I know how some of you guys feel about the car, some like it some hate it. My dad was a well known member on here as some of you may remember. He was the one that built this car to how it is today. I am finally digging it out of the building and redoing a bunch of stuff on it.... Yes it is going to stay a wagon. My dad died in 2011 from kidney failure (not a drinker) and I have since drove the car about twice, since then it has had alot of abuse. Someone stole the keys, the drivers fender has been smashed, it needs a set of wheels, and it needs new paint. I will keep you all updated on the process as I work on it.
 
This is pictures of me and my sister when dad built it the first time

I love it and am really glad that it still exists and also that he decided against the nose treatment in the pic where it’s still red.
 
I've seen photos of it before and I like it. I wondered what happened to it. Get it fixed up and drive it. That car is too cool to let it waste away. Definitely keep us informed. I wish I had those metal working skills your dad had. I have a 74 Charger screaming to have something like that done to it, or I could change the Charger into an El Camino type vehicle and let the critics moan about it.

I have spoken with your Dad in the past at shows and online. Didn't he also have a 4 wheel drive Charger or Satellite with a nose cone and wing on it?

Yes we also had the 4x4 general lee and I have the sunroof superbird that he built also all from scratch

That was a great build! Definitely restore it to what your dad built, it has a history and sentimental value.:thumbsup:
 
I'm glad the car is still around. I Love it. Sorry to hear about your Dad.
Fix it up and have fun.

I always said I'd buy one...

He was the Thermoquad guru, right...?
