Re: August's Mopar of the Month



US 30 brings back memories. Raced there once in 1963 but mostly went to Union Grove, WI. I ran C/Gas with an Olds J-2 as well as C/Mod Stock with 55 Chevy.  Now it is just Mopars.  Not sure I will ever race again, but love the idea of owning a 63 dodge or plymouth with that 4 speed you mentioned

Don:

That is one beautiful car. I remember the first time I saw a 426 with a four speed on the way to the drags at Rt. 30, Gary , In. I poked my head in the window of a Plymouth 426 4 Speed at the breakfast place where everyone stopped on the way to the drags.

My first thought was that shifter is a mile long, cool. Most of the four speeds I drove were short shifter Willys Jeeps, 2 seater,  at the service station and Corvettes when friends wanted to drive my Dad's 62 4 door Dart on  dates. I do not know who got the better deal them or me. They always returned the car in tact  and clean and I always returned their Corvette, 61 Fuel Inj or a 63 327 FI 360 Hp Conv., with a functional 4 Speed. By the way I never used the clutch when shifting those Jeeps. The Corvettes I always used the clutch with out taking my foot off the gas pedal when ever it was possible.

I digress.  What a great car.

What type of paint did you use?  I am getting closer to the body aspect of the BAM Project. My service manual said Acrylic Enamel was the paint for the 1965 Dodge.

Congrats to list member Don Owen and his '64 Belvedere - August's car of the month!  Be sure to check it out - looks great, Don!  Don and I have exchanged emails and talked on the phone over the past year or so.  Our cars came with the same paint and interior colors (except mine with a white top).  Mine is a hardtop, and Don's is a sedan.  Not many '64 Plymouth sedans are Belvederes - most are Savoys.  Don's looks great - and a 426, 4-speed car to boot!
