    Great car. We had a '63 Belvedere with the push button slushbox and a rompin' 383. I coveted that car as a teenager. Of course, my stepfather blew the engine to smithereens.

    I really like the meatball welding-freak bumper on the trailer. That's worth the 75 bucks right there. The stickers add class.

    '67 Belvedere 4 door was my first car. Little 273 two barrel and a TorqueFlite. Always ran great but rust was a huge problem-along with shakey brakes. Belvederes used a light weight unibody construction and actually weighted the same as a Valiant of the same year. Still miss that car......

    Good-looking car from the pre-Coke-bottle era. Nice lean lines, airy greenhouse, interesting taper towards the rear. However, the exposed fuel filler cap on the rear fender is a surprisingly cheap-looking touch. Anyone who "salutes the Who" is OK in my book.

    @tonyola: The fuel filler cap placement and appearance depends on taste, I guess. They used to be a featured part of the trim or a simple added touch. This MoPar is just perfect.

    @Novaload Wants the Jez 9 Back: In fact, the caps were vital parts of the trim. Here's a MoPar--but the over the top designs actually belonged to American Motors, a Rambler and a Hornet.

    @Novaload Wants the Jez 9 Back: An exposed filler looks fine when it implies performance (like on the Challenger and Charger) or emphasizes a car's identity (like the AMCs you show or early Mustangs). However, the filler on the Belvedere looks like a cheapo 99c item that was supposed to save a few bucks. What's telling is that the '67 Dodge Coronet used a hidden filler at the same location.

    The CAUTION tape is perfect.

    This car intentionally has different front and rear wheels, stay away...it's for your own good.

    That car looks better than when it was new. So much style, and no flashy moves. Except for that color, of course. Glad he stayed within the Pentastar when selecting the proper trailer.

    As the once proud and happy owner of a 66 Fury--those things were indestructible tanks. It's great to see a MoPar Granddaddy like this one still quietly doing its job. It seems like every taxi in the 60s was a MoPar, just check out old movies/shows.

    Remember the Dodge La Femme of '55-6 vintage?


    This is the Plymouth Manger La Merde. Stay the fuck out of its way. It might be clean and well-restored, but it's not happy. Look, but don't touch.

    Actually, Chrysler was way ahead of the other two when it comes to the intermediate size. You see, this Belvedere used the "downsized" platform of the Fury that was introduced in 1962. with each year afterwards, Elwood Engel, who replaced Virgil Exner as the Chrysler Design Chief, tacked on a little more length, and a little less wierd.

    To Illustrate: 1962 Fury



    1963 Fury



    1964 Fury




    As you can see, the roofline for the Fury was just carried on with the Belvedere. Also, look at the windshield from 62 onward, same as the Belvedere.

    Those Belvederes are clean sharp cars.


    The Plymouth was about the cheapest car you could buy back then. Good value I'd say.

    Today's cheapest car must be a Kia Rio or something...
