What the ??? Another one followed me home... - 04/16/24 04:03 AM

Hasn't been licensed since '83. Definitely has a 70's street racer vibe. Velour accents (sun visors, top of door cards, headliner, etc), side pipes and Cragers with wide tires out back. Needs floor work and a patch in the cowl but there is no rust or filler in the body. The best part of the whole car is that all of the trim is there and undamaged (hood trim in front seat).

Not planning a full restoration, just get a nice 413 in it with the push button 727 and drive/race it.

I’ve always loved those ‘62 Dodge’s…never noticed those bumps/outlets(?) on the rear bumper before. Decorative exhaust tips? Good score and good luck btw!👍🏻

I already had its cousin for the last few years ('62 Fury) and drive it daily.

It's the opposite of what the Dart will be. This car is a 87K mile car with the 225 and push button.

I love it! Everything about it is so cool. A Virgil Exner classic. I love that you're not doing a restoration and instead making a driver. Perfect up

The bumperettes or bumper guards were optional and have rubber pads attached to their bases.

Dem cars (1962 Dodge and Plymouth B bodies) be UGLY, do you want to sell it whistling grin
I had a 1962 Plymouth Fury two door hardtop that had the complete max wedge exhaust system on it when I first saw it years before I bought it, it had a 361 motor in it back then I wish I still had it realcrazy

They're too ugly to sell, no one would want one grin

The Dodge had a 361 in it as well but the owner blew it up street racing it. It came to me with no engine in it but he gave me a rebuilt 413 to drop in it. Also got two '65 slip yolk push button transmissions with the car.
