I have a 95 safari van that I'm selling with a 355v8 nice van anyway I had a guy call me yesterday wanting to trade a 1973 Dodge Coronet wagon 400 big block, a/c car, flow masters and from south Carolina so pretty clean my question is cause I don't see many online for sale what are they worth? Are the 400's good engines? These cars can look pretty nice with the right parts so what do u guys think?

 

A 73 wagon is a odd ball item, their is no money to be gained.. What ever you stick in it money wise your lucky to get 10 percent of it back. It cost just as much money to fix up a wagon as it does a charger or a challenger that year. That wagon will bring if your lucky 15 percent of another 2 door car that year will bring. Also on resale a wagon will only draw about 5 percent of the buyers market..

You can get lucky, I had a 69 ford wagon with a crazy paint job I got a smokin deal on. I sat on that car forever, everybody loved it, but did not want to buy it.. I got lucky some guy was into old campers and bought it to pull his camper to shows.

I think the wagon would be cool to own with some hop up mods, on the other hand that van is not much better for the resale market either.. If you like it and think you want to keep it go check it out.

 

good running 400 motor, trans, accessories worth maybe 1000. TRade ? I always figure I would come out on the short end..

 

I would do the trade as that wagon would make a killer sleeper. BB motor and tranny already in it, wagon back end so you could tub it easily enough, and you can still haul around your friends and/or stuff. Its ultimately up to you with what you want. This is just my opinion.

 

I bought a 67 Chevy Biscayne wagon a few years ago. It was all stock. Gold with a black interior, 3 speed stick! 283 with a posi rear end (complete with the tags on the drain plug). 67,000 miles. Very nice car. Very hard to sell. I basically gave it away for $1900 after almost a year of selling. Most don't want a wagon. Some think they will, until it comes time to pull the trigger. You will keep this thing like luggage! They are neat, but they are keepers.
