Wish the kid would get his running, but he keeps spending his time and money on a 1971 Dart. Go figure. I like Darts, but I like 1964 Barracudas better. The one we have is an orginal 4-speed, 273 car.

There are 6 Dodge pickups, Jeep Grand Cherokee, 6 Honda 4 wheelers, a John Deere Gator , a couple forklifts and two tractors in the yard but here are a couple pictures of the most interesting. First a Ram 2500 Laramie Crew Cab 4X4 with new 6.4 Liter V8 Hemi (also has coil springs on the rear).  Second is a 1974 Dodge Custom 300 Power Wagon with a bale feeder bed (converted to propane).

I have a '73 power wagon much like that blue truck, (call it "Big Mo") and a flatbed much like that, which I haven't put on the truck yet. Mine is a 3/4 ton which was a 360 truck, but I put in a 400. 360 was fine, but I got a fresh rebuilt 400 in a trade...so into Big Mo it went. 360 went into my son's 3/4 ton, as his 318 was quite sick, which he then rolled three times a week later, and joined the Army. So I got the 360 back, but there wasn't hardly anything else of much use off the truck.  

 

Anyhow, I'll always have a soft spot for 1970's Power Wagons.

 

Deathbound, by the way, nice Pan. You like them simple, naked, light, and hand-shifted like me. Just before I built the UL, I was looking for a 1951 Pan motor for the project. Missed a couple of Pan deals, then just blundered into that UL engine for a really nice price, and all rebuilt, so I went with that.

new ram with a 6.4 ?  not a 5.7 ?  i didnt hear this was availble,,,last year  SRT  said  they were considering an  SRT 8  pick up but nothing  etched in stone ,,,what package do you have to  get to  have the 6.4??  is it available in a 1500 ??

Posted

6.4 not available in the 1500.  Engine has 2 spark plus per cylinder and shuts down 4 cylinders when not needed.  Actually gets about 1 mpg better than my 5.7L Hemi.

yes they put the  mds cylinder  deactivation on the  6.4  in  2011,,, if that motor ever is offered in a 1500 ide be  buyin g one,,,  thanks

I had to look twice to see the ford behind that wild paint scheme. It's interesting how they kept the rear doors and just added to the top.  Cool!

I learned to drive in a 61 English Ford. It was a two door wagon if I remember correctly. Dad had it for a few years and sold it to my cousin who totaled it on a telephone pole. Dad also had a 59 English Ford that I remember as a four door sedan.

Thanks for the comments fella's. These wagon's were all built as sedan's by Ford and taken to an outside coachbuilder, Abbott's of Farnham, and then converted to be sold through the dealerships.Gotta agree it is a wild factory paint scheme for an English car but it shows it's American styling influences well.I've added an under hood pic to show the triple Su carb set up i've fitted, it's also has the optional overdrive gearbox and makes a nice cruiser. My plans for my Plymouth are pretty much the same ie. basically stock with some period tuning goodies fitted, luckily it came with the R10 overdrive fitted.

This is actually my second MS3.  I originally had a red one which I sold and bought a Mini Cooper.  I missed it so I sold the Mini and bought this one a few months ago.
