I always loved wagons. I bought a Pontiac wagon from an executive at Delco in Kokomo Indiana back in the early 70s that thing had everything on it I wished I had it today.
Our family car in the late sixties was a 66 white Coronet 440 station wagon with the red interior like that one. It had dad's favorite 318 engine. I remember the long drives sitting in the rear facing third seat looking out the back windows..
Grow up sliding around the back a dark blue '66 coronet 440 wagon . . . Of the 50 + cars I've owned in 45 years this is top of the wish list to have again . . . Took a while figure out how cool my dad was to talk my mom into bringing this one home
Hi Steve I'm a big mopar fan and owner of 2 64 -dodge 440 1 2 dr post and I wagon also have a 65 coronet 440 convertible the only one that is restored. I remember going to junk yards 30 years ago looking for stuff for my 65 even then cars in wny are rare .car shows were the thing for mopar connections. Thanks for what you do I watch all of your videos
Steve ,I see your followers numbers are going up ,it won’t be long you’ll be at 100,000 my friend ,keep up the great work you are a true American car 🇺🇸 historian and patriot to the country thanks for the daily education into my living room
I never seen it either. Til I had hands on experience dragging a 64 Pontiac GTO out of the woods. I opened hood . Valve cover rotted off and valve springs as well. Even the carburators decintergrated into dust . Car didn't have a bottom . Car was silver and black console and buckets. Car covered in dense brush since I'm early -mid 70's when it got stuck there. Abandoned farm house house burnt . Car and other stuff was there. All gone now.
@@SteveMagnante you need to come to Wisconsin. We have a yard I like to go where it opened in the 30s. and they never crushed. You can walk all day and not see everything they have.
It would be cool, but I agree with Steve's assessment that it's just too far gone. There are too many missing parts and too much rot for it to be a worthwhile undertaking.
63-65, Plymouth and Dodge shared the same basic body style from the cowl back. My first registered car was an ex-US Forest Service '63 Savoy wagon with rear seat delete and a 225 leaning tower of power coupled to a push button Torqueflite. And... the wagons are still popular as drag cars (I sold my three a couple years back). -edit: the 61-62 Plymouth/Dodge wagons were pure Virgil Exner but you can still see his influences carried over to the 63-65 years. Thanks for taking a closer look at this one Steve. 😎👍
My daily is a '63 Savoy 4 door sedan with the 225 slant 6 and a 3 on the tree. because it is a Mexican Spec car it has the Fury trim on the sides. I have a few videos on my channel if you are interested in seeing how a Mexican made car is different than the US made car.
We used to borrow the 440 super commando engines out of the wagons ) had a 68 Chrysler wagon loaded . It was our tow vehicle ) Big old wagon would low 14 s.With air shocks and 60 s ) the good ol days)
Nice valve covers! We really like your channel. And you're doing the old car hobby a real service.....nice histories and details on each car we visit. Thanks!
I'm not familiar with the '65 Dodges but the '68 Dodge Dart kick panel vents had a hinged door you opened and there was enough room to stash a six pack still in the ringer on both sides and if it was cool out it would keep your favorite beverage cool for you too.
Back in the late 70’s, my “General Motors” brother-in-law bought a little Dodge Dart from my “Chrysler” brother-in-law to use as a commuter car. As the calendar turned toward winter, my “General Motors” brother-in-law was having a hard time keeping the car warm inside and finally asked my “Chrysler” brother-in-law if he had ever had any heating issues with the car. The first thing my “Chrysler” brother-in-law asked was, “Did you close the vent?” To which my “General Motors” brother-in-law replied, “What vent?” Yeah - those hinged door vents that Chrysler used were kind of weird…..😂
Good morning Steve , Speaking of racing station wagons in 1967 -8 I would race anything anyplace on the street and at the strip, in the Pittsburgh area we had P I D and for a short time Keystone only a half mile from Yenko Camaro as us locals called it . As just a little squirt just being able to race on a real quarter mile ment everything so I didn't care so much what it was , it was just bracket racing , sometimes it would be a VW bug sometimes a 64 Goat but I also raced my Dads Mercury Monteray station wagon.
Back when I was putting cars together some twenty years ago I wish I was working in a yard yard like this all the parts you could possibly want I would still love to walk through this yard that's why I like these videos so much knowledge you have Steve
In 1966, my father brought home on a test drive a used '65 Belvedere wagon, in basic black. As soon as we pulled into the driveway, mom came running out shaking her head. "There was no way she was going to have a hearse parked in her driveway!!" she said.
Hi TheTrailrancher, I hope you saw my video on the VW camper bus of a few weeks back. If not check it out on the Playlist for Junkyard Crawl videos. The unmistakable "Thumbnail Image" of a VW van (second Gen) will greet you. Then press play! THANKS for writing, Steve Magnante
@Thewhitetailrancher having owned Vw bugs and a Corvair Rampside I do like those air cooled vehicles. They can sit for years and no coolant corrosion. 👍
Yes, very cool x-ray of the front cowling. I've always wondered what was hidden under my 65's cowling due to some rust by the master cylinder. Now I know!
Never knew that some of these wagons raced the in the day. I live the styling of these wagons. What would look cool is turning a wagon like this into a 2 door wagon!
There's a few 65/66 Corrie wagons here and I nearly bought a 383 torqueflite car a while ago, I loved the styling and was planning on making it a daily but we couldn't agree on a price. Hamburger with the lot it even had cold AC. I wasnt aware of the donor status of these things to make classic clones but thats the sort of fab I used to do making tribute cars and being self taught I wasnt aware of what was impossible lol so I made the Impossible possible with time and sweat equity. Part of why I love your series and the ideas your work spawns......
That early 273 (64 to 66) has a solid lifter cam and is a good place to get a cheap set adjustable rockers just run a tap in the hole for friction adjusters and replace with lock nut style adjusters I did this way back in 1980 for my street 340 hard to find one of those early 273 like that today!!!!!
Always had a thing for wagons, eva since the Nomad in 'Smash up derby. My first 'on road' was a 69 A body valiant wagon. Chucked the 273 for a stonkin 265 hemi and shocked lotsa V8 fords and holdens. Thems the days!!.
Hi Brian O'Banion, I agree, too many folks "chewing the air" with complaints about "The Management in D.C. My take on thing is this: "Somebody has to run this joint...I'm glad it isn't ME!!!". True, some Managers are better than others but chewing the air and complaining on street corners is boring. Vote or run for office. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy living in one of the best countries (OK maybe THE best) on Earth. We have more freedoms than we recognize and there's no need to waste precious time being negative. THANKS for writing, Steve Magnante
@@SteveMagnante And that is why so many of us look forward to watching and listening to Steve talk about cars, trucks, modeling, or just about any old thing whether it has an engine or not. It's such an escape from all the crap. Umm.. I mean negativity.
I had a 63 Polara Sport Sedan (pillarless four door) with a 383 and Torqueflite back in the 1990’s but the only thing I have left from it are a few time slips. I sold it because I wanted a 330 two door sedan (or what Steve incorrectly calls posts). It took me thirty years to find one. I found it at Wildcat Auto Wrecking in Oregon. Cool Place.
Looks like the trim tag is gone, so no tag, can't brag. No VIN, can't win, but I got it figured out, no doubt: W for Coronet eight cylinder, 5 for wagon, 5 for 1965 model year, maybe 2 for Dodge Main/Hamtramck, MI assembly aka "Factory Zero", or 5 for Los Angeles, CA assembly, or possibly 7 for Fenton (St. Louis, MO) assembly and the rest is the production sequence. Exterior color is likely code "W" White.
Yeah that was a weed eater when we were kids Steve. We are the same age. You do know a lot more about the cars than I ever did. I know a lot, but not about the cars you know the best, the Mopars.
Yes '65 was the year Chrysler went from push button to column lever shifter ,but still used the cables between the end of the column to the transmission .Weird.'65 was also the year they went from a ball and trunion driveshaft to a slip yoke out of the transmission driveshaft.The '65 Torqueflight was a one year deal because of those facts.
Did the AWB cars actually get dedicated quarter panel stampings with the relocated wheel arches? Or did they alter a body-in-white surgically afterimage was welded together?
Hello Bob_88SC, there is a formerly "Confidential" build paper created by the Chrysler Chassis and Suspension Lab back in late 1964 that chronicles the construction of the first altered wheelbase B-Body, a Plymouth which was known as the "mule car". In the photos there are obvious marks where the quarter panels were cut and patched. So NO there were no special altered wheel house quarter panels made for the factory FX cars. Each and every one has some pretty raw body work hiding beneath the race car paint schemes applied to the recipients. Its also why Chrysler painted them white before delivery, a nice blank canvas but it also HIDES surgery scars better than colors. THANKS again for writing, Steve Magnante
Watch cold war motors. See what Scott did with his 60 fury. Had a roached 2 door car. A decent 4 door car and grafted the two together.. cars almost done. Amazing build.. please follow cold war motors guys
I just will never understand why people will take the air cleaner off and ruin an engine. Steve might have taken this one off. And I know the valve covers are rusted through on this one, but I see this all the time on engines that could have maybe been rebuilt.
Because good running engines are pulled to sell when a car goes in a junkyard. The cars with an engine mostly are for parts anyways. Also if they have 10 good 318 engines that have been sitting without selling they ain't worried about having 11.
@@user-neo71665 still not a good enough reason. 10yrs from now that same engine that oh well we got 10 already, will be even more in demand! So yeah I wish they wouldn't leave the air cleaners off as well!
@@timothyballinger6280 junkyards rarely give a rats about anything over 10 years old unless they are a speciality yard. Most the time they crush anything by 5 years old to get new models in.
Hi Steve, would they sell this instrument cluster? I specifically need a 65 gas gauge for my Coronet. Bad. Any help steering me in the right direction would be awesome 👍
Hello TheTallest, yes the metal pointer seemed helpful - at first. But it was too short to really be able to indicate from a distance without getting in the way of the camera. So it was "retired" after just the one video of the 1965 Chevelle SS. So its back to sticks and stones...THANKS for writing, Steve Magnante

How did that dashboard get destroyed 🤷🏼♂️
Forklift punctures in the LH front door and quarter panel… I suspect the dash got crunched up by one of them when they used it to lift the car.

Hey Steve. Where's your pointer? Love your channel.

Valve covers are even rotted out
Hever go wrong with a good stick!
Looks like in this one someone blew up the dashboard and had his head against the windshield...
If a person is what caused that damage to the passenger side dash... I'm sure glad it wasn't me! Wow!
My guess is a forklift
