"Station wagons: there is no finer American institution." That's what David Freiburger wrote way back in 1998 as the editor of Car Craft magazine. Twenty years later, it's still true! Hot rodders love old station wagons, and surprisingly, many models can still be purchased cheaply. That's proven in this episode of Roadkill Garage as Freiburger scores a 1968 Chrysler Town & Country wagon for $1,800—and it has a 440ci big-block for power! It's soon dubbed the Gargantuwagon. Freiburger and Steve Dulcich show you how to give any old car a basic once-over before they also teach you how to give one a good thrashing without really hurting much. Soon it becomes clear that Dulcich's 1967 Pontiac Bonneville wagon from Episode 11 needs to come play along—and if two full-size American land barges are good, then three are better as Lucky Costa from the HOT ROD Garage show jumps in with his 1966 Plymouth Fury wagon loaded with 512ci of big-block power!

Steve Dulcich had big dreams for his 1968 Plymouth Barracuda, but then it burned to the ground in the California wildfires. Dulcich was devastated, and his buddy David Freiburger realized an intervention was needed. The answer: make the car live again! Every single piece of mechanically functional rubber and plastic in the car would need to be replaced; it would need basic rewiring; and the brakes, including every hardline, would need to be renewed. As for engine and trans, the guys could use the 400hp 318ci small-block that was removed from the Mopar Muscle Truck on Episode 15 of Roadkill Garage. All that needed to happen was to get the barbecued 'Cuda running and driving again and doing burnouts to lift Dulcich's spirits and give the car new life as the BBQuda!
