Not a CSC but definitely Classic

I have always loved these old Mopars that are older than me. I've had a couple of Cudas and a Fury myself in the past, two were 440's and a 340. I've been goofing off on this old 62 for a buddy. It's so ugly but mean at the same time, and fasttttttt. Even by todays standards, now traction, thats something else. Lol. For anybody who appreciates the forward thinking of the SeaCrafts from way back can appreciate that Mopars were unibody since the 50's. When people say, "heavy old car" that was more true of a similar size body on frame GM or Ford. Other things like torsion bars and pinion snubbers, rear leafsprings, a optional pushbutton automatic tranny gave Mopars big advantages at the dragstrip beyond the motor. People know about 440's & 426 HEMI's and rightfully so but before there was a 440 or 426 HEMI there were the 413, 426 Wedge and Max Wedge motors. Of course you also have to mention the 727 pushbutton Torqueflight which allowed racers to "neutral drop" at the line at a time before high stall torque converters.

This is a 13.5-1 compression original 413 max wedge cross ram, pushbutton car. Not my cup-o-tea but you gotta respect how fast and light these old b-body Mopars are. They were the fastest at the strip offered by the big 3 at the time.
