Poor thing! Anyone looking for a parts car?
Greatings from Maryland
Just crossed the 2 year mark with my baby. It is a 1972 Plymouth Fury Custom Suburban. I am the second owner. Garage kept since day 1. All original, motor has never been apart. 134,000 miles. 6-passenger with 360ci. While most people call it bei…
72 Plym Custom Suburban for parts?
Many of you may have seen my thread a few weeks ago about trees crushing my buddy’s garage with my 72 Wagon inside. Well, the wagon is finally out from under the garage and back home in my garage pending a visit from an Insurance Adjuster. I am 99% positive they will be totaling the car. I would hate to see it crushed if someone could use its bones. So, I need to know ASAP if anyone in the club is interested and how much you would be willing to spend. As soon as I know the Buy Back, I…
Well, the Insurance company was wrong in this instance!
The insurance always makes a stink about keeping our Classic Car Insured cars in a locked garage to keep them safe. Tonight, that turned out to be the least safe place. A freak wind event snapped a couple of trees and brought them down on the garage….
The horror of living across the street from a demolition derbier
A few months ago the house right across the street sold. To the horror of this rabid car enthusiast household, they are into building and destroying big old cars in a local demolition derby.
At first, it was just disdain on my part as they destroyed 80’s or newer land yachts…a square body caprice… a late 90’s Crown Vic…among others. Then this past weekend I saw their latest creation get taken to and from the track. A rather structurally nice looking Lincoln 2dr from the early 70’s. I was…

72 Wagon…Should I buy Car or Van/Truck tires?
Hey, Wagon Owners, any of you bought tires for your wagon which were designed for a Full-sized van or a truck instead of the normal passenger car tires? While my ’72 Custom Suburban does show duty, it also is called to service for hauling. And, it runs a lot empty. Just like a Cargo Van. Given its size, capability to transport large loads, it got me wondering. The 235/75R15 is a very common Van size.
I used to drive an 15pass Dodge Van. Other than sitting up high, it and my wagon felt…
On the hunt for Speedometer parts for a 72
My 1972 Custom Suburban’s speedo gave up. It is a 360ci wagon with Speed-Control. I am on the hunt for preferably a NOS cable from the Speed-Control to the Transmission. And, I also need the gear which goes inside the transmission. Anyone have any wisdom of a good place to source these from?
