Longtime lurker, new poster

[SattyNoCar]

Been off in the shadows a long time as my usual hang out spot has been moparts, but as I try to realize the dream I have for my wagon, I need a more specific site. Figured I better get active and make myself known as I will have questions to ask and parts to sell off (and buy).

The project is a '73 Satellite 9 passenger wagon. It pains me to say this, I've had this car 20 yrs, and the last 10 of it just sitting have done more damage than the previous 30+ yrs of driving (even if just occasionally).

Not planning a full on resto, just want to make it a presentable, reliable driver so I can take some epic road trips in it (if covid don't kill us all ).

Life keeps getting in the way, the usual stuff, a divorce or two.......

Recently moved the car to a place I can get back to work on it.

More details to come. In the meantime, I hope I can be of some assistance around here too.

(I have a LOT of sorting out to do........ AND I need to learn how to post on this site)

I can do video too!

This was supposed to be 1st start after not being started for 3 yrs, but camera kicked off at critical moment, so this is just after 1st start.



Just a stock 440 out of a '77 NY'er to replace the wagon's original 400 that has a spun rod bearing (don't lynch me, the NY'er was wrecked).

Wagons are GREAT road trip cars!

(You can even sleep in them if necessary)

...as well as great trip to the hardware store cars.

Tell us more and show us the inside.

You got the rest of the roof rack? I think someone on here was selling one a few months ago.
