Re: rare 383?

And the 1965 Dart Charger was NOT a factory offering, but a California dealer inspired package. The Charger nameplates appear to be something designed by someone not connected with auto styling.  Look more like a paperweight than nameplate.   Some models also had stripes on the hood and trunk.  All other equipment on the car was straight off the options list, including the 273-cid V8.

Chrysler had problems fitting the poly 318 in the engine bay on the A body engine bay.  There was absolutely no room for a B block engine in there.

Also do not know where the 180 number came from.   As it was a dealer package there was no separate sales code for it  The only thing I have heard about production is that they ordered more nameplates than they had car orders.
