Rescuing a classic vehicle that has sat idle for decades is not an easy task. Enthusiasts undertook to tidy up the car in 1976
The most common reason classic cars are left to rot is that they are likely to cost more to repair than they are worth. Michael Wagner is a vintage car mechanic and collector who restores abandoned classics on a budget and is willing to put in the time and effort to save them.
He recently stumbled across a forgotten 1976 Chrysler Town & Country that has been sitting idle since 1991. The station wagon was produced by Chrysler from 1940 to 1942 and following World War II from 1945 to 1988.
At one time, this car was quite popular. The three-row station wagon can seat up to nine people at a time, making it the perfect family car.
Fortunately, this Chrysler Town & Country has not been completely destroyed by time. Under the hood, it had a powerful 7.2-liter V8 engine, which was paired with a 3-speed A-727 automatic transmission. Engine power was 203 hp. and 420 Nm of torque.
The two-tone classic station wagon has partially peeled woodgrain paint on the sides of the body. Michael spent two days to remove the “wood texture” and get a uniform blue surface.
The tailgate was the only rusty part of this 1976 Chrysler Town & Country. Michael is going to completely restore this station wagon. There is still a lot of work to be done, but the next step is to get all the electrical working properly and find the missing trim pieces. He also needs a new alternator and a fresh set of wheels.
