OMUFFN, this is my current project,49 Plymouth, 4 1/2" chop, 10" altered wheelbase, body raised 2"s and a 354 hemi somewhat under the hood... still lots of work to do but its getting there!  ... View more

That is one FINE Kustom OMUFFN!! I LOVE it!!!  Doing google searches trying to help you out the other day it was the ONLY one that kept popping up as having a removable hardtop.   It certainly isn't a factory job, but appears that it could be a Carson style top. Have you tried posting in the HAMB?  (This is the link to get there) https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/    In the meantime I'll reach out to some guys I know through Facebook to see if they have any knowledge of your car   ...

You are 100% correct Topside, it is THAT Darrell Davis! Ive gotten to know Darrell through email and Social Media over the past few years after owning a 1961 Polara D500 Ram Induction car that was talked about in Darrell's book on the 61 Dodge D500's. He had a post on Facebook a few weeks ago that he was going to be sending the Neon to auction shortly... that is what sparked this article!  ... View more

Hi OMUFFIN, Would love to see exactly what you have there, I've been around these cars for years and have never seen one with a removable hardtop. I currently have a 49 Plymouth and 50 Dodge, both 3 window business coupes, Grew up in the back seat (on the floor) of Dad's 51 Wayfarer sportabout roadster.    Do you have pictures of your car you could share?  ...

Great stuff, but in my mind the absolute best hood scoop ever was on the 1968 Super Stock Hemi Darts and Barracuda's! ... View more

that is some great information Nitro, Converting the blower over for gasoline would make for a great "How to" tech article! I had a few old GMC blowers around here from my days over working on woods equipment. I gave them all away to car friends over the years but I have yet to see any of them pull into our cruise nights with a blower motor under the hood. Keep up the great work, I love what your up to! ... View more

@CrimeNovelist I haven't found anything in my research so far for anything particularly related to the Bronx to say one way or the other but I did come across this ad for the 1964 Ford Polica packages, you can see the top one The "interceptor" package is showing no roof or bumper mounted emergency/beacon light, only showing the drivers side spotlight. They would of had to have some form of dash or magnetic roof light sitting on the seat for emergencies, this would make me presume that the technology was there for any police department. Does that help in anyway?  ... View more

Not a thing wrong with the 413's in the 300G's, but the 61 Dart's and Polara D500's with the ram induction 383 are overlooked far to much! This is my unrestored 61 Polara D500 ram induction, one of only 80 built and one of 11 four door sedans produced, the licence plate on the front says it all... Rare Ram!  ... View more

@jonZ   absolutely gorgeous cars!!!  I agree, the 63's are the prettiest of the bunch, we tried to but a sprint 10 years or more ago but lost out on the deal. We've had the ranchero since the late 90's it was a pretty nice Arizona car when we got it, But we have had it completely apart for body and paint, suspension rebuild, vintage air, new interior, etc. etc. .... its a really really nice taint! Dad call's it his Taint, because it taint a car and it taint a truck!  haha     If your really looking for one, its coming up for sale. Dad turned 74 last month and has decided to pare down his collection. I'll send you a private message. ... View more

Hey Jonz... beautiful Falcon! Dad has a really nice 1963 1/2 Ranchero with the 260v8, I put many miles on it before I got my own cars. The Polara is certainly a unique piece, it’s not something you ever see at a show, I always say it’s kind of odd, and a a little odd looking just like the current owner! Haha ... View more

                  I like to call this one my Mopar Unicorn, it’s a 1961 Dodge Polara D500 four door sedan with a 383 V8 engine that is factory equipped with the dual quad Ram Induction intake system.  I use the term Unicorn as only 80 Ram Induction Polara’s where built in 1061 with only 11 of those being four door sedans!   Now to make this car more unique it is a rust free unrestored survivor, I even have paperwork on this car almost back to day one including SMOG cards from California in the 60’s! The exterior paint is not original but it was done sometime in the late 80’s early 90’s to correct a Whole bunch of scratches from having been used as a storage shelf for many years, all inner doors, door jams, under hood trunk area is 100% the paint it left the factory with.  The interior is all original other than the passenger side seat bottom has had a cloth panel replaced with NOS correct material. We’ve had the car for close to 10 years and I’ve been collecting information on these cars since the first time I saw it several years before we purchased it and have met a few people that I consider experts on these cars, they tell me this is likely the only survivor 61 Ram Induction Polara in existence. I’ve yet to find another, but I’m always researching!  The car is currently located in Hillsbough New Brunswick Canada. A long ways from Whittier California were it was purchased new 59 years ago..... for over $4000!!!  ... View more

I was really hoping to see the Norton 750 Commando's mentioned in the article, we just picked up a garage kept original, survivor 1973 750 Commando that hasn't been run since the early 80's.  Not a bike motorcycle guy but couldn't let it go to someone that wouldn't look after it properly. If your a Norton collector look me up, may let it go to the right guy. ... View more

This is my very first vehicle, When I say I’ve been a car guy my entire life I mean it! I purchased this back in 1977 or 1978, having been born in 1971 it safe to say I was a kid! My father was restoring a 1951 Dodge Wayfarer Sportabout convertible at the time and was looking for engine parts when he found this 1951 Dodge “Job Rated” panel truck. When we went to look at it the parts that he was weren’t there so he wasn’t going to buy it, so I asked Dad how much they wanted for it? He says “$35” so I pull out my wallet and tell Dad “I’ve got $40, is that enough for me to buy it” and that was that, "My" panel was picked up and brought home the next weekend!  I never did get it running but I learned a lot about mechanics working on it all by myself for several years, if it unbolted or unscrewed it was a part at least once! I was maybe ten when I pulled the engine apart to find no piston or rod in the #4 hole, supposedly the panel was driven from Toronto where it was in service as a bread truck, to New Brunswick...about a 1000 miles..... I bet it wasn’t a very fast drive with only 5 pistons and a block of wood plugging the empty cylinder!       the little guy is me 🙂   ... View more

thanks for the tips! I parked my Nikon D3000 on a shelf shortly after I upgraded to an Iphone 7plus, the difference in results from one to the other wasn't worth the hassle of carrying around a camera bag full of camera and accessories. Recently upgraded to an XR and am enjoying the camera that it has, anyone able to recommend a good lense kit for it?  ... View more

The 1960-1961 Dodge Darts and Polaras are often overlooked as being a muscle type vehicle, but with the standard 383 putting out 320 horsepower , and the Ram Induction 383 putting out 330 Horrsepower and 460 foot pounds of torque they certainly fall into the MUSCLE scene... below is my Unrestored/survivor 1961 Dodge Polara D500 with dual quad ram induction 383.... believed to be the only known survivor, and it has documentation back to its beginning (currently for sale)   ...
