Authentic 1970s moment: a kid bangs their head and the grown ups laugh. 😂
Those kids are lucky to experience the backwards third row station wagon seat! Great job!
Hate to tell everyone this... but you just haven't lived until you have taken that last seat in these big old boats. Completely unexpected experience that's just so dang enjoyable.
There’s nothing like it! 😊
Still remember sitting back there so dang kool we had it good back in the 70s n 80s lol
Love the wagon. I fixed up a 77 Malibu Classuc Wagon
I got a 62 Mercury Monterey 4 door you need to buy up here in Walhalla and fix up. It sat in field for years before I got it. It is a z code 390 car. Its from Georgia. Interior will surprise you. Ive never tried to get it running. Ill take $1,200 for it.
@@BudgetBuildz another good video....and it keeps the kids from becoming another sad statistic.....A HONDA OWNER!!!!
here's some advice...
You could go to an upholstery shop and find that blue vinyl....just follow the glitter or ask look for the assistant named Jolene...
Second you could fix that rear hatch yourself and learn something fab skills..
And keep the whites and the caps they look better
We had a 78 Dodge Monaco wagon in silver with woodgrain when I was a kid. Little bit newer than this boat but still of the boat theme. Bright red interior, rear facing seat etc.
I like the blue slab sides with the Cragers. Looks like the "sports package" option.
She looks sleek without the wood! That could be a really nice cruising wagon with a little extra TLC.
true,,i like it too.
It’s really grown on me since pulling the wood grain off!! I think it will be soon 😊
@@BudgetBuildz Would it be selfish of me to want to see this one get painted? She's a basically straight car that would really look nice.
I love old MOPARS! Unfortunately they're not going for a good price like they used to... Paint it factory blue, keep or replace the strips but leave off the wood grain. You can always get it replaced later. I had a '74 Plymouth Duster with the 225 slant six, I paid $350 for it. I wish I had kept it 😢
Enjoy your children, they grow fast. Before you know it you’re being called grandpa.
Lol, i m probably almost as old as his father (i m 42) and my 4 kids are 7yo to 3 month old… If you pass generations as fast as this family for sure. Quite crazy to think that in his late 30s this “pops” became a grand dad
So true, then show them this video in 30 years.
Forever memories.
@@augustinfyeah I'm 43 with 11, 9, 6 &4 years olds couldn't imagine having a 20 something year old spawn (no longer a kid)
Yes we started early, and we are loving every minute of being their grandparents.
Yes they do and now been a grandpa for almost 5years!!! Lol.😂😎👍👍
It is so much fun watching 3 generations of your family all working together on this project.
Really glad you enjoyed! We all had a great time together 😊
You and your dad are the real deal as far as back yard budget builders. The kids put a smile on my face. My youngest grand child is nearly 13. They grow so fast and life passes in a flash. I press "like" before I watch your latest vlog.
Big smile when I really needed one.
Seeing your children sitting in the back row seating brings back so many childhood memories for me. Thank you for this video.
I can smell the fumes from here! :)
I grew up with giant station wagons like this. You did a great job bringing her back to life. I would stay with the blue color side. It looks good without the wood grain paint. It's nice to see a happy family doing stuff together. You are building great memories.
The 60s wagons look a lot better than the Brady Bunch 70s wagon's, beats the hell out of ugly SUVs
Is there anything more wholesome than kids washing a car decades older than them? I don't think so! Your family knocked this wagon out of the park. Having owned 2 full sized wagons with the rear facing 3rd seat, I need one more before I go😁
yup we've had a couple of the Ford flavor, couldn't afford the Chrysler's, made a few trips to A&W for root beers
I think the paint looks awesome that way! It's in great shape where the faux wood was removed, and it's unique this way.
Totally agree
Tell your dad not to be so camera shy! We love him just as much as we love you! It's so awesome your able to make a living with your dad doing what y'all love! Keep up the great work both of ya!
He’s a great guy.
@@Tenkaichibudokai22 I can tell! He did a hell of a job raising his son!
@@JimiMarvin it shows he did it with great values. It's a beautiful family.
I actually prefer dad this way. Don't ever change dad. Be mysterious.
@@mazyata9958 what if he’s a James Dean type of guy? Mysterious, yet he’s able to get all the attention.
Me personally if I was doing this car rebuild I would put wood grain back on. I don't know whenever you think of a station wagon you always think of a blue car with wood grain on the side of it. So I say put wood grain on it. I like how your kids were having fun riding in it and washing it.
the color was called Astral Blue Metallic - this wagon appears to have every option including front cornering lights (lower front section of front fenders) chrome tailgate assist handles, electric rear window defroster, the 76 Town & Country was one of the most expensive wagons available then - regarding the tailgate - many parts are interchangeable with the 1974-1977 Chrysler, Plymouth or Dodge C Body wagons
They had a "Cadet Blue" as well looked very similar to this color
@@miked19831988 interesting - Cadet Blue is Code B3, Astral Blue is Code B2 - check the fender tag under the hood - the color codes are embossed there too
Those back tailgate were famous for the bottoms to rot because the drain holes in the gate would fill with dirt and leaves and the rain water would fill the gate up and rot the bottom right out of it. If someone would of took the back apart and clean the bottom of it and cleared the drain holes it would still be in great shape.
You guys are doing it RIGHT!! With the old wood grain removed, that two-tone blue & the wheels from the Comet look awesome!! Lovin it. 😁👍🏻👍🏻
I'm 68 and love a big station wagon. Comfortable, seats lots of peeps, carry stuff, ac, bench seat.... oh boy!
As the second to the youngest of seven kids, I saw the 1970s from the back window of a 1972 Chrysler Cornet with the same seating, engine and 4 barrel carb. My mom was heavy on the accelerator and would do rolling burnouts at 35 mph! It had a lemon of a transmission, though. Always in the shop - it ended up being the kids' Field Car for bombing around the farm. Great memories.
Your family is so sweet love it when the little one's can hang out with Dad and Pop POP 😁😁😁💟💟💟
Them Younghans will never forget this my fondest childhood memories were doing stuff like this with my dad and my grandpa God rest their souls. You’re a great Dad.
I’m number 5 of ten kids and I practically grew up in one of these big wagons. Brings back a ton of memories. A true survivor.
gran Torino in the driveway across the street was the country Squire big families in the neighborhood !! I enjoy the channel. it comes out that you enjoy what you’re doing !!even better with family. !!!
#8 of ten and we road in the back of a station wagon with no seatbelts or even seats for long trips. Mom would just put a blanket in the back and that's how we rolled.
What a car! It looks a tiny bit underdressed without woodgrain, but that's just fine. You had to see what all was under that Di-Noc just to be certain. The times you have with the kids are the most precious things of all. They'll never forget all the fun you had together, and hey'll cherish these memories. Mahalo for picking one of my favourite models of car EVER, and I hope to see more of your T&C adventures. Aloha!
the blue sides look pretty dope. the cragers don't look that bad either. i'd love to find a big wagon like this.
Great job getting the wagon up and running. I loved the "tail gunner" rear seat in those old boats. I noticed the remnants of a Shaw AFB base sticker on the front bumper. I was stationed at Shaw in the late 60s (one of my least favorite assignments). There used to be a bar walking distance just outside a back gate on highway 441. A buddy of mine was walking home towards the gate late one night when a police car pulls up next to him lights flashing, siren, the whole works. My friends first response to the officer was, “How fast was I going?” The cop was not amused and gave him a ticket for walking on the wrong side of the street! Welcome to the Sumpter.
That day is what memories are all about
Absolutely love seeing you share projects with family. The kids Absolutely love it and they're so cute. You are blessed. Take Care
Removing that brown crap just made it real. Nice work!
The slick sides and patina top with the old school rims looks great
With electric windows won't slide properly, first make sure the seperate sections of the track are in alignment or the windows will jam. Next clean the tracks as much as possible, then spray in the track with silicone. Your windows should then slide freely.
love the family working together, this you will look back as one of the best times of ones life
this car is just missing a tree on the roof with the roots still attached. Those kids love that back seat. it is fun watching them get excited about old cars. Great channel!
What a great ol' boat.
Keep the sides body color and buff the rest.
Brings back memories of riding in Dad's '67 Ford Country Sedan wagon.
Perfect family ride...
Great helpers with real enthusiasm
That blue on blue just fits that car!😎👍💗
This so so cool seeing the kids enjoy working on a project with their dad.
Every single rescue you do is just one home run after another!!! This station wagon is just AWESOME! LOVE that blue paint on the side looking sooo good. That said, I know that the wood grain on the flanks would look just as awesome - strictly up to you and the family. Especially intrigued to see what you are gonna do with the tailgate - all that metal-stitching is gonna be a chore, but seeing what you and your Dad fab up should be very interesting. I also look forward to your DIY door panels, as well as one of your patented deep-cleaning montages on that interior. Seriously, anyone who can even pick ONE of your projects from the last several years, and have the gall to call it a dud just needs to go away. Sooo much winning - looking forward to part three of this gorgeous behemoth! Cheers to all!!!
So glad you rescued this classic station wagon. Those Chrysler Town & Country wagons was the size of a Mississippi River barge. That was the car Michael and Carol Brady used on The Brady Bunch. I noticed that the car has an AM/FM stereo radio with 8- track player, electric rear window defroster, vent windows and many options. Those vent windows became optional in 1971 for the full-size Dodge, Chrysler, and Plymouth sedans and wagons.
I remember when I was a kid my Dad bought this 67 Chevrolet Caprice Estate wagon with the fake woodgrain sides, same idea as your Chrysler. It only had a 327, but we could fit our whole family, Mum Dad and 3 kids under 12 in the front bench seat. Good times...
Since you pulled off that horrible brown stuff from the sides the car looks really great. So personally I would leave it as is and FORGET about making it a woody. PS your kids are great. Hope the little one did not hurt her head.
I agree, Just focus on mechanicals. New matching set of wheels and call it good.
Love that old barge in the 2-tone paint. Do the steelies in white with trim rings and small centers. That would be sharp on that wagon.
Dude that folding tailgate door thing is pretty freaking amazing for technology back in the '70s!!!!
Thank both of you for letting the kido's help. Family time is so very important. At 56 years old and working 16 to 18 hr days for better part of 30 years. Those times are priceless. God Bless !
I’m jealous that you and your dad work together! I lost mine back in 2019, he was 93, I was 63! He did get to be part of my kids life! This relationship with your dad is why I follow you! You and your kids are so blessed!
I'm 56 years old now and I have a childhood friend whose dad worked at the Ford Claycomo plant in KCMO. Her family had a big old boat of a station wagon and I remember riding in the rear facing seats with when I stayed over. And theirs was also blue too. I couldn't tell what kind of station wagon it was but I do remember the rear facing seats. We made faces at the vehicles behind us at stoplights.
LOVE the two-tone blue color with the mags you borrowed from the Comet. It goes together. No wood grain, please. Too cheesy!
I love seeing you work with your father. Makes me miss mine even more.
They will never make cars like that again, the feel of driving one of those cars down the road and on the highway is awesome, I'm 60 years old and miss driving these type cars ,the power the sound truly amazing!
You had the best clean up crew a dad could ask for. Great job learning them up right. No vinyl wood grain, please. Like the color.
I like the painted sides. Looks like the kids really enjoyed it
When u took off that old wood grain it really makes this car pop. So I would definitely leave it the way it is. As for that back tailgate I would figure out a way to patch the inside. Then put some good old patina juice on there and those wheels really make it look great. I would say just a little more work into it and it's perfect. I am really jealous that this big beautiful old boat is not in my driveway. I can't wait to see more of this car in the future!!!
A '74 Newport and a '77 white Civic in the yard. Shades of my childhood.
The blue paint looks awesome. I would leave it as it is, especially with the wheels. Kind of like a hot wheels car. Looks like a lot of fun to drive.
I am allways amazed at how you get these old cars running. I am in aw of you and your father
Absolutley excellent experiences for the kids. These are the things they will remember forever ! Spending time with dad doing projects. Awesome !
Your kids are so cute! Such a great dad to include them in this project. Amazing old Chrysler wagon, those cars were monsters! 😊 I like the two tone look with the wood grain peeled off. Great job, really fun to watch!
My stepdad had that exact car back in 77. His was maroon color, what a flashback. Fond memories.
That was fun. Keep the paint sides, they look awesome!
Wagon+wood grain = awesomeness!!!!
Big third seat wagons have always been my favorite! No woodies! Keep the blue! Make it nice man!
I’m liking the wagon, rare I see it but that’s an excellent design, top work too. Keep the original paint on the sides suits it and it’s in good condition👍🏻
I really love your dad and how you respect him and how ur did is down to earth and that's why you are amazing you become and how you treat your kids. Your and mom they did very good job and l proud of them.
OMG. You're a great dad. I love how you got your kids to help out and you all had a great time. Just a happy family (they'll stay that way especially if you keep them off the internet). They'll have these memories for a long time. I think you should keep this car, but first, pull the engine and give it a complete one over - bearings rings, etc. You could also inspect the wear on these items. When you put it back, I would see if you could swap out the carburetor for a fuel-injected system. Then you'll have a reliable daily runner. That's my two cents.
I remember that a number of companies offered station wagons with a rear-facing third row, and kids loved being back there, miles away from their parents.
Great job!! Guys the wagon looks great. Thank you so much for saving that boat, I remember as a kid I use to fight with my brothers, just to sit in the back. I actually had a flashback, when your daughter hit her head. My father made a quick right turn, and I hit my head too. Thanks for the memories, and enjoy the boat…lol it’s a wonderful wagon. Take care👍👍👍
I guess you need a helmet to ride back there.
I love this beast. Brings back memories of long distance road trips when I was a kid. Would love to have a wagon!
So cute and funny "This is fun, Right Papa??" LOL. Kids just trying to figure out whats what in life. Gotta love them! Those Mags look AWESOME!! I've always liked nice wide old school Mags on big wagons!! Great!
Love that wagon, great work as always!!!
Thank you!! 😊
Forget the wood grain siding. I would say fix the tailgate, and repaint the bad paint while preserving the original paint that was under the wood grain. Those rims are perfect for that car. I like it
One of a kind paint job with the wood grain peeled off. Looks good -
Great video, but I have one question what are you going to do with your old for van?
Sort the alternator, brakes and fuel tank/lines and I would definitely put the wood grain back in as it is the wood that defines the station wagon! Enjoying this one a lot.
Wow the paint under the wood grain is nice
Great to see the family - moments you can never get back! I remember when wagons like this were new and SUV"s were not infecting our highways with their bloated and overpriced junk. I always liked those big Chrysler wagons. While my favorite wagon is a 1972 Ford LTD Country Squire, these were worth buying. I had a chance to work with my brother in law on a 1986 Lincoln Town Car that had been parked near the beach. None of the windows worked -after 1 can for each door of WD40, we had the windows working flawlessly. After vacuuming and spraying the moving parts and tracks, the windows came to life. Sometimes you just have to do like you did and be patient and work the systems back into shape.
I love that original blue paint under the fake woodgrain! There is enough steel in that American iron to make 5 new Toyoduh Corollas! That thing runs amazing considering its history. Great job! Actually that wagon would look awesome with a darker color uppers and lowers and that light blue replacing the woodgrain. That could be a great tribute to American iron - not a restoration, but a re-invention!
I've always been a Ford guy at heart (but I've had most flavors) and gotta say corollas are amazing cars, had 'em but I'm a big block guy...
GLORIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL MACHINE!!!
SO GLAD IT GETS TO CONTINUE TO LIVE!!!
This is awesome 32 year's really enjoy seeing old mopars come back from the grave great work
You are making memoirs they will tell there kid's about some day 💟💟💟💟
Love the video with the kids having fun. I would leave the color in the middle as it is and paint the upper and lower darker blue.
WHAT FUN! EVEN GOT THE KIDS INVOLVED ON THIS PROJECT.
Nice seeing an old full size being given a new life!
The wheels, white letters, and solid color make it. Very cool ride.
A fun video ! - the kids were essential for the road test - a family motor to enjoy. It’s certainly a notable vehicle from the mundane RV’s we have these days. It will look fantastic in the metallic blue only I think. In one colour you see the whole size of it. As an accessory John Candy would have been the perfect character to drive it, we miss his comedy. All the best, great video..❤
Wow! That's fun and with children. ❤ Woodgrain & hubcaps
I do like the almost 2-tone, dark blue/light blue paint scheme. Great video, glad the kids enjoyed it.
Mr. B. Here ! I think it look’s better with out wood grain! 👍👍👍👍
Love you guys! My dad and I are huge fans! Big high five all the way from Costa Rica! 🖐🖐🖐
That thing is really cool! Hard to find good old station wagons like these. That thing is actually in pretty good shape.
this was the life in the 80s and for some of us in the 90s too, riding in the back of a wagon was just awesome even better if the back windows came down. Always had that weird feeling facing the rear driving forward as a kid.
Do I like the wheels on it? Of course. The only thing I don’t like is it’s not parked in my driveway, and that’s coming from someone that’s not big into Chryslers! Great work bringing that one back to life!
Man, if that car aint just the COOLEST cruiser! Triple-blue, BIG BLOCK MOPAR WAGON! Just ticks all the right boxes for me! I love the no wood grain look with those 5 spoke wheels too, just got the right look! Great video man!
Now its all town no country. Looks so much better
It was great seeing the kids enjoy your hobby. I like the two tone blue.
Car looks beautiful man definitely keep it going can’t wait to see more
the coveted rear facing seat from my childhood, love it!
Great to see this rig on the road again and I can't believe how good the paint is under that vinyl! Can't wait for the next one. All the best from across the pond!
Love these old wagons keep it up
Love it! I grew up with station wagons with the extra rear seat so that my brother and sister and I wouldn’t fight. Amazing what some elbow grease can do for these cars you are rescuing. You guys are lucky that they don’t need to use salt on your roads, because brake fittings rarely come apart without a fight up in Canada and the brake lines would be toast. Keep up the excellent work and enthusiasm. Great seeing your kids enjoying working with you and their grandpa!
Definitely keep the painted look. You guys work so well together. You're blessed to have such a wonderful family Michael.
When i was about 9 years old my friends mom had a station wagon with the rear facing seats in the back. We used to have so much fun riding in the back. Im so glad i watched this video because i had actually forgot all about that until I watched this.
This channel and sleeperdude is family oriented and that is great!!! Your dad is cool!
Old big block wagons are cool! You and your dad put out some fun content. The kids getting to help made the video. . Sometimes it is the little thing that make a older car cool, like peeling off the ugly old brown stuff.
I like the blue down the side, paint the re-sprayed and faded areas a few shades darker, I’m liking the 2tone look it now has.
