Works In Progress See Update below!

1964 Plymouth Savoy

Neat, Mark!

We all wish we had those type of decisions to make...

:-)

To help out, we conducted a poll to help Mark make his decision. The results of the month long poll are below.

Hum, myself I'd leave it visually as much of a Detective or Border Patrol car as possible.

The 383 2bbl is no slug, but who says the Law couldn't enjoy having a 426 Hemi under the hood to help chase down criminals? :-D

Good luck with the project!

RE: Update: Looks like the '64 found its way to a new and exciting life on the 1/4 mile track! Cool!

• max wedge would be my bet. to much stuff to do to a hemi car. all hemis had red insides single headlights and different door panels. 10/30/00 4:13:04 AM
• ... max wedges are like a race horse that belongs on the track NOT ON PARADE! 10/29/00 1:11:49 AM
• The 62/65 cars are what really put Mopars in the spotlight . Make it fast and enjoy it by running it at the track where Real Mopar men enjoy their car 10/29/00 12:55:24 AM

• Ypu don't see these cars stock. Most everybody is "rodding" so set yourself apart from the crowd. Go stock. 10/21/00 10:52:42 PM

• No offense, but I wouldn't waist a HEMI or Max Wedge on this car. The car has a unique history - modifying it would negate the car's history. 10/13/00 4:05:18 PM
• COOL CAR 10/12/00 3:34:11 PM
• if it had a blown motor is when i would change it out for a wedge or hemi but respect it for what it is, a cool utilitarian cop car! 10/12/00 8:31:01 AM
• A stock looking Savoy bearing a police package and a max wedge would be the ultimate! 10/11/00 7:16:44 PM
• Stock with a 426 max wedge is the only way to go, keep the dog dish hubcaps, with the same color body/wheels, restore the interior, and sell it to.ME! 10/11/00 2:48:41 PM
• hemi's are to tempermental 10/11/00 12:04:59 PM

• Make it a street hemi. Cross-rams are cool on the track, but they suck (big fuel too) on the street. I do love the way they run, however! 10/2/00 6:28:36 PM
