I have a 1960 Polara 2 door hardtop. This is a Canadian built car, and therefore has a number of differences from a US built car. Here's a few things that I noticed. 361 4 barrel engine. The US cars got the 383 4 barrel, but according to the Canadian service manual, all 122" wheelbase Dodges...

The 65 Monaco 413 4 speed is a cool car. There were quite a few C bodies with 4 speeds in Canada, because the B body was dropped for 1965. so if you wanted a big block 4 speed car, a C body it was. The B body returned in 1966. There were a number of 66-68 C bodies built with 4 speeds too though...

The Dodge trucks built in Canada in 72 and 73 were also painted apart, and had black rad support, inner fenders and hood hinges.

The Canadian 1960 Polaras have the same dash as the US cars. The Canadian 61 Darts use the Plymouth dash and seat upholstery. The 1960 Polaras are very uncommon in Canada. I think they sold around 2500 total of all body types. As af as I know, they didn't sell the Polaras in Canada in 1961, and...

Canadian built cars often had differences from their US built equivalents. Let's discuss, share photos and info about the Canadian cars. I just bought a 1960 Dodge Polara, Canadian built, and it has several differences from the more commonly seen US built Polaras. 1. Canadian cars were painted...

Thanks for all the replies. My thoughts on adding the park lever type mechanism, is that the dash is more or less the same on the 63 Dodge 880, so using that shifter could be an option. There is lots of room under the push buttons on a 60 Dodge dash, and the basic dash profile etc is similar on...

I'm planning to swap out the cast iron transmission from my 1960 Polara, to a 1963-1964 aluminum 727. I'll be converting to a 1963 383 and 65-69 C body rear end with rear wheel park brakes at the same time. The question I have, is what's the simple solution for adding the park lever into the...

Any updates about these panels being made?

I sure hope so!

Are there any reproduction rust repair panels available for the 60-64 Forward Look cars? Quarter panel patches, rockers etc? I've been into these cars for decades, but have yet to find any repro body panels other than the occasional misc piece. Specifically, wheel well area and lower quarter...

A friend bought a set of those for his 64, and he could not get them to clear. Maybe there are more than one maker of the eBay headers? He ended up using B body Magnum manifolds, and they fit very well, but, I don't think they will clear my long ram intake manifolds.

Has anyone found headers that fit the 60-64 Big Block full size cars? I have a 1960 Chrysler Windsor that I plan to put in a 413 with long ram manifolds on, and I would like to add some headers, or at least some better flowing cast iron manifolds. Anyone have experience and suggestions? Thanks

It is an often repeated myth that the cut outs were for spark plug access. For the cars with body coloured engine bays, the cut outs were needed to clear the long rams when the body drop happened on the assembly line. Cars with black inner fenders were painted in pieces, then assembled, so...

The floors can be fabricated without too much trouble. The pans are pretty much flat with some stiffening ribs. I have made them and as far as floors go, they are quite simple to fab

Small world Marko! You bought the car from me. hah!

Wheelbases on 60-64 full size Mopars: 60-61 Plymouths 118" large trans hump. 60-61 Dodge Dart models 118" larger trans hump. 60-61 Dodge Matador-Polara-880 models 122" large trans hump. 60-61 Desoto 122" large trans hump. 60-61 Chrysler 122" large trans hump. 60-61 Dodge and Plymouth wagons...

The 60-61 main interior floors have a large hump to accommodate the cast iron automatics. in 62, the hump was reduced in size. The 62-64 floors will fit right into the 60-61, as long as you don't need the large hump for transmission clearance. 64 Chrysler interior floors and trunk floors will...

Aside from emblem/moulding holes, the trunk lids are the same parts

Wow. That would be a cool car. Love to see photos or info

Yes, 62 NY was 126", and the rest were 122". The 60-62 126" cars use longer fenders, hoods, and stub frame and related bits
