1963 Dodge Polara 500 ( The Gambler 1)

[Yournewtreasureawaits]

Looking for information i.e. pics, video, stories anything on this car. As far as I know it never left CA, I saw some paperwork from the 64' or 65' Winter Nationals that is was runner up in a stock class. Owner at the time went By "Hoppy Hopkins" his wife raced the car. It was a Polara 500 HC Max Wedge car campaigned with a 383 I think. The pic was at Irwindale, again I think. Thanks in advance.

No. It is an original 330 hp 383 / 4-speed with the Borg-Warner T-10. Original block and heads were used for the build and that's about it from the original drive train. It was beyond a basket case in 1993 when I bought it.
