Farther Son Duo. Make it a daily driver without paint and all that, just make it nice inside and out and good to go..
This is a fun channel to watch, hope your channel grows leaps and bounds. wish that wagon was mine!!!!!
This is a great one! As a 73 Town and Country owner, I would like to see this one get back to roads.
My father had a 1974 Town and Country station wagon with a 440. It was a very durable car and even survived a tornado. We had to put new glass in it but it still ran well. There were not many made and I assume few survived. You have found a rare one. I hope you will restore it completely.
The box to the right of the ballast resistor is the EGR valve timer, not essential to starting or running the car.
Awesome old wagon. Keep the rescues going my friends. God Bless
Wagons rule !!! Do more of them. Love your channel !!
Love that you are actually taking your time and doing things right, like soaking the cylinders and changing the oil before trying to start it.
I was just getting in the automotive biz in 75 . After 46 yrs of spinning wrenches I retired 3 yrs ago. I remember working on those awesome machines
Not ugly at all. What a beast, love it. Repaint and new vinyl wood on the sides, and rock it! A survivor, fer sure.
Congratulations on the start. Saw a man rebuild 68 Nomad wagon. So, it would be cool to what could happen with this one. Thank you for sharing! 💯👊👍
A Chrysler Town and Crunchy? This is awesome! I'm in Love. Sunday driver for sure. The Patina is unbeatable.
It's awesome to see that rescued. My parents had one of those. It was a 1975 and they bought it brand new. It was the same color is the one the 1975 color brochure, some dark shade of yellow. It had the optional 400, and suffered from carburetion problems from day one. I always thought it was a beautiful car, but was disappointed when they sold it, which was in 1979, the year before I started driving. I would love to have it today. That car of yours needs to be restored and driven. Those are so rare. Since 1979 I have only seen one of those (of that generation anyway).
Y’all do such great videos! Love the channel and y’all keep ‘em coming! Would love to see more on the old wagon!
I grew up with wagons, my family had 3 of them over my child hood years...we got rid of the last one just a few years ago. I'm so glad to see people out there rescuing these old wagons, they are a huge part of American History and need to be kept around for the memories at least. Looking forward to seeing it cleaned and driving, please restore this great car and let others see it!!
Awesome Wagon.
With the skirts and the trunk-Door,really cool
This truly is a classic AND it's a station wagon! Patina is right on.. Add the headers and side pipes throw a surfboard up top along with some cool old travel stickers on the side windows. A head-turner for sure and worth some bucks in the end.
YES YOU SHOULD DO MORE WITH IT!!! I’ll come start cleaning it up! Lol
These Were Big but Beautiful at the same time Love Them back in the day 😚😁💕 4:00
Nice Car 🚗 and nice video 📹 👍!!! That was funny that big Barff of rust puke the first one was the best !!! Get those brakes working and fill up those tires
Love the old boat! Show it some love and get it on the road! Good job guys! ❤
Great project! Took my drivers test in a big old boat like that back in 1974! The three point turn part of the test was interesting to say the least. Make it a runner and get the whole family in that for a cruise. Great tow vehicle for your 911 also. 😂
Man that’s awesome! She does sounds better the longer she’s stay’s running! Definitely looking forward to seeing more updates on this one!👌😎👍great job guy’s!
Cool as . I really love the passion you and your Dad have for these old cars.
My dad had a 72 T&C. Great memories. Thanks for sharing. Also thanks for giving a "how to" on the work that you did on some of those parts. I never see those parts that you replaced on the firewall. I hope you fix it as much as you can.
HEY B.B. MY SON MAX AND I LOVE THE OLD WAGONS WHAT A AWSOME GREAT CAR !!! GREAT WORK TO YOU BOTH GETTING IT GOING,,.. WE NEED TO SEE MORE VERY VERY SOON ,, LETS CLEAN IT UP ... WE KNOW THE GAS PRICES IS GOING TO BE HIGH ,, BUT ITS WORTH THE FUN.... THANKS!!!!!!
I love old wagons. Wish they would make a comeback.
Nothing better than a big old station wagon! Thanks!
Another great “will it run” series! My grandfather had a Newport when I was a kid so this brought back some cool memories. Your channel is great because of the wide variety of vehicles that you are saving from the fields and barns. Keep up the awesome work!
This looks like a fun build to watch. You should call it The Brady Bunch wagon! or maybe just Marcia Brady ❤
I once put long tube headers and side pipes on a 71 Bel Aire Wagon.
It was EXCELLENT!
@21:51 YES!!! That is a Chrysler 100 AMP alternator. Most of the time if the car was optioned with an electric rear defroster or could see heavy electrical loads that alternator was MANDATORY!
My brother had one of these back in the day. Metallic Green..looked like the Wagon Queen Family Truckster! Lol! The vehicle was huge!!!
Sidepipes and Cragars. Also, a line lock. Love a big ol' C body wagon!
SO HAPPY YOU GOT HER RUNNING😁
Love it!!! It’s about time you did a MOPAR!! Growing up we had a ‘74. Get her cleaned up and back on the road for sure!!
fantastic keep rolling with this wagon !!!
Rebuild it, full restoration. I love these. Reminds me of my childhood going to Drive ins.
Might have been mine, timing is right. VA DLR sold CLT auction. Used as shop hauler, what a great beastie....
Love this video would be great to see this wagon saved really enjoy your down to earth videos keep having fun John Sydney Australia
Got to love them old mopar's . I like that old style in my book there not ugly. It's funny you all are doing this old Mopar. Sleeperdude is doing one also.
That family sporter is the real deal. Man that thang is cool. You got to get a plaid suit to drive it .
This is cool. You don’t see these old Chrysler Town & Country wagons on the street these days. I would say fix it up, clean up the interior & exterior, & make a daily driver out of it. A good running engine is a great start. Y’all got yerselves a rare gem there.
Love being a guy from Wisconsin listening to a guy from South Carolina call something crusty
You haven’t seen crusty my friend😂
Great videos
Great find! Looking forward to seeing it go down the road! 🏴🏴
The one just to the right of the ballast resistor, is the EGR timer. The one on the inner fender is the voltage regulator. The egr timer isn't needed to run the car. Being a Mopar person myself I have worked on many a 70's Mopar electrical system. My 79 Dodge D150 has pretty much an identical wiring system.
Thats awesome. Would love to own that❤
Shes definatly got those birthing hips on her! good find! still hunting for one of these myself up in western Canada...🍻
Woo hoo! Let's get it done! Hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful week! 💙🙏🏼
Back at ya'
I am looking forward to this (?) two seconds nto the video...
Really enjoy watching your videos
I always liked big Chrysler corporation wagons! That one is a great find. Nice car, it deserves to be restored.
That's a rare engine option for that car! Anyway, I love the idea for long tube headers with side exiting exhaust. Make it straight piped while you're at it!
you and your dad have a great relationship, a true team. Besides being very knowlegeable with mechanics, you also teach your viewers a lot about life, and what is important.

Definitely get it driving! I would clean it up and leave the patina! Best of luck with it!
A love shack! Glad you got 'er going, runs really good after being dormant over 30 years. Reminds me of my dad's 1974 NYer.
Remember seeing one of these in Avocado Gold with “wood” paneling. It was owned by a hard-working couple, who, with their three children would mow yards in the neighborhood. They would hook up a small trailer for some of their equipment. As if the wagon wasn’t already long enough! St. Petersburg Florida, circa 1987.
Hope to see it come back all the way.
Love those old wagons for some reason. Tune that thing up and put flames on the sides!
