We simply cannot have enough C-body content. Period.
During this rough period of losing my mom really the only happiness i got right now is coldwarmotors videos thank you scott cheers buddy
Man I'm sorry to hear that, I lost my mum last March, and I really understand what it's like. All I can say is keep plugging through and it will get better. Hope your ok.
Yep, hang in there. It does get better. Remember the good times.
Hang in there buddy
That 72 was new the year I got married. I was also working at a Chrysler Plymouth Dealer at the time. Sadly my wife of 50 years passed away a year ago. She was also a employee of the dealership when we met.
Hard not to love a big wagon
Scott- that wagon will be a great restoration series. HAPPY 2024.
Thank goodness Scott dropped a video and salvaged my Thursday evening-even if it’s only a discussion and walk about. Cheers!
I know, saves my mid week crappy weather, the world sucks depression that exists the other 5 days of the week. Saturdays are the best. 1 hour of old car coolness Canadian style.
When I’m down - especially in the winter, these videos really cheer me up too.
Frankers does side eye just like Chihuahua Henry.
I did not grow up with any wagons at all in my family (Dad was a two-door hardtop man). But wish I did... Love the hidden headlights on that one!
Looking forward to seeing the Sport Suburban come to life again!

Is that an SM parts car lurking behind the wagon?
I grew up in 60s and 70s Mopar wagons, you triggered a bunch of flashbacks and suppressed muscle memory with this clip. Ours were always 3 row jobs because there were 6 kids. My brother and I always manned the tailgun, we got car sick so often my Dad wouldn't even stop, just slow down and get on the shoulder(Texas shoulders are a whole lane unto themselves), lower the window and one or both of us would hang out the back and hurl. Good times
I know where there are a couple early 70s C-body wagons that didn't get derby-ed, if you need stuff that you can afford to ship from Virginia, let me know, I'll look around. They'll probably be free or dang near it
The lift was a great gift.
Scott, restoring that car would take a fully-staffed workshop a solid year.
I was a mechanic in the seventies at a Chrysler dealer. This particular body issue was mostly wind noise at the doors. The window frames on the sedans and wagons. The hardtops were worse, with sealing the glass to weatherstrips. Water leaks and again wind noise. 1974 Was a major redesign on the weather strips and how they attached to the body. Unfortunately, the big cars were gone by 1979.
my mom drove one exactly like this one in Sunfire Yellow - I remember the wind noise you speak of - it was like a whistling sound - always thought it was the rear air deflector - we traded a 1970 Sport Suburban (we had 4 Sport Suburbans over the years from 1968 to 1975 - I bought one with dual air conditioning years later
Looking forward to the Wagon.
If anyone else told me they were going to rehab that Fury wagon I wouldn't believe them. But I'm sure you can and will if you say it.
That is a car worth saving. It is unique. That color combination is quite different. Nothing screams 1972 like combining gold and green. It's a massive job for a massive car. Thanks for the update on it. Cheers!
@MaxGiganteum Yes. Let's not forget the burnt orange, avocado, and coffee. The plaid bell bottom pants and leisure suits were quite the thing. As a child of that decade, I was subjected to Garanimals .
It needs a Surfboard on that roof rack, and if you never see the sea it will be funnier.
I'm reminded of a joke from the 1970s. Two guys get home with their new woodgrain station wagon and the neighbor hears violent noises from the garage, followed by the statement "I think it looked better _in_ the crate." (I heard two versions, both of which attributed different nationalities to the dumb guys.)
Frankers would love to ride in that beauty! Hope you fix it up!
Looking forward to this ,
Plymouth Fury ,
Sports Suburban ❤
Wagon Project 🙏
I didn't realize how extensive
The damage was
These big wagons were so common in our youth. But they were usually run pretty hard by families and then scrapped because nobody wanted them when they were 8-15 years old. Fast forward 25 more years and now they're very rare and fondly remembered!
Short or long it's always appreciated
Well, I see the wagon was originally sold at Auto Clearing right here in Saskatoon, that's pretty cool. A small useless fact, the original Auto Clearing building in downtown Saskatoon, where this car was sold, is still standing and is now the Courthouse since about 1982 or so.
Wishing you all a happy new year from a grey Sweden. Thanks for this year, we're looking forward to another with you 🔧🙂✨
Chris & Saxo
my mother drove one exactly like this one - Sunfire Yellow/black vinyl interior (the sales brochure car) optioned almost the same - it had the Fury “Top Hat” option package which included a passenger side outside rear view mirror we traded a 70 Sport Suburban with a 383 which I liked better but my grandfather traded 4 cars every two years - these wagons were very popular here in Texas - many were equipped with dual air conditioning sure enjoy your videos (fell in love with your gold Newport (Royal ?) long ago - I bought one of these wagons several years ago and collected a few parts I’d be happy to send you - an NOS tailgate panel with woodgrain trim - it’s in my garage somewhere I’ll start looking for it
I don't remember ever seeing a wagon with the hideaway headlights, that's very cool. I think it needs a 440 under the hood, though. 👺
So cool that I have a 'soft spot' for almost every car you highlight. Circa 1975 several of us High School buddies borrowed one guy's mom's Chrysler Town and Country woody wagon similar vintage, with the 440 cu in for an epic camping trip to upstate New York. Several months later, his sister smoked the motor, and I volunteered to fix the engine if they supplied the parts. We rented an engine hoist and pulled the very stinky, burnt engine out and put it upright in a car tire in their driveway. I pulled the head, and the cylinders and combustion chambers were horrifically thickly coked-up, and one piston top was gravel...there was no way this could have been rebuilt in that driveway. That engine sat in that tire in that driveway for years😣. Anyway, I am so glad your Newport drivetrain will get a new life under that wagon. That Newport makes all the correct vintage Chrysler music 🎶
I'm looking forward to this project getting underway.
Man someone here in Pennsylvania had one of these cars for sale last summer in the exact same color and woodgrain except with a brown interior.... and it was like day one MINT. They wanted 16k for it. It was only up for sale for a day and it disappeared.
Bring it on...😊
Yeah, that ‘72 Fury hidden headlight grille really makes the car. Soooo cool! And thank goodness it’s got a CB radio!
Looking forward to all your projects too all the great Thursdays and Saturdays the laughs and great music and the agents 😊
I noticed as the video started I punched 201 in thumbs up by the time the video ended the number was at 440 i was inpressed
This is a car I might see any day on the Gulf Coast.
That Wagon will be a great project, looking forward to it!
Yes I definitely think the station wagon needs some LOVE ❤️
This would look wicked with the super bee 🐝 graphics ❤
You are obviously more optimistic about your lifespan than I am... Cheers from the shed
Thank you for the video Scott
Burban plan is cool
Im really looking forward to all your upcoming projects, the wagon is unspeakably cool man, so common once and now almost extinct!
Scott, when Frankers is more interested in possible squirrels than smiling for the camera we realize that she's a true soul who has evolved past any desire for stardom! Once a queen there's no higher calling! I've owned several wagons, 2 Chevys, a Hillman, IH Travelall and a Dodge and found their utility to be unsurpassed! Towing, hauling, emergency shelter, camper, and people mover, they cover the bases. Looking forward to the resto! See you Saturday! Cheers!
That appears to be an SBE CB radio. If its the AM/SSB version, which would be the Sidebander II, thats even better but even if its the straight AM they are really nice radios.
The Gran Coupe/ Gran Sedan of wagons.
I drove a 72 Sport Fury back in highschool 79/83
Can't hardly wait !
That wagon is a real beauty. As you say - one gets taken in by the faded matching paint and the excellent body trim on the beast and easily overlooks the fact that the old tin worm has been munching on the old girl for a number of years. She's not quite a Greasy Flip, but she doesn't need leaving parked up until she is, so I can see your predicament!
Dean: "Motor doesn't run, but you can fix that. Bit of rust here and there, but its not totally gone. Interior's pretty nice - I mean, the mice LOVE it...and so will you. Look, it has a dashboard and all the seats are there. All the knobs work and the sunvisors are great - I mean, if you had a couple of buddies to push it, you'd get the feel for how the old girl goes down the road."
Scott: "Yeah, until you tried to stop it and found out the brake pedal goes to the floor..."
Dean (without skipping a beat): "Well maybe, but you can fix that - in fact I'll throw in the parts from this Newport over here. In fact I'll throw the whole car in as part of the deal and you will have plenty of spares!"
Scott (sounding very unenthused): "Great....what a a bargain... So I'll have TWO rust-buckets on my lawn instead of one..."
Dean: "Hey - it means less lawn to mow and the Newport has a real good driveline, so just swap the bodies over-r-r-r........and you're there. It will be going down the road in no time"
Scott: "Yeah - after another 150 hours or so of cleaning the frame and driveline, evicting the mice and putting the metal back where its missing on the bodywork"
Dean: "Yeah - but your talking a hobby. Something to do in your spare time and it would be worth it, man. You'll see. "
Let's hope it NEVER comes to that, eh? LOL! Nah - I bet you'll have it indoors in around a year.....probably around the end of next summer (your time) Oooooooooh. Just thought - what are you going to do for a winter beater next year if the Newport is parked up and in the process of becoming an EX-port? Does the Frazer have a heater?!
Anyway, hope you had a laugh or two. Love the idea of seeing that Fury wagon project soon...ish....but also like the other ones you have on the go as well. Looking forward to seeing how you did on the rear door too - and how much of a faff it was from the point of view of conversion from one style to the other. All the best
Thanks for the tour
Should be a good Build Scott it’s Definitely in good shape to start with
My first car was a wagon. Looking forward to seeing it.
Good looking station wagon for sure. Have a great 2024!
That year was the year I graduated High School. Will be looking forward to seeing this project done. Thanks for Sharing!
💯👍👊
I share your enthusiasm for that wagon helluva good looking automobile Sir.
You know Scott I’ve been hanging around the channel for years now. Since 2010 in fact. Jeeze time goes by. I feel like I’ve met a whole bunch of friends. Thank you for sharing this part of your life. It’s been a blast! Happy new year!
Family Truckster, needs some love. Good stuff, finally a lift for the junkyard!! Woo hoo! Stay dirty 👍
Hurry up and do that Chrysler!!! I want to still be alive when you finish it!😅
What a beautiful car. My family bought a 71 sport suburban new.
My first job out of high school was driving a cab in Tallahassee FL. We had several 72 Furys in our fleet.
Very fond memories.
Thank you for putting on the best show on UA-cam! That Fury wagon is gonna be unspeakably cool when it's all done. I was glad to hear you want to do a full-on proper resto on it because it'll look phenomenal! See you guys Saturday.
It sounds like Scott will make her absolutely stock in appearance. I admit last night I envisioned the wagon in a GREAT set of 70's vintage U.S. or ET slot mags...we all know Dean is the king of scrubbing and polishing, I bet Dean and a 6-pack could make some old mags look stunning!
@@mysterj1 I could see that looking right. Or something like Cragar 5 spokes. For sure, Scott knows better than to put on some stupid 20" rims with elastic bands for tyres! And yes, Dean is the man for wheel refurbishment so that's no problem. But whichever way Scott plays it, new rims or stock steels with hubcaps (at least the full set are there), you just know that car will eventually become a serious looker!
We need to get you a big Quonset for some dry storage for projects. Would also be nice for the hoist too.
Love all the old wagons. 😁👌
I never knew there was a wagon like that with hideaway headlights before you picked up that car. Must be pretty rare. I'm happy for you that you found one since it was on your list. 👍
Kinda odd when you're already talking maybe two years out for the '72 Fury wagon, but I appreciate the look-see of the entire car. If I understood you correctly, you are going to use the Newport 400 drive train in it? Won't be a streak if lightning, but it'll still get down the road at a good clip. What caught my eye when you showed the dashboard was the 23 channel SBE Sidebander 2 CB radio! I have one of those in my vintage cb radio collection. Take it easy!
Brings me back to days in the 70's working with my father in his body shop. He would cringe anytime he saw a car like this pull into the shop.
Anytime you work on a Mopar, I'm excited! Pop was a Plymouth man.
Yay...
I've never seen those hide away headlights on a furry before down here in New England or throughout my travels in the lower 48 ish states I've been to and I was born in 67. My buddy had a 71-2 furry wagon but no hidden lights, so she's a pretty rare girl IMHO, great score and I wish I could help you sort it out. Oh well. I'm hungry but I'm feeding the algorithm first!
Man those nasty fuckin mice with their acid piss has destroyed more beautiful cars than salted roads and peanuts probably, the little fux!
Thanks again guys!
ABSOLUTELY THEEE MOST important part of easy restoration, ALL OF THE TRIM COMPLETE AND PRESENT!
Especially when the restoration candidate is not one that reproduction parts are readily available.
So many parts now are "unobtanium". Many many many junkyards crush reasonably decent bodies just to get the recycle $$$.
I think every vehicle should go to a disassembly factory in order to save at least 10 assemblies for each vehicle.
I know in the UK this is happening. I hope they bring this business talent to the USA.
Beautifully original station wagon. But man there’s a lot of cancer to work on. I know it comes with the territory but if anyone can sort it out it’s you Scott! 💯👌
Myles has good practice with the rot above the door openings. Absolutely no repair panels available to keep it fun .Not that they would be made to your likings.
Scott, I'm glad you got away for Christmas. I'm looking forward to the Plymouth Suburban Wagon build. What a cool car.😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have always liked station wagons. One of the reasons I bought a Dodge Journey. I know it’s new and common, but it’s paid for and black. Good enough for me.
Rebuilt my first engine out of a suburban wagon when I was 9 years old... helping the old man down the street and being a garage rat handing him wrenches, sweeping the floors and going home a greasy mess... lol..thanks for the videos..and have a great day Scott..
That Suburban sports wagon is a car of the gods!! Yes, PLEASE restore it!!
Looking forward to seeing what’s involved in converting a sedan door into a hardtop.
Late father. Had. 70. Polara wagon. In 73. Loved. That. Wagon
It couldn't be in better place. You are probably the only person who would bother. Lucky car.
That flip up headlights long roof is really rare. Here's an idea ... Sink a large pipe in the ground and construct a large lazy susan on top of it with a slow rotating motor and bolt the long roof to it ! Just think of the twinkling light as it slowly rotates in the moonlight and/or sunlight ! Cheers Man ! 🍻👊😎🤙🍻
I don't know why, but I have become extremely fond of that '59 Buick. I 'm looking forward to see some progress with that!
Thumbs up for the 72 Fury wagon. Looking forward to that project.
Thanks for the update! That 72 fuselage body wagon is really a nice one. It will be good to see when its turn for being the star of the show comes around. And between being able to splice the 60 Dar and 60 Fury together, and now turning a sedan rear door into a hardtop rear door - 3 cheers to the manufacturers for different looking body parts sharing common components.
My Fury had rust in the lower front fenders and lower rear quarters too. Otherwise it was solid. The rockers and floors were pristine which for a car that spent its entire life on the prairies is pretty remarkable.
That car is a beast. Love it.
what a wonderful looking vehicle
Way back when I was in high school my drivers education car was a new 1972 Sport Fury courtesy of the old Parkway Chrysler Plymouth that used to be in Peoria Illinois. It had a 440 and I remember it would really move when you accelerated onto the expressway, a heck of a lot better then my dad's 1969 Chevy Impala with a 327 two barrel.
Great that you save without customizing. See ya Saturday.
SBE Sidebander II !!!
Thanks for the update Scott!! Lots of fun stuff coming-OH BOY!!!!
Happy New year to you and all the Buds!! Rich
GREAT PROJECT!... but then again I am biased... I learned to drive in 1974 on my parents 1973, 9 passenger Plymouth Suburban wagon. Same color exterior (without the wood) same basic interior except ours was gold. It did not have that great grill on the 72 but still a great car. My Dad ordered the trailer towing package as well to pull our 1963, 16ft Glasspar Citation which it did a great job towing that boat and trailer!
you and the crew need to take a road trip in that wagon to a place called rust free California that would be a hoot to see
This is THE Video I have been waiting on. Thanks so much, Scott . Cheers 🍻 buddy ! Happy New Year to you, Frankers, Tom, and All Agent provocateurs .
Scott, you really don't know how good you are. The work you put out is Just As Good as any of the best auto body shops out there. Love watching every Coldwarmotors video. You all make it so enjoyable to watch because of how you all get along helping each other. Can't wait for the Station wagon restoration to begin. Keep up the good work.
I hope Santa was good to you and Frankers. I really like the Sport Suburban Wagon…although it’s an ambitious project and no doubt is certainly going to be labour intensive…it sure is a cool machine. The average Joe could not afford to pay someone to save that old girl…only someone with your skills could save it. It’s going to look amazing when you are done. So looking forward to the build series when you decide it’s time has come. You should post a link for those who want to donate to a fund to save the Suburban.
Awesome wagon hope you and frankers had a good Christmas and have a happy new year
Wow i love this show..thank you to all..there is laughs and things to learn.cheers
Happy new year to everyone 🎉🎊🤪
good to see real friends helping out to preserve..well done deane and you❤
I love the old Plymouth waggons my grandmother and grandfather had a 1972 Plymouth satellite station waggon when I was younger. If I remember correctly, had a 318 with a three on the tree, and it was an olive green.
I can't wait to see the wagon under construction Scott! I hope you and the agents (Frankers too of course) have a great New Year. We don't have any snow here either....
Very nice looking wagon ,Scott .cant wait to see you start on it ..
That wagon is gonna be real sweet when it's done. The green interior reminds me of my '71 Satellite wagon years ago. Different dash I think but I swear the rest of the interior (especially the colour!) is the same.
