The Original poster has not been on for 2 months but he said he was not looking to Flip and wanted to talk with Mopar guys, But on every Forum i see him on i never see him talk, Just trying to sell cars. I think i will Call him a Bullshit Artist
Have any pics of the data plate? If that pumpkin came out of the Monaco that you say had 3:55's I can tell you that it certainly was not factory. Best you could do was 3:23's. I am still looking for 100% verifiable PROOF of any '65 Monacos with a factory 426W and 4 speed that do still or once existed. So far, besides mine, I have not seen any yet. Not saying they are not out there or once existed, but proof is in the pudding(paper work).
9 pages, 166 posts and 9 months and counting....Don't count on it................. Hows about some pics?
here are some pics from today. PM me. I'll have to see what he wants for the thing too.I've gotta say I have some interest, what price range are we talking? If not the whole car, then maybe pieces of it. I do have the benefit of a couple parts cars laying around............. Hows about some pics?
I have have 3 65 300 L's. All 3 have code of 99.Strange how ma Mopar would use a different radiator # for just the 413/426 & not the same for all the big blocks of that year. Thanks for the info. NOW you have us excited. The reason I asked the radiator value is because the old timer said years ago a guy offered him $500 for it- of course he said no.
Very odd then with the 99 engine code if it's the 426W car.
I'm not too concerned about the restoration cost (to a point). Been there/ done that. Thanks guys for all the research so far! I'll see if I can't expedite the whole deal.
the 4989 radiator is std on ANY 65 4 speed engine, 383,413,or 426. It has no provision for A/T trans line fittings at the bottom of the tank.The radiator was used in automatic transmission applications as well. It would not have to come from a manual transmission car. It would, at one time, probably been a very common replacement part.
If I come across as a little frustrated, I am. Of all the people involved in the thread, you have the greatest access to documentation and the actual car. You've had the best opportunity to see, feel, smell and document the car. You have access to the window sticker....yet you keep asking US for info. We're working with one hand behind our back when you have access to they key.
Just ask for a copy of the sticker and see what it says. That is the most critical piece of evidence out there. Get that FIRST then worry about all the other stuff.
Start with what you CAN prove, not with what you CAN'T. If the WS is not for this car, then we can start to piece things together.
None of the parts, WIW, this, that or the other thing matter until you find out how it was born.
It's a cool find and worth looking into but let's start with the facts.
I always thought chrome valve covers came on any HP motor.
300 site info from 30 years ago and ever since. I never understood it either. I will ask the club. Good questionTom, where is it indicated your 413's are 365 hp? Tags? Labels? Paperwork ?
Just noted the C3 413 with "special cam" listed in above excerpt from part manual.the 4989 radiator is std on ANY 65 4 speed engine, 383,413,or 426. It has no provision for A/T trans line fittings at the bottom of the tank.
That's why they are so valuable. 4986 is not used on manual trans car.
Again, my experience and opinions. I could be wrong.
I'll look up in 65 parts manual to verify.

Never noticed that before! It's C3 only, that means Chrysler 300.
Now, I have to go scour engine part of manual for this C3 413 "special cam"
