Thanks for the info.It’s definitely a driver I didn’t even look at anything as far as matching numbers production numbers etc. I bought it because of the condition of the car , the looks and how it was equipped ESPECIALLY the 4 spd. The car runs and feels as good as it looks so I’m happy. As far...

I haven’t dug too deeply into engine availability but from my Mopar friends with brief conversations when they came to check out my new ride the 300 came with a 383 4 barrel that pumped out 325 hp in 66. I do know that compared to the brand new 67 Newport my father bought new which had a 383 2...

When I bought it there was a 383 4 barrel on it. Thanks

Yes, I did a bit of research and found the 66 had the 3 on the tree as the manual transmission available. I did talk to a few old Mopar guys and they told me they knew of a few workers that told stories of cars that were being built in the factory FOR workers OF the factory that were slipping...

Thank you. The car is in amazing shape underneath and rides very good with absolutely no squeaks or rattles. The 383 has a 670 Holley which suits the engine good it has stainless steel duals with just enough rumble that an American V-8 should have. The 4 speed shifts excellent it’s a close...

That’s interesting. The person that had to do the appraisal for insurance suggested the car was built at a plant in Delaware. Thanks

It does have duals but it’s a 383 4 barrel.

I just uploaded a pic of the VIN. Maybe it gives more info. Thanks

Interesting. I’m not sure who diff the change over but I’d like to shake his hand! He did a thorough job and his choices of colour were as if I’d picked them myself!. Thanks for the info.

Not sure but here’s a picture of the VIN

Here’s the fender tag.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don’t know a lot about the car. It came up for sale on kijiji. I’m in Northern Ontario the car was in Southern Ontario . What I do know is the same fellow had this car for 30 years, he passed away 3 years ago his wife had it in her father’s garage and she decided to sell...
