“Been a MOPAR guy pretty much ever since.”
Me, too. I bought a new 1967 Barracuda, 383 Formula S when I came home from Vietnam. That engine took up too much space under the hood so power steering was not available and it didn’t handle so well, but in a straight line it was damn quick.
I also had a 1961 Lancer with a 225 slant six four bbl. Yes, there was such a thing for anybody who doubts me. Interesting little car and fun. I don’t imagine many were built.
I too had a 61 lancer. People would ask “that a valiant?” “No it’s a lancer” I’d say. Then they would say “A WHAT?”
Only mine had a 170 slant six with a 1 barrel.
Dad bought it new and I drove it till I got the satellite. I imagine you would have to re cam a 225 to get the 4 bbl to work properly.
