I picked my T&C up last year from the original owners family, the wagon was parked in 1983 after the engine stopped working.
I was not really interested in buying a 73 Chrysler T&C but when I seen the car the first time my reaction was pretty much OK I buy it.
When I got the wagon home I started pulling the engine apart and fund out that somehow one valve broke and was stuck in the head.
Luckily no damage to the piston or bore, I installed fresh rebuild heads and a whole bunch new parts since then.
New Carburetor
New TTI Exhaust
New Water pump
New fuel pump
New fuel filter
New belts
New gaskets
New ignition system
New mini starter
New radiator
New transmission service including selector shaft seal
New brake booster and master
New shocks on all 4 corners
New ATC Servo
New front and rear bumper
New tires on road wheels 255/70R15 on the front 7x15 rim and 275/60R15 on 8x15 at the rear looks just right on the wagon and the fender skirts will still fit.
New NOS Backup lights
and lots of other little things.
I‘m really surprised how super nice the wagon drives @CanCritter cam over today and we took the wagon for a good drive and he really liked it how smooth it rides.
After that we took my Hemi Fury out to hunt some new Camaros or Mustangs but that’s another story.
I‘m still in the process of cleaning and detailing the wagon is getting there slowly and when I’m done with all work I will try finding a new owner for the Wagon.

That's one nice wagon! How many miles? Has to be low. What does "severe service pkg" entail? I'm guessing HD brakes, suspension, cooling, sure grip?

The wagon has 97tmls on the clock, and yes it has sure grip and HD cooling

Back home after a little 150mls cruise Today, I have to say the Wagon rides super nice and smooth.
Lots of head turning and thumbs up

We had to adjust the TTI exhaust system a bit it was rattling on the wagon.

The Wagon looks very small between my work truck and private truck.
Maybe that’s why I like driving C Bodys because there small and essay to park, not like my Dodge Ram 3500.
