Olds... Even being a F-85 (short wheelbase, short rear door, no sunroof)
The 71 Plymouth 4 door front ends are not very sporty or appealing. If it had a RR/GTX front end on it, that would be cool.
The Plymouth/Dodge B-body wagons had a cheap look that was a little outdated. The Sedan-like rear window surrounds is something from the early-mid 60's. And that continuous rain gutter that's not needed for the rear windows. Makes it look like the top of a Tin can.

Biggest motor you could get in B-body wagon was a 383/400.
Olds wagon had optional 455 from 70-72. And even rated at 365 hp in 1970, same as 442 std motor rating. The Colonnade 73-up wagons had 455 available to start too.

Like a previous suggestion, put a RR front end on it: Otherwise....

I'll admit we have one in the family. But I still think it's the best looking wagon wagons
IMHO best looking 60's and 70's wagons:
60-63 Chrysler hardtop wagons 70-72 Vista Cruiser 72-73 Monaco Wagon

ALWAYS the Mopar of course. But if I ever strayed, but I won't, I've said it would be an Olds. But I won't.

Another good looking powerful wagon: 1971 and 1972 Endura Front End (T-41) option. That's the GTO front end with scooped hood. 1971 LeMans Wagons with T-41 option 47 2 seater models 78 3 seat models ------------------------ 125 = 1971 total T-41 wagon production 96...350 2bbl 21..L65. 400 2bbl 7....L78 400 4bbl 1....L75 455 4bbl Zero... factory LS5 455 HO wagons (or 4 door LS5 A-body's of any body style) ***BTW the Pontiac's never got the extended wheelbase A-body station wagon's. Only 64-69 Buick and 64-72 Olds had those.

Sorry Pontiac here..... come on folks we all know what we get when we pick something just to be loyal we dont always end up with the best option. I was a loyal sucker to mopar in the 80-s for a daily driver but still had a 5.0 and GN to go fast with.
STOP POTATO HATE!

The 71 Plymouth 4 door front ends are not very sporty or appealing. If it had a RR/GTX front end on it, that would be cool. So, this is better? The styling difference between the 2 door B's and 4dr/wagon is what attracted me to the '71-'74 B's. There's a Hot Wheels out there of a '71 with a shaker scoop on it, never seen the actual wagon it was based of off. Me, I've wondered how it would look with the '73-'74 bulge grafted on (yes, I know the actual hood is different) or a 'two scoop' ' Cuda style scoops.

I was a loyal sucker to mopar in the 80-s for a daily driver but still had a 5.0 and GN to go fast with. Late 80's I had me a my first Diplomat AHB. Honestly wasn't bad with the factory Police 318-4 with the 360 heads and a quadrajet once the converters were removed along with the air pump. Not a race car but very enjoyable car to drive, and RWD, V8 Mopar with solid rear axle and t-bar suspension unlike most things they made then. Eventually it got one of their crate 360/300hp engines rated at 375lb/ft torque (but dynos showed more) and man that car would move with a 3.21 sure grip rear. I have another '89 AHB now with 408 and 3.21 rear and sure grip and is an absolute blast.
