1963 Dodge 440

318 CID Polyspherical engine. Push button transmission

Some words from the owner
Here are a few pics and a little history of the car. I purchased it from a co-worker and his wife. The car was bought brand new by her grandfather and when he died her father inherited it .When her father died she got the car. It had been garage kept since new until my co-worker and his wife got it. They drove the car for about a year but a couple of VERY minor problems forced them to park it. So the car sat in the yard for about 3 years with weeds growing around and under it with 3 flat tires. He knew that I liked old mopars so he was telling me about the car. They didn't want to sell it at the time so I would have to wait them out. To make a long story short,the timing was right for all of us and I bought the car cheap. I went up there with a battery and sprayed the carb with ether and it started right up and ran great considering the gas was really old and stale. It has the 318 poly, pushbutton auto, 101,000 original miles. Everything works. The only reason they stopped driving it was because after the engine got warm, it wouldn't start again. After adjusting the timing that problem was solved. I am in the process of doing a complete brake job, dual exhaust and whatever the wallet will allow. Glad I have the opportunity to show and tell you about my old dodge and thanks for considering adding my car to your fine web site........Jerry

UPDATE: 12 October 2002

I currently have the white 2 dr 440 sedan that my brother Jerry had for years. It now has front disc brakes, dual master cylinder, seat belts and I am building a 65 8 3/4 rear with sure grip and disc brakes for it as I type. After that will be the power steering and then the 63 383 and then....and then....
Thanks
