Here’s another barn find, coming to you from YouTube channel Adventures Made From Scratch, but this classic car is a little different from the rest. Not because of its condition, which is typical given its recent history: sitting outside in the worst the elements have to offer, and 20 years off the road.
But its aesthetic is what makes it special, for this is an 8-door station wagon, and with 4 rows of seats it is (or was) immensely-more practical than your standard limo.
See the entire video to see the host go off on interesting tangents including mushroom hunting, and there are more satisfying surprises in store when it comes to flattening cars with a crusher.
The Plymouth Suburban 8-Door Station Wagon
After updating regular viewers of his channel on the latest developments, which include receiving more junk metal to get crushed, the YouTuber goes off in search of the abandoned classic car.
It turns out to be an 8-door Suburban station wagon, and the good news is that it is complete, although its condition requires a complete restoration and substantial repair.
As with most barn finds, this Plymouth is rusty, although its panels are mostly intact, and the all-important rows of seats inside are there. A door for each passenger in a group vehicle like this is an intriguing idea, and large families would surely love to see it reappear on certain vehicles as an option. Either way, a muscle car restoration build with performance parts in such a car would turn heads on the drag strip.
Luckily, it’s also got a 7.2-liter V8 under the hood, although it may well need a whole new engine at this point.
