Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!

Thats the problem with the 63-64 Mopars. You could get anything you wanted back in the day. The 63 STATION WAGONS were allowed alum front ends (Can you say "WAR WAGON"). At least one 63 Max Wedge Alum front end Sport Fury Convert was built and sold. Some say the Dodge Polara Convert. was assembly line produced so its in the guide. All you can do is go with the CURRENT NHRA class guide. The old IHRA production S/S giude showed Alum front ends avaliable for all bodys in 63 and 64.

Well Bob, I ordered one from the local dealer, paid my money and 6 weeks later I got a letter from chrysler that they would only deliver that car with an aluminum front end. Hell I couldn't afford to run AFX back then, or now either for that matter. I was trying to get a jump on A stock. This was in October or November of '63.
