58 Dodge Sierra

I'm not a Mopar guy even though I like them....I thought the poly was a 318. Shows you what I know.

 

Are they bidding on this Sierra?

 

I don't know...
Just passed on the auction this morning. Too soon to tell.

 

Here's the dash in a 60 Fury wagon. Check out the Exner "Jetson" era with the cluster pod sitting on the dash and the steering wheel and horn ring!

 

Yup - I like the dash, but I hated the way the (big) '60 Plymouth looked on the outside.

 

Yeah, those looked really cool. I wonder if June would have let Ward get one though?

 

Ebay auction ended at 4:30. Guess they found a buyer outside of ebay.

 

Doesn't surprise me at all. In fact, I predicted as much. The deal was too good to pass up.

 

There were several Poly engines, the last one was the A318, which was used in US cars and trucks through 1966, and Canada through 1967. Dodge had three Polys; Plymouth also had three. The Chrysler 354 was also available as a Poly engine, but the 392 was not.

Just for general info, the modern Mopar "hemi" is actually a Polyspherical-head engine, and not a true Hemi.

 

Well....there ya go! I was only 33&1/3% stupid!

 

Lotsa discussions of the engine... I replied early;

And I´m very confident that this particular Sierra has 350 cid engine on it. If you didn`t picked anything else from the option list then Plymouth 350 cid went for the engine bay. And this is for Dodge wagons only as sedans followed different option list.
