Default Re: "7" Plymouth's You Just Had to Have.

My favorite car was my 65 Plymouth Satelite, 383 4 speed. Thats all I could afford at the time. Traded it in for a 69 Plymouth, 4 speed GTX. If I could go back in time, my choice would be a 64 Savoy. After 69, I really didn't like any of the body style's that Plymouth hade to offered.

My favorite Plymouth would have been a '64 Valiant S/S car that came with a Stage III Wedge/727/8.75" powertrain, with an aluminum front cap, and mini tubs.

But Ma was all about B Bodies, and the new Hemi, and never built it....

I think this combo might have kicked the Hemi's ***... Maybe they thought so too... and, that's why we never saw one.

In early 1972, I found a "rolled-over" '71 Dodge Demon with that exact powertrain (4-speed) in a junkyard (13,000 miles on the car) and bought the whole shebang from fan to rear end (3.91) for $500.00 and dropped it into a '64 Valiant 2-door sedan.

Everything just bolted in, including the driveshaft, which I never understood, because the Demon's wheelbase was 2" longer.... I only had to change the speedometer cable and the oil pressure sending unit (and run the lower radiator hose to the other side.)

With some 7" slicks left over from my sedan delivery days, and fenderwell headers (the stock manifolds were too wide), a 4.56 gear and a Lunati, "Riddler" cam, it ran mid-12's.... with the otherwise stock engine. This one came with a 750 cfm Thermoquad (first year for it.)

A fun street car for very little $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

My personal all-time favorite Mopar (other than a SS/AH car) is a 1967 RO23 Street Hemi Plymouth. I think it came from seeing slides as a kid of the Maddia Brothers '67 car (now Danny Smith's) SS/DA.

My favorite Chevy body is a 1966 Chevelle (because of Dan Scott's car in the real NMCA Pro Street wars).

Ford, probably a '68 Cobra Jet Mustang convertible would be my dream car.

1. 440 six pac cuda with the high impact orange
2. AAR cuda
3. 71 Duster 340 4sp
4. 63 Max Wedge Wagon
5. 66 Hemi Wagon
6. 69 1/2 road runner six pac
7. 70 Hemi Superbird

Too bad it's not Dodges too. An orange 69 Charger with a Hemi and "01" on the side and confederate flag on top would be cool for A or B/SA Might have to talk to Travis to allow the front grill guard though.

Unfortunately, Santa Claus only limited me to a Lucky '7'.
Many other great choices out there.
I had to put the 69' 440 Cuda "M" Code in their, because I had one.
For shear excitement, the 69' Cuda was a monster, mainly because you weren't sure if those little drum brakes would stop the car.
And manual steering too, like driving a truck.
Not the greatest car to drive for a long distance, but for a mile or so, like the 'wildest'' roller coaster ride.
I miss that car!

Steve Hagberg,
Yes, the 1964 A-864 Savoy Race Hemi is probably the rarest. All aluminum nose, 'doors', front radiator support, and some with an
aluminum bumper. The first with 'Corning' glass, and liteweight seats. The lightest of the early cars at #3200 lbs.
With an automatic transmission and 4.56 gears, would make an excellent 'Sunday Go-To-Church-Car'
