Default Re: Real 1962 Plymouth Fury "Stocker"

These cars are so ugly that their cute.

I was at a Mopar Show at Atlanta when a retired Air Force Sgt. came in the gate with a '62 Dodge completely restored with the 413 dual quad motor and auto. The only departure from stock was 15 " cop wheels and tires.

He said he found it in a junk yard with the carbs, intake, original fuel lines in the trunk and a dead short block still bolted in the engine compartment.

The car was beautiful, original and ran like a down hill freight train. With stock exhaust and street tires he ran 14.20's all day long, that's street hemi times and he beat a few head's up.

I know there is a lot of discussion about this combo and the 383, 2x4 combo but they are both in the NHRA guide.
