For reasons that are still unclear to me, I chose to build and run a '64 Plymouth Max Wedge station wagon. I've enjoyed the attention of being the oddest car at the track and I've never been one to back down from a challenge but Jeff is absolutely correct on all counts. When I was building it I had to reuse things that a Camaro owner could throw away. Did you know that tail lights are wagon only, not interchangeable between any years or models? When was the last time you saw any NOS back glass for a '64 Mopar wagon? Just opening a typical seized tailgate on a typical donor car becomes a daylong job when you absolutely must keep the glass intact!
The stuff that I can get is as bad as an AMX, we both have intense competition with the restoration crowd so prices are in the stratosphere. Not to mention many of them hate us for abusing the remaining parts on our race cars. I'm not going to even get started on building and maintaining a correct motor that the factory abandoned 47 years ago (after a three year run)...
