62 Savoy - Post Car

That’s a sweetie. Wouldn’t mind having her in my garage....
 
That seems really cheap. Not very descriptive. I did a web search and couldn't find the "online ad". I did find a red 63 with a 528 in Chicago asking $22,500
Are those cars that cheap?

I've been watching the prices on the early B's and they do seem to be down a bit. They just don't get the attention of the Cudas, Challengers, Road Runners, Super Bee's etc. I think most people who didn't grow up with them find them too different. Just my 2 cents worth.
 
There are 2 cars of that model and era that come to Cruisin the Coast.
One is a 62 black, 426 Max Wedge crossram. The other is a red 63 426 HEMI.
They are beautiful, sound awesome, and I can't believe how little that era of cars seem to be selling for.
That is what I'd want if I switched "era" away from 68-71
 
Thats a real smokin deal for what you're getting, assuming its solid and legit. Would be the King Sleeper in just about any town. I'm guessing a non numbers car and probably not real MW heads, likely a clone, but it looks NICE!
 
Having a '63 Ply I've seen the prices decline some on older B's over past 10 years. The big $ ones are numbers matching and especially super stocks. More from the era are no longer around and meet more old guys at shows with their awesome 40 and 50's that they're selling before father time get's them. As a 9 year old remember my cousin's brand new Plymouth SF and his 426 Polara he raced. Looking at those cars were burned in my memory of how neat they looked and always wanted one. Finally got one in '95 that I restoed for big money and likely $15-20k more than I could sell it for. I do a dozen shows a year and rarely see other old B's...well still wish I'd a kept my '70 Cuda vert though!
 
The father/son black 1962 426 Max Wedge 4 speed and red 63 426 HEMI are SYMPHONIES of mechanical music!
The Max Wedge has the factory long, sweeping "cast iron headers" and dump plates, and hearing that roll through downtown Gulfport is outstanding! OTOH the mechanical lifters and the heartbeat of the 63 426 HEMI are just a different kind of beautiful music.
I absolutely love those cars!
 
Demographics are hurting the values of these cars. A 25 year old in 1962 is now 82 and probably not looking to buy. Was at a mopar drag race event this past summer watching Hellcats kicking these old mopars asses. Things are changing.
 
Would be nice if we could resto ourselves like we do cars...if ya live long enough ya get old.

That is FAR from the main draw of muscle cars! I LOVE the fact that :lowdown:MOPAR in the Hellcat, Demon, 1320, etc are at the top of power making motors, launch control, etc.
The new Challengers are also far and away the most accommodating 2 door 4 seater out there!
BUT
I love the big picture experience of my 70 Roadrunner. The sights, smells, sensations, sounds of big block, choppy cam, loud no cat exhaust is an emotional BONANZA for me.
Granted, at 58, those are the cars of my teens and younger years. When you take the smaller slice of the "muscle car era" from 1964 to 1971, think about ANY other 7 consecutive years of automobile production that made such a PROFOUND impact!
Even widening the margins, which I'm ok with, take the 10 years from 1961 to 1971. Absolutely profound impact that drives the styling and performance of today's most popular cars (that are not purchased just for utilitarian purposes).
There is a deep, deep emotional connection between the people, like me, who love the cars and everything that surrounded them that NO NEW CAR can bring! I don't remember the Plymouth Savoy or Max Wedge (other than reading about them in the mid 70s when I was researching 60s muscle cars). Having said that, the sound and look and all of the sensations I mentioned are MAGNIFIED by a well put together Max Wedge or 426 HEMI Savoy! The first time I heard the black 426 Max Wedge Savoy w/open headers roll down the street in between the tall buildings of downtown Gulfport, I was smitten!

Certainly with you on this - the old muscle cars have a deep set on my attachment to them and catching the closing years on the era were so cool I remember well. Cruising town with buddy's in our cars, hitting the drive-in's and outdoor theaters we still had then, dates, and the races out of town in da open country that's now subdivisions and strip malls. Our cars were are daily transportation. Suppose some of the fondness was being young and not worrying about what was going on around yet. Reminds me of the country tune 'Small town Saturday night'. On another note, much as I like GTO's (1st car I bought was a GTO) it's said this car was the birth of the 'muscle car'. Debate this as stuffing a big motor in a smaller car car didn't start with the GTO...in '63 you could get a Plymouth or Dodge with a 426. Maybe the badge 'GTO' was the diff as Mopar didn't give these cars a special emblem yet.

That's one of the reasons why I "stretched" the muscle car era timeline out to 1961. Keep in mind that Jim Wangers was a marketing guru, and he was relentless pushing out brand recognition for the GTO.

Total agreement with you. I love old cars and have many fond memories.

Yes true - I know I'm running off the topic; but interesting discussion thinking about the the older rides like the Pontiac Super Duty (61) Chevy 409 and the 413 was no slouch either...how the big 3 engineers must a lost a lot of sleep back in those days trying to one up each other.
