I had this wagon for a few years. One of my close friends Grandmother had it in her garage. It was her deceased husbands. I asked to buy it, but no go. Then almost 5 years later I got a call that she wanted it out of the garage. So I flew done to LA, gave it some
tranny fluid, some new tires and drove it back up to Reno. It was a great car, new engine...power everything. A little too much for me. But it was awesome. I sold my 1970 Dodge Dart to afford it. I sold it on
ebay to a dealer in Salt Lake City. From what I remember he wasn't too stoked when it arrived. It looked better in the pics I guess. Anyways, I took the money and ran. My brother Tony found a 1970 Dodge Charger up in Chico and I bought that. It's really part of the whole plan, I knew if I bought that wagon I could resale it for more and purchase a Charger. Anyways...I rented the movie World's Fastest Indian, an
bitchin flick, and I saw my wagon in it. It turns out that the movie company bought the car off the lot in
SLC and used it for the scenes in the Salt Flats. Back in the day they'd use wagons to hull the crew around in. You can see the tail end of it in the pic:

So there it is, to my surprise the car is a movie star now. Here's a pic of it when I had it up for sale at a car show:

You can tell by the hitch it's the same car. I had
Lagwagn on the plates.
