70 Plymouth Suburban.  383-2v.  Will become my new daily driver, and the long restoration on the Barracuda will finally begin.






This will be the third Mopar I've bought in 3 years.  First was a Dart with a slant six.  Then was the Barracuda with a smallblock.  Now it's a big block wagon.  I keep increasing in engine size.  I guess next is a HEMI car.... maybe not, but I can dream, can't I? :lol:

That's cool. Give it a wax job and a new grille and you'll be stylin' big time. Something like that would look pretty bad with some 17' rims and lowered (I've never said that before). How's the interior?

Dash is all cracked to hell, and the seats are torn, but nothing too bad.

Right on, wagons are cool.  Especially a big block.  Is it a 6 or 9 passenger?  You have yourself an instant covered pick up with the rear seat(s) down.  I always wanted to drive my Banshee up on the roof and use it for a tow rig.  I remember the 2 barrel 383 being good on fuel.  Depending on gear you may get better or at least the same mpg as your Barracuda?

I agree with Curtis, throw ya' some 17's on and you B stylin'.  :coolgleamA:

Is that place the picture was taken oof I-39 just before the Iowa border in MO.?  It looks like a place I drove out to looking at a Charger for a parts car.

New pics.









Started it up this afternoon.  Idles fine, shifts just fine, but there's a small problem with the distributor, most likely from sitting for so long.  Nothing major.  Gotta wait on my investment fund to get the rest of the money, but I should have the title in my name by the end of the week.

Something about a "rescue unit".  I'll take a better pic once I have it home.

That looks pretty cool, congrats! :cheers:
Is there any evidence of antenna mount holes from it's old job?

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

There's a hole on the passenger quarter panel.
