This station wagon was a special order power windows and 440 Heads on a 383 c.i. engine. It has been clocked at 140 MPH on a 1/4 mile run!

It was starting to sound like a good old wagon.....until it got to the part about 140 in the quarter. Then I started to wonder how much of the rest is bullcrap. :doh:
 
I'll bet it's still wearing factory heads.. Not knowing my B/RB parts swaps at all, nothing in there has been touched.. It looks the same as my 76,000 mile 440. Name sombody besides half of us that swaps out heads and doesn't put shiny chrome or an aftermarket intake and a footy gas pedal in when done.

As for the 1/4 mile time, I wouldn't say no to an opportunity to disprove it... I love me some C barges
 
Methinks he measured the 1/4 mile with his odometer and his speedometer needs major repair. :hmmm:
 
lol wrong tires and changed gears will do that

i personaly wont change heads without a MAJOR cleanup which useualy leaves me doing a repaint as well....hell at the very least the heads would have gotten painted...but i REFUSE to use steel valvecovers..gimmy aluminum so i can stop the leaks
 
Hey, guess what? In every single year they were built concurrently, meaning 1966-'71, ALL 383s HAD 440 HEADS!. Nothing special about it, and the only exception to that rule was the '67 440HP, which used the 915 castings while the 383 continued on with the 516 castings used on all '66, and non-HP '67 440s. Unlike GM, other than '67 there were never any special performance head castings for the big-blocks.

So, the common-as-dirt power windows somehow make this car not only some kind of rarity, but actually a special order. I'm guessing the seller doesn't realize power windows weren't even a rarity on a Chrysler-badged car in 1960, much less a decade later. The stickers are a liability, in my opinion. I didn't go to those places, at least not in that car.

This car couldn't manage 140MPH in any capacity, even downhill in a hurricane with a pair of JATO bottles, much less achieve such a velocity in the quarter-mile.

It looks pretty solid, but there's a lot of wear and fade here. Drop the price five grand and it's fair. Any more than that, expect to have it awhile.
