New member, first antique Mopar

Hi all. I am waiting impatiently for a call from the transport company that's bringing me my 1968 Fury Suburban. I really don't know what prompted me to buy it, but I did!

I also have a 2005 Jeep GC Limited and after graduating from Navy boot camp and hospital corps school, coming up on 19 years ago, I bought a 1991 Dodge Daytona. That was a fun car, even for a 4 cylinder.

I'm still not sure if the Suburban can be called a "muscle" car, but it does have a 383 Commando and the seller tells me it will move. If I can call it that, it won't be my first. I had a '78 Trans Am and while most probably wouldn't call it a "muscle car", I had a '89 Chevy Caprice Police Package with a 350 that would've put a lot of "muscle cars" to shame!

I've always wanted a '89-'91 (I think that was the last year) Dodge Diplomat Police Package...one of the fuel injected ones with a 318. I think that would also be a fun one.

Anyway, you will probably find me only haunting the C Body forum. I'm a member of too many forums as it is, so trying to read every part of every forum is too much!

Here's one of the pics from the seller. I'll take my own soon.

Welcome to the forum congrats on your purchase there are many folks here to help with your questions. The old wagons are very cool not considered muscle cars but cruisers.

I don't think that a '68 Suburban would be considered a "muscle car" but, it sure is cool!!!
I'm happy for you and I wish I had a wagon!!
