I know its a different car but in 1962 Hot Rod magazine raced a 62 Chrysler Newport with a 413. I'm not sure but I think it ran ss/sa at 62 Winternationals and took runner up in class to a Pontiac. Big Chrysler and Dodge 880 shared same body except for front end sheet metal.

All true except that the Newport wasn't the "big Chrysler" in 1962. That was the New Yorker, with a wheelbase of 126 inches, vs. the Newport's 122. The Newport was somewhat shorter, at 214.9 inches, overall, vs. the New Yawker's 219.3.

The Newport was the "entry-level, el-cheapo model and shared its wheelbase with the 300.

Well I just remembered one many years ago fondly. I did notice that NHRA lists the 361,383, and 413. All of the specs I have found do not list the 413 being available. Was this an early "paper" car?

I always thought the aerodynamics from the back window looked great, but there would be a lot of front end to overcome.

This is just for thoughts.
