@truckr74 had some interior trim options too, one being a nice little gold tone piece on the wheel that said 100th aniversery or something like that. The 440 was also available in 4dr versions. 330 and 440 were coupes while the 500 was a hard top. 330 and 440 had a bench seat and either push button with the automatic, while the 500 got buckets and a floor shifter on the auto. 4 speed cars always got floor shifters but 3 speeds got tree shifters. 440 got AC as well I think... my 440 had AC

The polar 500 is the full dresser. It had a second line of Crome that was wider and had either black or machined infill in it sorta like trans am dash. It was a soft top meaning no frame around the windows and a very sexy crease across the 3/4 mark of the roof. There were also 3 tail lite lenses on each side the middle ones being reverse lites. Either car looks great to me. Definitely a favorite along with my 64 olds F85.

wished it had an auto 727 but, no doubt to the four speed

aluminum front end? original wedge? wish there was more info on this dodge

@Boredout454 The max wedge was also built as a 426 before it got the Hemi heads in 64

@Boredout454 The 426 was also a max wedge engine before it got the Hemi heads in 64.

Epic, yet largely forgotten time when the bodies were light and small and you could option for a big block. By the time Detroit caught on to the loophole it became a purpose built product sold with all the bells & whisles .........but the same advantageous power to weight was sacrificed in the process.

330 is the model of this Dodge that had only one chrome trim down the side.

The 440 Model [Not The engine size]had two chrome stripes down the side with color between them, both available with 426 Max wedge. 413 was 1962 only

Hemi's in that year had only two head lights and differant scoop

[Boredout454]

If its a 440 then its not the Max Wedge motor, the max wedge motors were 413 cubic inches and it was just the name given to it by dodge. While the 413 and 440 are the same block the are different names and came out at different times. But I love it, its beautiful. And during the 60's they dominated muscle cars and the drag strip. Becomin some of the fastest cars ever produced.

the 330 was the bare bones, minimal trim, benchseat, sedans.

[truckr74]

if i remember right, the 440 was a trim upgrade from the 330. it had a little more chrome on the dash and body panals. but I might be wrong.

I have no idea, its is my friend's car.

I used to have a 64 chrysler new yorker with a 413 . I did minor work to the engine (cam , headers , head work , intake work , carb was replaced with new afb ,accel coil , mopar perf electronic ignition) . the elec ign was the single best thing I did to that car. The car was a big heavy ugly one wheel wonder , but I freaked the wannabe's in their mustangs out when I caught them LOL .

[moparXdarren]

i love this, drive to the track, spank some mustangs, drive it home:) i would rather see it with a max wedge-style scoop, rather than a hemi-scoop, but its bitchin none the less!!!

[summitdrinker]

what's the fastest it ran time and speed wise before it broke ? what ya have for gears in it?, tranny?

[hman0007]
