Default a really nice wagon.

source: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/1...ormance-wagon/

A performance wagon might sound like a relatively new concept, but this bad boy was tearing up the streets with kids and pets in the back seat long before the Audi RS6 Avant and BMW M5 Touring existed. The story goes that a Chicago man with five children purchased a Plymouth Satellite wagon out of necessity, but craved more performance. When the Road Runner 440 Six Pack was introduced, the man called up Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge and asked if it was possible to shoehorn the motor into his wagon. They were indeed up to the task, and the GTX 440 Six Pack Wagon was born.

The car eventually found its way to California, where it was converted to a 4-speed and fitted with bucket seats from a GTX. It was ultimately retired and sat in a back yard for nearly a decade, but Larry Weiner of Performance West discovered it and restored it to its former glory. Follow the jump for the full details on the restoration, and check out the gallery of high resolution photos below.

Now thats my territory...old mopars. Thats badass plain and simple. Doesnt surprise me Mr. Norm had his hands in it. Dodge said you could put a big block in a Dodge Dart....he did and Dodge took note.

Maybe one day once my Dart is done I will rally it.
