eBay Find: Dodge Challenger Wagon

By Rob

Editor-in-Chief

This wacky conversion happened back in 1973, so as the seller states, "get over it." The Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser roof definitely gives it a funky P1800 wagon vibe, and you know it would be fun to piss off purists at shows. Still, the auction ended with no bids, so maybe it will take a while for this weird Mopar to find a home. In another shot after the jump, it looks like it had a Daytona-style nose on at one point, which almost managed to make it look like a 300ZX.

The second picture is when we bought it from the original owner and he had the top and nose on it. After we got it we took off the nose and put a Gremlin hatch on the back. This car is an everyday car and is enjoyed by us and is much rathered like this than an everyday 71 challenger.

I’m impressed with the grafting of the Vista roof to the R/T. That was susprisingly well-done.

I doubt the same person who originally did the roof also put on that nose, which is HORRIBLE to say the least. That nose made the front overhang something like 4 feet, LOL.

Anyway, I’m surprised the car had no bids unless the starting bid was ridiculous. Screw the purists (in this case) it is what it is.

This thing is awesome! I would love driving around in something like this, even if purists would be mad. To be honest, I would rather see this at a car show instead of an original Challenger.

I loves me some wagons and I loves me some vista cruiser! I dig it.

Looks like some clean fab work. Cant really tell unless we could see down to bare metal. I just hope its not a bondo queen.

Theres enough perfect restoration cars out there for the purists. Especially now that these cars do in the millions for rare optioned Hemi’s. I think this is awesome. I definitly like the front splitter. It makes it look more cartoonish. Serioulsy though thing REALLY BAD ASS GREMLIN ! haha
