Tell us your rear facing back seat station wagon stories!

Back in the early 80's, a good friends grandfather passed away. My friend called me to help him sell off some of the grandparents cars, they had 18 cars between their 3 houses & farm. We managed to sell off all but a 72 Ford Ranch Wagon, no one wanted it because first off, it was a long roof car & second it was a 429 car & wasn't running. I made a deal & bought the car, I drug it home & delved into it. Some how, something dropped down & sheared 3 teeth off the cm & 5 teeth off the distributor gear. I replaced them & got it running, but while doing so I found out the it was a 429 CJ engine. My wife at the time had 2 kids & their favorite thing was to ride in the rearward facing seat & wave at everyone we passed on the highway. I really enjoyed the wagon, it would pass everything but a gas station. One weekend, the wife was out getting groceries & got T boned, no one was hurt but the wagon. I had it drug home & it sat in the back yard until I found a 71 LTD convertible with no engine or transmission. I pulled the drive train from the wagon & transplanted it in to the vert. Shortly after the swap, we went through a pretty messy divorce. Luckily I was able to keep my truck, the vert & my 64 Sport Fury 426 wedge car. Sadly, I no longer have any of those cars but have been through many others until I ended up with my 71 Demon bracket car, a 2000 2500 Ram truck, a 2005 Dodge Caravan & my current wife's 2016 Chrysler 300S.
