Re: {Chrysler 300} 1962 Max Wedge Dart - Bring A Trailer

It's the original 361. I believe the 2x4 setup was a dealer install as I've never found any factory literature that mentions it. The carbs are the same number as 300 H. If any of you have any info on this please let me know.  When I purchased the car the 2x4 setup was in the trunk, and the single 4 setup was on the engine.  Single 4 intake had been painted a different color. An acquaintance I knew remembered the car when it was new and confirmed the 2x4 setup. The car was purchased new at Jonh Drew Motors in Sacramento.  I believe the 343/383 was also a dealer package that qualified for NHRA class racing. Not much has been written about these.

Is that the 383/343hp ? I went to college with a guy that had that, also in a ‘62 Polara 500 convertible . The bracket racers loved that engine in the ‘62 B bodies

I'll make it legit for you Kurt. I did something similar in 2007 but I used a 300 F engine, kind of. Yes the 62 Dodge is exceptionally ugly. But the 61 Plymouth in that regard is spectacularly ugly.

I know, I know...not a Letter Car but a cousin?  I'm going with that...sold today for $51K on Bring a Trailer.

This is an enjoyable video - fast forward to 10:34 for the punch line.  Oh if I were only old enough to have had something like this back in the day!
