Omni -- You might try the web page of the Chrysler 300 Club International, Inc. In the "Parts for Sale" section, para. 11 has the following: Reproduction Chrysler 300 air cleaners. Both round and oval styles to fit 58 thru 64 dual 4 bbl cars. Cleaners are steel as original and painted correct...

Lads -- In the 1961 model year, the Dart Pioneer was available in five body styles: 4-dr sedan-6P, 2-dr sedan-6P (unofficially called a 2-dr post), 2-dr HT coupe-6P (2-dr hardtop), 4-dr station wagon-6P, and 4-dr station wagon-9P. The ram car above would ordinarily be called a "2-dr post." The...

Steve -- I try to hit some of the events here in Colorado Springs, mostly the Saturday morning cruise-ins and any MOPAR thing. I don't go down to Pueblo (and other southern Colorado cruises) that much although I like Pueblo's River Walk show and the shows in Florence and Canon City. I used to...

Lads -- FYI, here's the 1960 Plymouth version in my '60 Fury survivor. It doesn't have the fender well cutouts mentioned in the video because it is a very early production car that may well have been a "mule," but both the factory build record and Darrell Davis' book certify it came off the...

65 -- I'm another old fud like your dad (perhaps a year older) and could you ask him a question for me? What's his take on the '59 DeSoto Adventurer 2X4V 383 being advertised at 350 HP, but the same 383 CID 2X4V engine in the '59 Dodge D500 at 345 (both engines came out of the same plant, the...

Lads -- I don't drive my Beast full time because that ram-inducted engine runs on the primaries of both 4V carbs ALL the time, so it gets about 11 MPG on the highway and 8 in town if, and that's a very big "if," I can keep my right foot under control. But the real kicker is that although I...

Lads -- For some odd reason, perhaps so the swells in the Italian, German, and British exotics could see what the common folk drove, I was invited to show the Big-Tailed Beast at the 40th Colorado Concours d'Elegance in Denver (actually Littleton) yesterday (09-10-2023). It was great fun as...

Lads -- Some comments: - I have a '60 Fury with the SonoRamic (note the spelling, especially the capital "R") Commando engine. You can see in in the photo of the mill in my Big-Tailed Beast that it doesn't have the wheel well cutouts, but the build record I got from Chrysler shows that it came...

Mr. C: I concur. There are a couple of pics of my '60 Fury here in 4CBO which show the correct '60 Plymouth wheel covers. My Fury is a twin to the Cold War Motors car but is an unrestored survivor with the SonoRamic Commando mill. You may also have seen the Big Tailed Beast on Dennis gage's...

1960 -- Be careful. When I told my wife I wanted to get a '65 Sport Fury that was a twin to the one I had when I was dating her, she was in full agreement so it's now in my garage. But then after the deal was done, she then lowered the boom by saying if I was going spend all that money on...

Lads -- My first '60 Fury that I acquired in May of that year did not have seat belts, but because I wanted to drag race in a stock class, the NHRA and AHRA both required them. To comply with the rules, all I had to do was buy a couple of seat belts from a local auto supply store, which I did...

Lads -- My 300C, but I like its engine compartment and the one of my '60 Fury SonoRamic Commando better. Joe Godec '57 Chrysler 300C, '60 Fury SonoRamic, '65 Fuelie Vette, '65 Sport Fury 426S/4-speed

Lads -- A neat car, but as the owner of two SonoRamic (note the capital "R") Commando Furys (one now and a similar one back in 1960-1964) I have to offer the following: - Those Kelsey-Hayes wires don't really belong on that car for a number of reasons. First, wires were never a Plymouth...

Lads -- They should have mentioned that the six 300F Specials that Chrysler sent to Daytona for the 1960 Speed Week all, repeat ALL, shattered the "Flying Mile" speed record, with the one driven by Gregg Ziegler clocked at 144.927 MPH (the slowest was just behind at 141.509). This record, which...

Lads -- If you ever get a chance, make sure you take in the "Caffeine and Chrome" free show at Gateway Classic Cars in Englewood, on the south end of Denver. It's a high-end nationwide dealership and each store sponsors this free show on the last Saturday of every month from 9-12.00 AM. I took...

Lads -- Back in those days, dealers (to say nothing about factory execs) could do marvels with the "999" code. There was a stick '60 383 4V Belvedere 2-dr H/T back in my old home town of Pueblo, Colorado that I used to tangle with on occasion (with my SonoRamic Commando and TorqueFlite '60...

Lads -- In 1960, my dad made the terrible mistake of letting his 17-year old son go along when he was looking for a new car. Dad was always a Plymouth guy, but the new Dart was getting a lot of publicity, so our first stop was at the Dodge dealer. That guy had a beautiful blue Phoenix 2-dr H/T...

Lads -- Back in 1960-1964, I had a '60 Fury with the SonoRamic (note the capital "R") Commando engine that I thoroughly abused on street and strip. The first time I took it back tp the dealer to have it tuned, I was quoted a price of 5 bucks a plug to change them. The shop foreman told me that...

Dave -- Here's a thought for you: Those '59 2X4V 383s for DeSoto and Dodge were advertised at 350 and 345 HP respectively although they were the same engines coming out of the same plant. In '58 the 2X4V 361s were said to be 345 for DeSoto and 320 for Dodge -- again, the same engines. So I...

Dave -- Actually, in 1960 the "big" engine for Plymouth was supposed to be the ram-inducted 361 CID/310 HP SonoRamic Commando, but when Dodge came out with the Plymouth-sized Dart that year and had the ram 383 available as well as the 361, Plymouth dealers started crying "foul", so early on in...
