The Dodge Trash-pen

Yee haw!!

So, if you’ve been following, I got a free Aspen Wagon (converted-ble!) with a great running Super Six and Overdrive A-833 four speed. All it needed was an ignition module. We thrashed it around for a week.

The “redneck limo” is gone. With the drivetrain (removed to put into my ’68 Valiant), disk brakes (swapped in junk drum brake spindles), and rear-end (swapped in another junk rear-end), wiring, etc yanked, it was worthless. Then we threw on the garbage. It was a ’77 Aspen Station wagon convertible with 18 wheels/tires, 3 hoods, 7 doors, 2 propane tanks, a 396 intake manifold, dual A/C compressors, and a whole lot of other junk piled high. Tied it to the back of Greg’s truck, and hauled it off. We got pulled over 30 seconds after leaving the house, on the way there, and the cop told us it was illegal to tow it like that. We said, “So should we just turn around and drag it back to my house? He smiled, shook his head, and said, “I saw nothing! Be careful!”, and zoomed off.
