Bought this '63 Dodge 330 wagon this past weekend. Gonna pick it up in next couple days. It came off the Navajo reservation in New Mexico. Original owner passed a few years ago and his daughter sold the car to guy I bought it from. He never did anything, but verify the engine runs, then parked in his garage for 9 months. Speedo show 37K and it is possible that is original. Could not get his garage door open, and this beast filled that garage, so I couldn't look close, but $2k, I bought instantly. Just made sure no hidden rust, and motor cranks.
Can't wait to get it home. I have owned a few Mopars in the last 50 years, but this is my first , (besides my Magnum daily driver) in the last 20years.

Good chance, it's a 37K mile original car. If that turns out to be the case, "maybe" paint the roof, or maybe save the patina, leave the engine, and add a set of Torq Thrust Ds.
Then just cruise.

Love it! Almost bought a 63 Dodge wagon a few years ago but was holding out for a 63 Plymouth. Picked this one up a couple of weeks ago.

Very cool! Lucky, MoPar wagons in any condition are becoming impossible to find, digging the wheels too!
