Man oh man, that is NICE. 4-speed, A-C Fury wagon, most likely big block too! It is hard to imagine a nicer wagon.

There is a Morris Minor woody, just like that one, here in socal, but it's red, with a blown small block chevy.

If it's factory it has to be a big block.
No small block four speed (or floor shift 3 speed) B body cars until 1971.
Not mine--just kidding! I built this in 1981 and it's still not finished.

Wasn't sure the best place to post these so bear with me.
Not a MOPAR but ...
Tail light Tuesday,
Front end Friday,
Wagon Wednesday,
In the wild,
No longer identifies as a wagon.
This one (not mine)
Had an old one, numbers matching original metal and paint, minor surface rust, buried in the garage for several years, a real barn find. Stored extra bricks and bags of potting soil since 2005. Just unloaded it to a young couple we know with one little girl and another on the way. My friend calls me his American dad (he's from the UK).
Should have researched its worth before I gave it away this past summer. Googled it and discovered they go from $225-$300 new. Probably could have gotten more for the heavier gauge and patina.
Evidently I didn't know what I had.
Ps. He didn't need to bring a trailer either, free shipping to the next county.
(Sorry, couldn't help myself.)

On a serious note
My best bud since grade school got a '68 from his Dad when we turned about 16, appx 1980. (not this one) Pretty sure it was a Fury 3 / 318. Being from a mechanic family they kept that girl going north of 400,000 miles eventually winding up with a 440 4bbl transplant. His father thought he was crazy. Not too many (pronounced none) of those running around our area at the time. He took a good ribbing from our contemporaries about it not being "cool" . We would just smile knowing how clueless they were to how "cool" it was to have all that room available for double dates with our girls.

There was a guy with a nash metro at Irwindale, turquoise and white, cute little bugger. Right hand drive, with a procharged small block chevy. If it had had a for sale sign on it,it would be in MY driveway. I have a bunch of pics but they are in an old phone, and didnt make it into this one.

Couldn't find it but, if you have a procharged small block sitting around, here you go (I know, left hand drive but I tried):

Previously owned the '64, '69, '70 and '05 Magnum R/T. Currently own the '62 (440, 4-spd., 8 3/4); "before and after" pics. The '61 is not mine.
