71 Challenger Wagon

[71demonsizzler]

I know how some of you guys feel about the car, some like it some hate it. My dad was a well known member on here as some of you may remember. He was the one that built this car to how it is today. I am finally digging it out of the building and redoing a bunch of stuff on it.... Yes it is going to stay a wagon. My dad died in 2011 from kidney failure (not a drinker) and I have since drove the car about twice, since then it has had alot of abuse. Someone stole the keys, the drivers fender has been smashed, it needs a set of wheels, and it needs new paint. I will keep you all updated on the process as I work on it.

I love it and am really glad that it still exists and also that he decided against the nose treatment in the pic where it’s still red.

It has become a well-known Mopar custom. Your dad had really excellent metal working skills!
Repair what is needed and enjoy the car!

A really nice looking conversion. Almost like it was a factory design.

I've seen photos of it before and I like it. I wondered what happened to it. Get it fixed up and drive it. That car is too cool to let it waste away. Definitely keep us informed. I wish I had those metal working skills your dad had. I have a 74 Charger screaming to have something like that done to it, or I could change the Charger into an El Camino type vehicle and let the critics moan about it.

I have spoken with your Dad in the past at shows and online. Didn't he also have a 4 wheel drive Charger or Satellite with a nose cone and wing on it?

Yes we also had the 4x4 general lee and I have the sunroof superbird that he built also all from scratch

Is that an Olds Vista Cruiser roof and rear glass?

 

[heminut]

That was a great build! Definitely restore it to what your dad built, it has a history and sentimental value.

I love it! Very good craftsmanship and style. The vista roof in the front is a nice touch!

That right there^^^^^ is what hotrodding is all about, adapting parts to create your vision! I truly admire guys who are able to do that! It might give the purists fits, but in my humble opinion this is an art form.

I always said I'd buy one...

He was the Thermoquad guru, right...?
