    Original Owner Documented Survivor 1966 Fury III 383 Commando V8

    Thank you for taking the time and energy to share, nice way to start my Sunday morning! And kudos for doing some heavy lifting to bring this car back. Perfect example of the enormous amount of $$ and work even the best cared for original can take to bring back.. Certainly a worthy example! Enjoy...

    Another one followed me home! 1966 300.

    Wow, that would be my top pick for colors on a ‘66 and the car looks mint to boot! I’m really jealous that I missed that one if it came out of Colorado(!) If you decide that car is not for you, I would be happy to bring it back to the state :) Steve weim55 Colorado

    1960 Cast iron trans swap to aluminum 727 with park

    This was decades ago, but I can remember these details: Friend with a ‘62 chrysler and 727 died, another friend of ours worked in a transmission shop and set him up with a replacement and installed it. Replacement transmission was from a ‘63 and had the park provision. Picked up a park lever...

    C body HP 383 - same as B body??

    OK, lots of good information here. My main takeaway and question that I was most curious to answer: Camshaft. Would make perfect sense Road Runner cam would only be used in factory applications with no AC And the lighter A/B bodies.

    C body HP 383 - same as B body??

    CBody67 and others, thanks for the replies and information. It’s the actual components that differentiate (if any) 330 vs 335 383s that I was curious about. As you mention Cbody67, Camshaft, windage tray, unsilenced air cleaner, and mufflers Are the differences and enough to really up the game...

    Will a factory installed C body68-71 HP 383 include all of the same components as the B body (road runner)? HP Camshaft, windage tray, 906 heads etc. ? Steve weim55 Colorado

    15” Tires for my ‘62 300 - Thoughts?

    Are you aware of what Wheels I would need to find that would fit those 300G wheel covers? I was curious if later 60s 15 inch C body wheels might work better? Steve weim55 Colorado

    15” Tires for my ‘62 300 - Thoughts?

    OK, finally switched out the original 14” rolling stock for new Nexen AH5 whitewall 235/75/15s. Wheels are mid 70s. 15” OEM road/rally wheels that I sandblasted and painted topped w/ Nice set of 300 G wheel covers. While the wheel covers fit the later 15s” , they are a bit tight on the rim, and...

    YOM PLates

    My point exactly, of the hundreds of thousands of vehicles that go through those tolls per month the old vehicles with YOM plates is like a teaspoon of water in a bathtub. There are many other changes that have occurred in vehicle licensing that follow the same ‘Sweeping crumbs’ example but I...

    YOM PLates

    YOM plates have been legal for registration on vintage vehicles here in Colorado for decades. At the same time the population has exploded and I’ve noticed new lever turners at the DMV are scrambling to collect every last cent Possible. The latest “ improvement” is to outlaw YOM plates because...

    440 swap or build the 383?

    I would have a question for you, and then suggestion on how to reach your goals: Old guys like me that reached driving age in the malaise area of the 70s have a point of reference for “ performance” that is wildly different for younger people from the computer/fuel injection generation. A well...

    Your thoughts on paint color change 1966 Imperial convertible

    If you really start to add up the the extra labor to do a PROPER quality color change I don’t think it’s any exaggeration to say it’s easily double. A number of things will have to be removed from the car to execute that color change. Everything that you remove carries the risk of some sort of...

    I can’t answer your question personally, but : if you go to the 1961/1962 Chrysler Facebook page post a picture of your data plate and there’s a guy on there that is requesting as many of these as possible to put together consistent decoding. He will know which engine code yours is. Steve...

    Suggestions for a "Performance" muffler that isn't too loud

    I’m the guy that loves horsepower, but can’t stand loud exhaust. I played around with various types of exhaust systems to achieve what I like. On my 12 second 1/4 Buick GS I run long case Walker 17749 Mufflers through a 2 1/2 inch system. Very mellow and quiet. A mistake that I made: The system...
