Brown Royal: 1977 Dodge Aspen Wagon
It’s brown. It’s a wagon. It has a carburetor fed inline-6 mated to a slushbox automatic and it probably smells of old cheese vinyl. Yes, this is the perfect car for a family who doesn’t want to drive yet another stupid crossover/crossunder from the product planners at the mainstream automakers. Just be sure that everybody wears shoes that can be used to push a car if necessary. Find this 1977 Dodge Aspen Wagon offered for $10,500 in Westhampton Beach, NY via craigslist. Tip from Cory.

Ten grand is a lot to pay just to prove to the rest of the world that you’ve lost your self respect. This is what you drive when you’ve given up in life. I bet even the car’s horn sounds like what you hear when you get it wrong on The Price Is Right.
About 10x too much for my project…
Hoping someday I’ll find the right wagon and turn it into the perfect vehicle for a memorable family road trip:

Grandpa finally died.
Westhampton Beach, NY Is the kind of town where all the SUVs are Maseratis and you see teenagers in Lamborghinis.
I am sure this is the nicest Aspen wagon in the world.
It’s also a hotbed of John Deer collecting.
All the more reason to mod it into a Wagon Queen Family Truckster…

I’m rather shocked to see a slant six Aspen going for over $10,000. But I am also shocked to see one this clean and rust free. Apparently the seller is banking on both canceling out.
