Yea, I wasn't thinking when I came up with that name.
The pic dosen't do justice as to how badly it needs a paint job.

Paint Your Wagon

I built this bracket buggy for less than 5K, and been racing it for over a decade. It's not all that fast (mid/low 13's), but it sure is deadly consistant.

Cool wagon Dago Red, can't beat that! That's a lot of fun for that price. Low 13's are pretty respectable in my opinion, and consistency is key. Cool stuff!

Money For Nothing

I'll tell ya gang, for being labeled "one of the worst cars ever built" they are tough, tough platforms that make good race cars. Add to that you can still get a lot of heavy duty "police package" parts over the counter and you can go Mopar racing and not spend a small fortune on a A, B, or E body shell. You see a lot of them popping up in Stock and Super Stock where their underrated HP factors have got previously Chevy dominated classes scrambling (and complaining:eusa_boohoo:)

Check this out: E58 package (low compression/Thermoquad) 10.09!!!!

The wheels weren't on it when I got it, I've put over $2000 in it to get it on the road. I needed a car big enough for my entire family(4kids+wife and me). I just need to deal with a few more minor issues, I'm very happy with it over all though.

Hi Guys here's my 78 Aspen as it was when I brought it in 01, and some work in progress pics of the rebuild.

When I brought it, the only one in Australia, was converted to RH drive:

As it looked a while ago, thats my 440 Valiant Hardtop in the rear (think 69 Dart)

Painted engine bay, back to original Metaliic Silver.

Converted back to LH drive, thanks to a Volare 4 door that popped up on Ebay, an hour from here.
