I saw at least one of those this week and i showed my son how cool that car looked from the back. It looks so space age. It should have been used in back to the future movies

Looking at it now you can see where they were heading with the mid 60s models

Mike i like the stance on that white one. I though they looked to much like they were trying to get away from the 50s with the show room 62s. I always thought if i ever got mine which i did and it only took untill i was 50 and the car had been in the garage almost as long that it needed a beefier look. Of course being a convertible its not a race car But what do you thing of creating that stance with tires on the 62 convertible. I didn't want to get into any major suspension changes

Very nice example of a 62 Savoy owned by a nice man named Barry Ward he claims it is an original 383 that was a special fleet order for the PD. It was showing at Florida Mopar last week

62 parts are hard to come by as many are not interchangeable. Im looking for a couple pieces to upgrade. Head light bezel, hood, some stainless trim, rear chrome belt mouldings and the piece i absolutely can not find is metal header bracket that holds the rubber between the carriage and windshield. I understand they all rusted out because the where the water would sit. It will only fit dodge/ plymouth convertibles 62-63
I bought my 62 361hp engine from Barry Ward, he was selling it because he was putting in his 62 a 383 2/4 set up and did not need the 361.
May not be the same car through.
motor in my 62 max clone a 500 strkr 4-30,s big solid cam cheeter slicks and no seat belts

Thats funny because i questioned it when he told me it was original. I have a 383 in mine and i don't know of any documentation showing any put in original in 62. I then walk over to Joe Suchey and told him. He said i have never herd of that and Joe probably knows more about 62-65 b body's than anyone alive
Yep. I can take them out. There weren't any 62's that I could see. Not many early B bodies. Of course it is the "Muscle car" nationals. A dual quad 413 in a 62 Dart wasn't a muscle car? LOLMike, they're '63s, wrong thread!
Still nice to look at though.

No, don't take them out. It's crazy to see the changes made to the '63. Good comparison photos to see.
The '62 was a big gamble to start with, downsizing the model to compete with the other manufacturers that were rumored to be doing the same but didn't. It still amazes me to think of all of the tooling that was created to make a vehicle for just one year, and not reuse them the following year.

I made plenty of runs against this one in days gone past.

I'll have to pull out some drawings my Dad did in styling. I think that is one of his drawings.

That would be really cool.

1 of the few to have survived in Australia; where only 200 were available. Note the Fratzog (I think that's what they are called) horn button but with a stock Plymouth dash.
