    C body plant to close

    It is sad to see the ICE cars go the way of the horse and buggy -- which they certainly will for the same reasons and potentially with some of the same negative consequences. After all, horses lost their jobs, too, and saw a significant population decline. Not to mention the blacksmiths and...

    C body plant to close

    I'd wager any of us that are alive 20 years from now will.

    No brakes! Pedal goes to floor with engine running.

    Like to see a link to a video where you talk about this.

    Considering a 1966 Fury

    Eh. The cold isn't bad. Nobody appreciates a 50 degree day in March more than the guy just coming out of a 3 week sub zero stretch. My 50 degree day is way better than the Floridian's 50 degree day.

    Dip stick?

    Sometimes when it's been a while since your car has been run, it's nice to be able to bypass all of the duel delivery including the fuel pump. An electric fuel pump is fairly cheap. Or, if you want to get real redneck, I have run them using gravity. Having spent a lot of my life working on...

    Considering a 1966 Fury

    I question that a little. I looked up my '64 Newport. They don't acknowledge the existence of the 361 AND they give a 10% DEDUCT for a 3 speed manual transmission. I've never seen a manual transmission in real-life in an early sixties Chrysler. If one had any type of manual, I've got to think...

    Considering a 1966 Fury

    In addition, it does look like efforts were made to make it road worthy. All brake lines appear to be new. There is a newer alternator in place. My assumption is that whomever worked on it did so in a fashion that they wanted to drive it and look good doing so... but either didn't have the...

    Considering a 1966 Fury

    I do appreciate all of the input. I haven't really been in the old Chrysler game for a long time. The acquisition of a 64 Newport through a trade inspired me to do a more extensive search for more while I'm not sure why I need a collection. I'm not really interested in learning body work...

    Considering a 1966 Fury

    I just came back from crawling around a 1966 Sport Fury. I'm considering purchase but am currently trying to decide what I ought to offer for it. Drivetrain appears to be original. 383 and an AFB. Torqueflite. Console shifter. V8 commando emblems on the side and a 383 hood ornament. It starts...

    Definition of C-Body

    There is something in history studies called 'presentism' which refers to the idea that we're looking at the past through the lens of the present. I fear the ponderings like this are doing just that. I wasn't yet alive in 1964 like my Newport was, but if I try to think what it was really like to...

    Definition of C-Body

    I remember driving my 62 Newport around as a teenager when a guy had a 63 New Yorker for sale. He wanted $1700 in 1989 dollars which was far too rich for me but I drove it and was instantly in love. In retrospect, now I'd love most to have that 62 back but that 63 always hung out in my mind as...

    Definition of C-Body

    What do we call the 62-64 bigger than b-bodies? Looking through the forum categories, it would seem that the forward look machines were done in '61. Obviously, they're not a slab-side. But, if you compare a 61 and 62 Chrysler, the only thing different is the fin. So, how are they classified...

    Wheels again

    Is that about an '05 Lincoln? If so, the bolt pattern is the same. The wheel should go on. The concern would be the offset. I've a hunch they might come real close to hitting the leaf springs. Not to mention that they'd look real goofy. Also that center bore might be an issue. I thought...

    What are you working on today??

    Just came in from the garage. Put the stock two barrel and intake back on the 64's 361. Then noticed the positive starter wire was loose on the starter itself. Also noticed somebody has put a later model mini starter on it. Wondered why starting didn't sound quite the same. But can't access...

    Chrysler Dog dish 1966-1968,

    Love the poverty caps. I don't believe they're stock on my '64 but I believe they could have been.
