Hmm, what would be with the '57 wheel in the '62?

Pretty much identical to the one in my '63 Fury.

The ’61 wheel was something – the Jetson’s like. Had done some checking on the history of these wheels a while back, which models had them. Found no info about this one in a ’62 Dart. Some were disappointed when Mopar dropped them. People liked the flat bottom wheel getting in and out of the...

A fellow member had posted this photo of a '62 Dart wagon pertaining to another topic. When I saw the rectangular steering wheel was surprised as I wasn't aware of this wheel being a stock item on the '62 Darts? Ma Mopar had these unique wheels for a few years; but didn't think they were on...

Had read Landy was a fan of the pushbutton TF having had a set from his ’64 racer installed in his ’65 when mopar ended the button shift. From the photo (post #3) looks like this could be one of those in his ’65 Dodge. Viewing photos of one his ‘64’s, seemed as though he had them mounted on the...

Exactly, disassembly MONTHS or longer before. And all those labeled baggies of screws, bolts, fasteners, etc. I tried so carefully to keep organized when it came time for re-assembly...then found out it was a good effort, but not - great..

Don’t reinstall stuff in the wrong sequence requiring removing it again to install the item that needs to be installed FIRST.

Welcome from a fellow WI-nite. Awesome Plymouth! I have a '63 Fury vert I restored a few years ago. Just that you'd have to give me an eighth mile lead in the quarter...maybe more.

After restoring 3 vehicles, acquired an appreciation for what’s done and otherwise. This would get into what decisions are made during the nitty-gritty process for one reason or another, to do it right, not so much, or not at all. Always some things encountered I didn’t expect…more time, more...

Looks nice and even though the six, it is well-equipped. How did he lose on the deal? Seems this car would easily go appreciably higher.

You can do LOTS of reading about engine oil suggestions doing a search on the forum. Due to my build, a higher zinc formula is called for. I did considerable research on oil and made a decision to lower the oil weight I was using finding the oil pressure always high and some unnecessary...

Don’t know much about it either, but heard there is a rigid commission price the buyer pays on top of the sale price not discounting cost to the seller to put it up for auction. Maybe around 10% commission? Also heard that in order to close a sale, there has been some bargaining by the auction...

Good luck with your '63, I have one I finally restoed a few years ago. As some here have mentioned, a restoration is never 'complete' and can say that's an accurate comment, lol.

In my hunt to lower engine temp I found an OEM shroud my car had as a fleet package/AC. I installed this. Went from a 4-blade to 7 fan. Did several other things though, getting the desired result before opting for a larger radiator. Got a bit concerned about after-market shrouds reading some...

Could have hooked up little motors to the sunroofs making them flap like wings, but maybe not...wouldn’t want to ruin the look of the car...
