    "The weaker V6's"? That line alone makes me thin this video was put together by someone who has an arms length knowledge of the subject at hand. Sadly, there are a lot of people who think that any 6 cylinder engine is a "V6".

    Father bought a 318 savoy wagon in 64............Parents drove it to 150K...I bought it from them cheap and drove it to nearly 200K....Inattentive. One day I rear ended someone....Front end damage not worth repairing...Sold it for scrap price..That was maybe 1988.....About ten years later I'm in north Portland and it comes barreling around the corner, same front end damage, driven by a huge black gal with about 5 kids hanging out the windows..............Really........

Chrysler guessed wrong for the market when downsizing for '62 but looking at it from a longer term perspective, they were 15 years ahead of what GM did for '77. Unfortunately, they suffered a real dip in sales by not getting the timing right.

The 318 was fine but not particularly fast in such a large car, whereas the 383 turned the '66 into a road warrior!

    My first car was a 62 Plymouth Sport Fury 383 GOLDEN COMMANDO WITH DUAL POINT IGNITION. I bought it in the spring of 1969 for 395.00 dollars. It had a push-button shift automatic gear box. It was Ermie white with red and black interior. I would drive around Memphis and would get challenged by other drivers think they could beat me. Only two ever beat me. One was a Corvette that was obviously built for speed, the other was another Mopar with plenty of power to leave me behind. I also would drive around with my nephew Ronny Hopkins ( who was about two or three years old) riding in the steering wheel. There is another story was once me and my Sport Fury stopped at a traffic light when the light was red and this big Harley pulled up on my left. I glanced at the girl on the pillion seat"what a DOLL". Then I felt the person looking straight at me was none other than Elvis himself riding the bike. He smiled as if to say " I got mine, you get yours"! It wasn't long after that when He came up with the song Rubber Neckin'.

One night after we got off work I found myself setting at a stop light with Pappy and his old ugly Plymouth. He looked at me and revved his engine up, I thought I can beat this old rag. Pappy blew me away, he was long gone, and I know he was laughing his ass off. Damn that Pappy, lol.

    We had the sister car to the Plymouth, a 62 Dodge Dart station wagon. They were wonderful cars, My dad kept his for years, even after it was replaced with a newer vehicle. Ours was a white slant 6, absolutely bulletproof. As for the styling, it was love it or hate it. I admit the styling of the Chryco cars from 60-64, was polarizing, but I've grown to love the quirkiness and individuality of the styling of those years, some of Exner's best work made less weird by Elwood Engel, when he succeeded Virgil Exner.

    I had the Dodge version, with the 318 Poly and an automatic. It was no racecar, I timed 0-60 in 12 seconds and got around 15 mpg combined highway/street driving. I inherited the car in the early 70's with 100k miles, so my performance figures were with a somewhat tired engine. It was comfortable, dead-solid reliable and handled extremely well. I could out-corner most contemporary cars. Sadly these cars were very rust prone and most rusted out before they were worn out. I lived in the northeast, had to put plywood in the trunk so cargo did not fall through the floor. So many good memories.

    My dad bought a 1962 Plymouth station wagon with a 318 v8, automatic, and homely (by my tastebuds anyway) tan color. It was comfortable and carried our family on long distance vacations in comfort. I didn't care for the styling, but styling isn't the most important consideration when picking a car.

    pre government interference styling was everything. When I turned 16, in 1965, I could tell you the make, model and year of over 90% of the cars on the road by seening the front or rear of the car. Then the government started to require certain gas mileage and now you can't cant tell a honda from a chevy from any distance.

    My dad bought a used 1962 Valiant wagon, compact sedan. It came with a rebuilt slant six cylinder automatic transmission with the dashboard pushbutton switches. It ran like a rocket up to 80 mph. My older brothers used it to spot newspaper bundles all over the city on Sunday mornings.

    I miss my old street car' I turned into a bracket racer. 1962 Plymouth Sport Fury 2 door, bought it with healthy but totally stock 440 w/ a push button 727 & a 3.91 posi. I paid a hefty price for it as I spent $300.00 on it ! 😅 (and I drove to a buddy's garage!) Then came the Direct Connection 2.84/484 Hemi Grind Hyd. cam and lifters, Wieand open plenum manifold, 850 Holley card, 440 dual point (Curved) distributor. I bought an old, good set of street headers for like $25.00 & then welded in some 2X3" boxed tubing for sub frame connectors, And I measured a few other cars to find a newer car that was within 1/2" of the interior & ordered a roll cage kit from Jegs I believe for a 68-69 Ford Torino/Fairlane. Had a friend Craig who owed me a paint job and he sprayed it a 1969 Ford pure white. Really did a bang up job in a short time! I really liked that car! I LOVE the body style of those cars...

The Cuda' is massively heavy with original factory 410 gears. The Belvedere has the same 727 and though the rear end is higher it's more fun on the highway!

    My first car was a 1964 Fury with a 426 Street Ram Torqueflite and a 2:93 final drive ratio. I never did have the gumption to find out the top speed with this rear axle ratio. However, I buried the speed and still had petal! 0 - 60 was generally around 7.2 seconds.

    6:12 "The weaker V6's were better served with..." EXCUSE ME? In 62, with any MOPAR product, those were SLANT 6's. NOT V6's. Shows the lack of knowledge of those that put this together. And makes me wonder how accurate the rest of it is. BTW, with a little work, those "weaker slant 6's" can be pushed to 360-370HP, naturally aspirated. It was one of the most amazing 6 bangers of the era from any company.

    Ah, yes I remember the non power assist steering well. in the late 70's my wife and I owned 2 older cars. One was a 1969 Chevy Nova 250 cu inch six 4 door with Powerglide and power steering. The other was a 1968 Dodge Dart 4 door with 225 slant six, torqueflite 3 speed auto and without power steering. It was the non power assisted steering of the dart that I preferred. It had so much better road feel.

    The 4 door version of this, or maybe the Dodge version, was featured on the later episodes of "Leave it to Beaver", notably the opening credits with Jerry Mathers looking out the back window. These cars were a boon for hot-rodders, but at least at first, they were a disaster for Chrysler, spurned by customers who resented paying "more money for less car". Of course, they were the start of the B and then R platforms which served Chrysler well all the way up to the 1981 models year, when the government forced Chrysler to abandon its then-full-sized models as part of the bailout deal.
