Projects Got the wifey her first car 1964 Dodge.

please don't.

 

Don't straight axle the wife's beater. Show some restraint, if you want a straight axle car... buy another one!

 

please dont straight axle it

 

Well I got a lead just a few minute ago on a 63 Dodge 4 door parts car..maybe it will be useable

 

I am in need of the cross member even blue prints of one would be ok with me. I will build one if I must.

 

auto rust techicians is a company that makes the torsionbar crossmember along with other mopar frame sections might want to check them out

 

Keep in mind that almost any year B body mopar cross member is interchangable....You don't just need to look for a '64.
Whatever you do, please, please, do not put a straight axle in that car!

 

Ok I am hoping to go and look at the other car Friday. To bad a 72 Valiant wouldn't work my friend is stripping one down for parts for his Duster and the floors and torsion bar cross member are beautiful in the car. It is a 4 door sedan that was always garaged and driven by an older woman in town only.

 

Now all you need is this motor for it!

 

the torsion repair is critical so say off the street until repaired
but you know that right..

 

i wish!!!!!!!!!!!:d

 

Yeah I think it would be very hard to drive with it though the floor plus it has NO brakes

 

This is on my fender tag and I am wondering how you decode this?

one of our cars, for some inspiration/ideas...not that you'll likely be building the way we did...but enjoy.

el vato.

 

Very nice I love the scoop that is sick..........

 

My gramps had the same car, in black with a red interior. I remember the pushbutton shift and the parking brake lever on the dash. Thanks for the memories.

 

i can tell you WW1 is your paint code i would almost swear its coded as a white car black is usually a X code

the 68 and older data plates arent as informative as the 69 and later ones

try over on moparts.com somone there can help[ you to decode it for sure

 

It definetly was a white car with black interior. When I pulled out the interior I found a broadcast sheet in the top back opf the rear seat and the floor is all white under the carpoet and you can see it was white under the hood insulation.

 

You know....If you put a straight axle in it....you won't have to worry about those torsion bars...........

 

awesome my dad had a 64 polara as his daily all through out my child hood, it was all turquoise! interior and everything

I loved that car...

 

I know and it would be so easy to do right now....I am trying to do the right thing but .

 

Does anyone know if a 66-70 B-body crossmember will work on this car?

 

I found this on the web...

 

There's a '64 Fury at the local u-pull-it. I'll take a look at the t-bar mount for ya...

 

Thanks I really appreciate it

 

yes a 66-70 torsion bar mount will work the k member wont thoiugh

 

That is a great find Joe, lucky her! Congrats!!

 

I love 64 Dodges , I have a 64 Plymouth !

I made these shirts for all the Pushbutton fans , the buttons say

"don't push my buttons"
