.....I know that they did not relabel the 1968 Darts and Cudas but I do not know about the 1965 cars...

i looked over a 65 a990 dodge back in 1967 and i think i remember seeing PRN123. the guy who owned it said there was a detent to keep it from going into third when it was pulled down. i made the same thing in my duster just by grinding the detent plate, worked slick. i could be wrong about the 3 its been so long ago. mike also this was on the steering column not on the floor

A990-motored Torqueflites were RN12D, no Park provision, according to 2 guys I know that received the cars new.
Not only did the shift quadrant not have Park but the park components in the tailhousing were also deleted, the tailhousing was a special casting with no provisions for park.

Both cars were A990 and purchased new. One from a local dealer. I knew that car well. The other not too far from here. One guy traded in a 63 Max Wedge car. The dealer did not want a car like that on the lot so the A990 buyer pulled the 426 out and installed a sellable 318. Sometime in 1965 a person went there, purchased a nice drivable 318 Belvedere for a couple of hundred bucks and drove it into the ground never knowing what it really was. One of the notices from Chrysler one guy received was on filling the muffler with ballast. He did so. The next weekend at Niagara it fell on the track. They thought it was so funny watching the track official drag a 150 pound muffler off the track.
