There are bigger, heavier, and longer cars that aren’t station wagons, and we’ve seen quite a few of them here on Barn Finds. At 19 feet, though, this 1977 Chrysler Town & Country Wagon is big, heavy, and long. It’s also in need of a bit of cosmetic work, as you can see. It’s posted here on craigslist in Parksville, British Columbia, Canada, and the seller is asking $4,200 ($3,000 U.S. dollars). Here is the original listing, and thanks to Curvette for the tip!

Putting white letter tires on a gigantic luxury car is something my dad would have done. They look a bit out of place here, but then again, maybe not. The seller says this car spent several years as the daily driver for a local racing legend in Cassidy, BC: Joe Pullen. Mr. Pullen was instrumental in starting the Cassidy Speedway. I don’t know if the Joe Pullen name adds anything to this car, monetary value-wise, but for those in the far left corner of Canada, maybe some sentimental value.

You can see that there’s a lot of work to do if a person wanted to bring this Town & Country back to like-new condition again. A lot of work, and a lot of money. The sixth-generation Town & Country was made from 1973 for the 1974 model year until the end of 1977. This was it, Chrysler’s last big wagon. The follow-up eight-gen T&C was based on the smaller M-body LeBaron and was a very nice car. I actually prefer those cars, but I’m weird. The version after that was based on the K-car and was front-wheel drive, so a totally different animal, but still a nice car. I wonder if a 440 V8 would fit in a K-car Town & Country?…

The first thing I noticed on the interior photos, or photo, as there is only one photo showing the front passenger seating compartment or the dash, is that this dash looks a bit different. The seller says it’s out of an Imperial LeBaron. I’m not sure why that is, but it looks a little rough around the edges. Not to mention the color/colour difference. The standard vinyl seats look perfect in the back, but you can barely see some seam separation on the driver’s side in the photo above. This car doesn’t have power windows, something that always floors me in a top-of-the-line luxury car of the 1970s.

I don’t see an air-conditioning compressor here, but the average consumer in the 1970s didn’t seem to need (heavy drama) air-conditioning, along with power windows, and all of the other standard features we all have now. They were typically optional back then, and we somehow fought wars and lived and died without them. Go figure. According to page 13 of this brochure, the 440-cu.in. OHV V8 was the only engine available for this car in 1977. Other sources show a 400 as also being available. It had 195 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. Sent through a TorqueFlite automatic, the seller says it has a fresh Edelbrock 600 carb and a ton of new parts, including new ball joints, tie rod ends, exhaust, master cylinder, front calipers, and much more. At $3,000, if you’re in the U.S., that is, this seems like a good price for so much car. Any thoughts on this Town & Country?
