I had a very similar van in the 70's, same colour, V8, but the maxi version. (longer). Used it for work, never let me down. Easy to work on, the cowl inside unclipped, and there was the engine. 150k on it. Loved that van. Good memories. Enjoyed the trip! Thanks...

Station Wagons are called Estate Cars here. Unfortunately you have exported the S.U.V. epidemic here. I hate those as they are unnecessary on our narrow country roads. I have two Estates; a 94 Volvo 855 owned from new and a Mercedes diesel S212 . Great video. 👍🏻🇺🇸✌️🏴🇬🇧

What an awesome wagon! Are those actual bucket seats?! Like the elegant center console gentle curves. The fabric and stitching and complementing color wow. That motor sounds healthy and the steelies will be perfect. What do all those stickers tell us? Look forward to your Route 66 trip! 🤘🏼 Seems like I saw one of those on the old Beverly Hills show lol. It’s really a stylish wagon which fits NY better than Cali, like to see it out your way at a country farm or something.

We had a '66 Newport with a 383 my Dad bought new after Mom wrecked the Buick. He was a Mopar guy after that. He kept that car for 21 years and it never had any issues other than normal maintenance. The mid-sixties Mopars were the high point of Chrysler engineering....they are bulletproof. If you find one that has been maintained they will run forever.

@@ObsoleteAutomotive When we were making those trips, there was no alcohol in the fuel. You would be making the same as I did. For every percent of alcohol added to the gasoline,the efficiency is lowered that amount, water is also being added which further reduces the efficiency..I also had the tire inflation at 35#.

So cool! I used to have a ‘66 Newport convertible with a 383 that I pulled out of an old collapsed barn. The owner said if I could get it out of there he would sign the title over to me. Got it out, patched up and running then drove from NJ all through Canada and back with my girlfriend. Drove it daily for years until I moved to a place with no garage and I hated leaving it out in the rain, so I sold ‘er off. It had power windows (including the wing vent windows), power seats, power top, power door locks, power steering and brakes, cruise control, power antenna, power trunk release and of course A/C (that didn’t work). What a great car that was!!

With that engine and fully loaded it likely has the towing package which included a larger radiator and positraction rear end. What a find with that engine! If you have trouble with starting, check the timing chain, Chryslers are sensitive to timing wear, it's an easy job and gets it back to running great.

Lots of people giving advice, I know, but I drive early 60s Lincolns and you absolutely need to use ethanol free 91 octane. Also, looks like the fan clutch may be just freewheeling which would help explain it running hot unless you are at road speed.
