Sleeper from 1965

When I was 18 years old I would not have been seen near a station wagon, but now would love to have this. Talk about putting the stomp on some corvette owners.

1965 Plymouth Belvedere Station Wagon 450/490 HP, Automatic

Really neat car, but the description leaves a little to be desired.

You're right, it leaves a lot to be desired!

The engine is a small block Mopar....not 450 inches; The intake looks like an old edlebrock STR crossram; no one makes 3.91 pro gears for a Mopar; there is no such thing as Mopar "iron, super heads"; and the list goes on!

I believe this car was in the Old Car trader and advertised as a 318 car.

Let the buyer beware!

X-Tech man, My thoughts for sure !
The problem being they will try to get Major money out of it .Somebody's going to get screwed !
I like the wagon, but that's about it, if a person did some re-a-rangeing , it could turn out nice !....Later,,,,,, John

Hood scoop all wrong, needs a 65 Hemi scoop instead of that 68 scoop, Paint is major ugly, wheels are same, etc. ! A car more like Clayton Wrights 65 U/SA is way cool. Thats how it should look.

Well I didn't want to start anything about it, just looked like a cool sleeper. I would not know a 318 from a 440. But I do know a hemi head when I see one.

But at the CDRA bracket finals in Tulsa I noticed the valve covers on a 348/409 based dragster. I made sure I went over and told the guy how cool that was. You could see the smile with his helmet on. Stopped a young guy who races at our track and pointed the valve covers out to him and he did not have a clue. Had to explain it all. Young'ens

I rememer the first time I saw a 409 bare block, I was about 14 and dumbfounded by the fact a piston could be so off as to leave a ringland groove like that and not destroy the cylinder wall, then I saw the others and they were the same, then it all came together......I still laugh about that and pointed a block out to my 12 year old last year, his immediate reaction was the same.
