XP-67. Custom for sure, but also limited edition, as Barris built four of them.
One of them was given away as a prize, up here in Canada, in some kind of a contest back then. I don't remember details, but there was an article about it in Old Autos (Canadian hobby newspaper) a while back.
 
Put that thing in the washer....please.
 
This is actually the rarest Dodge Muscle station wagon. I only built the one! 9-passenger 3-seat 1967 Coronet R/T wagon, built with 440 Magnum and 4-speed with Inland shifter handle on Hurst guts. The wagon has an 8 3/4" rear end equipped with 3.55 gears on a Suregrip differential. I added a rear sway bar to this car, that improved the stability of the tail-heavy wagon greatly. The front brakes were converted to pin-caliper disc brakes. It has dark red bucket seat interior with front "buddy" seat, and carpeted cargo area. I made up a pair of 8" wide 15" Police wheels for the rear, and had 7" wide ones on the front, painted body colour. These wheels wore 1969 Dodge "Red Circle" hub caps.
When I was restoring my 1967 Coronet R/T hardtop, I came up with another too-far-gone R/T as a parts car. This gave me some vital extra parts to convert my Coronet 440 wagon to a phantom R/T one. I was careful to build mine as Chrysler could have done, with proper emblems and placement. The grill received the correct R/T-only centrepiece, and the hood got its scoop. I even went as far as cutting the quarter panel "scoops"out of my parts car, and grafting them into the rear doors, as an R/T would have. 4-door cars did not have this feature. Unlike other Coronets that had a gas filler door, wagons had an exposed gas cap. I adapted a 1967 GTX cap to fit the wagon. A spare Coronet 500/R/T rear trunklid finish panel was narrowed and sectioned to fit the tailgate, between the tail lights We drove it to Chryslers at Carlisle in 1999, and many people took pictures of it and commented on it. Rob Wolfe did a photo shoot of it, and it was featured in Mopar Collectors Guide. The wagon was eventually sold to a man in Michigan. A couple of years later, a friend of mine saw it in a collector car auction in Detroit, in connection with the Woodward Ave. Dream Cruise. When it went across the block, it was advertised as a One-of-One factory 1967 Coronet R/T wagon, specially built for a Chrysler executive, to pull his custom Ski boat! Over the years, it migrated back to Ontario, and sits in a collection about 40 miles from me.
The first picture is my first version, with 383, automatic. We drove it to Mopar Nationals in Columbus in 1986, and we were the only station wagon there. Other pictures are R/T conversion.
