That has been for sale for at least a year. Last time I checked you had to give the guy a deposit to look at the cars and you only got it back if you bought something. Shame cause he had a 64 Dodge 330 I could use for a parts car.

The body does look clean and rustfree.
The amount of info contained in the ad is limited. What options ? From pictures appears does not have A/C but maybe power windows. Also there are no pictures of the floorboards, showing condition. Wonder if they're as nice as the body


Can't even check the codes for options because the picture of the fender tag is for a GM and NOT this car

Incorrect fender tag:

I've seen factory D500 cars in 61 without the emblem.

It seems the D500 emblem was intermittently installed on 61's. I have
see more cars with the option and no emblem than those with it.

There are conflicting opinions if all 61 Dodge big blocks were D500s. I'm not sure if a single carb 361 got the D500 badge. 383 Crossrams got them for sure.
