And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

1968 Plymouth Sport Suburban. Bet you could get one for a good price.
When I was working in NJ, one of my housemates and I went in together and bought a '67 Fury III, 383, station wagon since we both had sports cars. It was a great hauler and I moved in it twice. Great for hauling both a washer and dryer at the same time. I bought him out when the gang broke up and I moved back to Georgia. By then it was far gone with NJ rust and I sold it for basically nothing.
I had an uncle that had the Fury Station Wagon with a 383. He changed out the rear to a 4:10 limited slip so he could pull a camper. That car was built like a tank and unless it had 300 to 400 pounds in the back end it was a stiff bumpy ride.
Outlaw Child car safety seats and bring back station wagons and bring back big families!
We show that laws mandating use of child car safety seats significantly reduce birth rates, as many cars cannot fit three child seats in the back seat. Women with two children younger than their state’s age mandate have a lower annual birth probability of .73 percentage points. This effect is limited to births of third children, households with access to a car, and households with a male present, where both front seats are likely to be occupied. We estimate that these laws prevented fatalities of 57 children in car crashes in 2017 but reduced total births by 8,000 that year and have decreased the total by 145,000 since 1980.
I'd settle for a 383/727 no AC car. Also, '68 Mopars had the best side marker lights ever. That or the 3 section rectangular recessed '71 B body SM lights.
Slant 6 or 318?
ReplyDeleteEither choice was solid.

ReplyDeleteget a whole little league team in there, and all their stuff
ReplyDeleteReminds me an awful lot of the Family Queen Truckster in metallic pea. But that’s just me, I guess.

Deletegood deal on this, next week odd/even gas rationing....8mpg like a army truck with AM radio. I was in that car getting gas what a bummer.
DeleteLove those roof-rack bumper steps and grab handles. The design man was thinking.
ReplyDeleteFirst year for mandated side marker lights.
ReplyDeleteParty Barge...
ReplyDeleteVista Cruiser from the 70s show
DeleteWe had a 1967 Dodge Polara wagon. Similar design.
ReplyDeleteIf you mentioned that whanged-up front bumper, you could get it for an even better price.
ReplyDeleteWhen cars were useful and not nearly identical useless copycat SUVs
ReplyDeleteIf it's an EV I'll take it.
ReplyDeleteSold mine in '76 for $150, wasn't a woody though.

So they're working as designed then.
DeleteI see them on Craig's List for $14,900...
ReplyDeleteSame color as my Kenmore fridge of similar vintage.
