Hello all. Long time Mopar fan. My grandpa was a Chrysler/Plymouth dealer in Olympia, Washington in the late 40’s and 50’s. My dad still owns his 1952 Chrysler Saratoga with the first gen Hemi 331 that he drove new off the railroad delivery car. I own 39 and 40 Plymouth trucks, 49 Plymouth Convertible, Coupe and 2 door wagon, 68 Charger R/T,
a 72 Scamp and a 2009 Challenger R/T Classic B5 Blue six speed. My latest addition to the garage is a two owner 70 Challenger R/T 383/727 column shift in Burnt Orange interior and exterior. Bought by a High School junior in 1975, he drove it until 1982 and then parked it. He died a few years ago, and after a couple of years of persuading, his daughter finally agreed to sell the car. The original 383 is gone, but it came with three 440 blocks. I have a running 383 that I will be mating to the original 727 once my tranny guy is done with the overhaul. I found the broadcast sheet under the passenger seat. It came with rallye wheels, so I just bought a set to replace the Cragar SS unilugs that he had installed.
