[Chrysler300] Re: Fw: Indy Pace Cars

[RAKFAR@xxxxxxx]

Regarding  the Mopars used as Indy Pace Cars, I have to put my two cents in 
to point  out an inaccuracy on the linked page:  the 1965 Plymouth Sport 
Fury  convertible actually used in the race was NOT a 383 cid V-8 as listed  
here.  Plymouth did make and sell to the public a good number  (several 
thousand?) "Indy Pace Car Replicas" in 1965 which were 383-powered  (with 
torqueflite trannies), but the car that paced the race (which Scot Jim  Clark won) 
was powered by a 365 hp, 426 cid "street wedge", with a  four-speed 
transmission.  

Likewise,  the photo shown on the page link is not the actual 1965 pace 
car, but a  replica.

                                                                    Roger
