Someone posted if anyone had seen a street version of the 383 343 package. Yes , I saw and tried (too long a story for here) to buy a 62 Dodge Coronet 500 in 1966 at Roney Dodge in Detroit, Mi, Car was 383 343 powered. Car was 100 percent original down to the spinner hubcaps and whitewall tires.Black with red int. Salesman was very knowledgeable and explained to my that the package was dealer installed and came with the car.(?) Car was a trade in from the original owner who bought the car at Roney. Only other dealer install package I have run across was for a 66 street hemi. (basically the 67 wo mods minus the scoop). Rumor also is that Chry built 6 1963 Dodges and or Plymouths with the 383 343 eng for reps to use while they decided if they would release them. Would be great to find a paper trail for this package.
