But not a Frank Sinatra is it? Well, yes, a super-cool ride, I dig it!

Somehow one was safe to own near the vacant lot where I got Phil Ochs’d for my bike in...

Dodge 440

From the late '60s to mid '70s, a friend of mine had a 1964 white 4-door Dodge 330 with that same engine and blue interior.   That car could move pretty good!  His dad owned a Chrysler/Plymouth/Imperial dealership, so the 330 was likely a trade-in.  I always liked the vertical "Park" lever that would simply flip down.  That steering wheel looks naked compared to those found today with multiple levers hanging off both sides.

NOTHING ON EARTH

Handles or drives like a OLD Chrysler product, the power steering has never been equaled and the brakes are sheer perfection, you can steer with one finger and stop with the tip of your toe, the torsion bar suspension keeps the car flat and smooth,,,Just nothing like one.

'81 imperial-

really cool that it is all original with EFI intactGreat big alternator too-probably 16 pole like Cadillac alternators of the same era.Injection looks like an adaptation of the "lean burn"system introduced ~1975 on certain Chrysler products.

When I took Drivers Training in HS in 1967 the car we drove was a white 1966 Dodge Coronet 440, just like the CHP drove then. Of course by then the push button AT had been changed to column shift. It was a pretty powerful car for teens to learn to drive in, but then most cars had V-8s then and lots of torque.
