The Denver self-service wrecking yard a few miles from my house had a section packed with a few dozen examples of vintage Detroit iron, plus a few MGs. I say had because they just crushed everything. Fortunately, they did so to make room for a new crop of American machinery from the 1950s and 1960s, including this Mopar wagon.
It’s a Family Truckster!
It’s a Grosses Wagon!
It’s a beater, but we can still recognize its 1960s Cheap Chrysler Glory in the red interior.

My various friends and acquaintances who've undertaken the herculean task of restoring a 62-65 b-body would weep at the thought of this getting crushed. Parts availability for these is pretty bad. BTW, you can get a multi-carb intake from Offy (I think) for the 318 poly that looks pretty cool.
Nick, you're right on the offy manifold. A buddy of mine has a 63 sport fury, and instead of going with a wedge like everyone else he stuck with the poly. It has the offy manifold with two edelbrock carbs. It looks cool with the dual carbs, chromed stock valve covers and chrysler red engine paint. The engine runs smooth and makes for a nice cruiser. It is a shame seeing this car being junked. I am in the process of buying a 62 polara wagon. I have a 413 from and 65 new yorker that will be dropped in, with a nice mild cam, carb and manifold.
