4 door mopar cars

[64 Dart 270]

I want to make a 2 door Chevy II wagon. And a short box elcamino

I saw this 65 chevelle 2 door wagon come up for sale yesterday. It's a local ad, but the car is in Alabama. Wants a lot of $ for a project car:
**Rare 1965 Chevelle 2 door wagon** - auto parts - by owner -...

I have never heard of DDSpeedShop. They idea came to me about 40 years ago.

Hes a youtuber, non stop content. Best one, 4 door hardtop, built a 57 chevy convertible. Crude, but looks pretty good.

Crew cabs are the only way to go - more practical, less visible to the police, and since so many people butchered them to fix their few door models they're becoming relatively rare. They also bring out the nostalgia in people of a certain age who remember fighting with their siblings in the back seat.

Ha Ha. LMAO. I have never heard a four door called a crew cab.

You are probably watching, DDSpeedShop is building a 2 door biscayne,big block. If you arent, may want to go look.
He has done a pile of tri-5 chevys. He starts by comparing roof lines between 2 and 4 doors. Somewhat of a hack but gets the job done.

You are right. I watched him do the 4 door to 2 door Biscayne transformation. He is a bit crude, to say the least. I bet he buys Bondo in 5-gallon buckets. But he does get the job done. I like watching him.

Take a close look, When Mopar Installed The factory A/C On the 1969 V8 Darts, they also came heavy heavy duty cooling, a radiator shroud with the 340 Part Number, as well as 340 Torsion Bars. The car should have the 5'5 rims as well. Mine came with all that from the factory, the tip off is look at the recommended tire size on the pillar, and it will say D70-14 or E70-14 recommended tire size. both require the 5.5 rim.

2949069 rad, 2785614 shroud, and 7 fixed blade fan

That one has a 1964 front grill installed so it might be a 1964 instead of a 1965. Either way, these are not Malibus; they are a two year run of what was known as the Chevelle 300. A neighbor of mine from back in the day had a 1965 2 door wagon with the Chevelle 300 insignias still installed. Chevy had these advertised in that timeframe as a thrifty low priced wagon alternative. My neighbor was a very skilled hot rodder and made his Chevelle 300 2 door wagon very unique - he dumped the 283 V-8 and all the rest of the drivetrain - he found a wrecked 1966 427 Vette in the junkyard and dropped that in along with a Turbo 400 tranny, a huge radiator, low restriction dual exhaust to the rear bumper and chrome reverse wheels with Uniroyal thin white line G70 - 15 tires., and a 12 bolt positraction rear with 4.11/1 gearing.
The car was the ultimate sleeper - it ran 12s in the 1/4. That was fast in the late 1960s ....

Jeez, heck even nowadays 12's is decently quick. I'm sure with better tires and a bit more finaglin' with newer stuff available he can easily get it in the 11's if it's still around,
