If you’re one of these people who believe that the end of days is right around the corner, then you had better start getting ready because 2012 is less then a year away. To survive in post-apocalyptic America, you’re going to new a badass buggy to get around. Sure, you could just stick with your old Mustang or Charger, but the end times will probably require a little more versatility.

This 1956 Plymouth wagon that Jalopnik found on eBay looks to us to be the perfect wasteland transportation, and it is even painted an appropriately drab military green. What more could you want for an end-of-the-world vehicle?

Actually, this vehicle is more Chevy pickup then Plymouth wagon. The ’56 wagon body sits on the frame of a 1991 Chevy pickup truck. The fuel injected 350 engine from the Chevy now powers this bad ass Plymouth, and a five-speed manual transmission means you’ll be shifting in style through the ashes of the modern world. While you might think finding parts for this beast might be difficult (and the curved windshield glass that this wagon needs might be hard to find) since it is mostly a Chevy underneath spare parts will be easy to come by.

Aside from the windshield, the 4×4 on this wagon works and it has all the modern amenities the original Plymouth lacked, including power steering and power brakes. We’d be hard pressed to find a better, more bad ass post-apocalyptic Plymouth, don’t you agree?
