Because I grew up in the 1960’s, I’ll always be sentimental about station wagons. They were a common site in many driveways and car ports across America. But they usually led a pretty hard life and many weren’t around to celebrate their tenth birthday. Here’s a rare survivor that is original and celebrating its 60th birthday. And, according to the owner, the AACA, and other Mopar car clubs, it’s the only known Gold Stripe wagon with a Dress-Up Package known to exist in its original, unmolested condition.

The current owner bought the car 31 years ago from the original owner’s estate. It had 83,000 miles on it and has been regularly maintained and pampered. The wagon currently has 109,000 miles on the clock. The Dodge is in impressive condition to be six decades old. It is described as rust-free with a solid body, solid floors, and a solid frame. The original white paint is presentable as is the chrome, trim, glass, and the optional Clark Griswold-approved roof rack.

The Dodge’s original two-tone brown interior is in amazing condition. The steering wheel, instrument panel (with its iconic push button automatic transmission), and dash all look great. Two levels of trim (330 and 440) were available in 1964 with the 440 having a more luxurious all-vinyl interior and nicer carpet. The front and rear bench seats look great as do the side panels and the cargo area that boasted 84 square feet of cargo space. The owner states that the wagon’s power tailgate window is in good working order and in the “Needs Attention” department, the seller shares that the wagon’s left rear door is currently stuck, the driver’s remote mirror adjustor is stuck, and there’s a slow leak in the power steering system.

Under the Dodge’s white hood is the durable 318-cubic inch V8 engine. It’s original, uses no oil, has 109,000 miles on it, and is mated to a Torqueflite automatic transmission. The owner says the Dodge needs a carburetor overhaul (a correct overhaul kit is included) and that the oil pressure gauge works 90 percent of the time. The wagon comes with a lot of documentation and maintenance records and several storage tubs of NOS and used parts. This rare Mopar long roof is currently residing in Hartwell, Georgia and is for sale here on craigslist with an asking price of $32,900. A big thank you to T.J. for sending this special Dodge 440 Station Wagon our way. The seller will also consider partial trades for a 1974-1975 Imperial 4-door sedan or hardtop, a 1974-1977 Chrysler Town & Country, or a 1975-1977 Dodge Royal Monaco wagon in similar or better condition. It’s been decades since I’ve seen a 1964 Dodge station wagon. This could be the nicest original survivor left.
