"The weaker V6's"? That line alone makes me thin this video was put together by someone who has an arms length knowledge of the subject at hand. Sadly, there are a lot of people who think that any 6 cylinder engine is a "V6".

Father bought a 318 savoy wagon in 64............Parents drove it to 150K...I bought it from them cheap and drove it to nearly 200K....Inattentive. One day I rear ended someone....Front end damage not worth repairing...Sold it for scrap price..That was maybe 1988.....About ten years later I'm in north Portland and it comes barreling around the corner, same front end damage, driven by a huge black gal with about 5 kids hanging out the windows..............Really........

In the early 70's I bought a white 62' Savoy 2 door post Police car with a 383 Magnum Police Interceptor engine and the push button automatic for $150.00. It was banged up on every corner but nothing could touch it. A true "Sleeper".

In 1962, my dad bought a new Fury Wagon, 318 v8 with a 3-speed automatic. What a great car and quite a runner I might add. I got in trouble a couple times in that car.

I had a 62 Plymouth Valiant in 1981 with the old slant 6 and 2-speed transmission! 0 - 60 and under 5 minutes! But for a $250 car out of the junkyard, that thing always ran! I gave it to a friend a year later, it was still running!

And Seriously ,Anyone who Ever Owned a 318 powered Mopar , Was Impressed !

My Grandma had a 64 Dodge 330 2 dr sedan w/413.....I was very young, but I remember the staggered twin carbs........she got rid of it because it was hard to start in the winter......never drove much over 35- 40 mph

I like the look of them. Distinctive without being ugly.

I personally drove a 1964 Dodge D 300 1 ton Dual Wheeled Farm Truck with a 413 cu. In. V8 with a 12 ft dump & stake body with 5 ft. side boards and rear lift out gates. Equipped with a 4 speed standard transmission and 4:10 gear ratio rear end. What a powerful truck to hall bulk oats or baled hay or 4 saddle horses. I 'd load on 80 50 lb. bales of hay and the truck drive along the highway loaded with and you'd hardly ever take her out of 4th gear. Top speed was a maximum of 60 M.P. H.

Funny, I loved the design in '62 and continue to find it to be stunning example of 60's automobile design today. Especially the coupe.

Nothing stodgy about the daring Valiant-like styling.

My neighbor worked for Chrysler and I can't forget the day Mrs. Jabro drove to my school in this all new 1962 mauve color Plymouth wagon. Rode in that car many times, The most beautiful Plymouth ever the 1965 wagon took it's place.

Who put this video together? Why are you showing pics of the much later Ramcharger SUV when talking about the Ramchargers of the early '60's? - the two are not connected in any way.

Just like the news, there’s no fact checking you expect this to be honest and upfront So for the younger generation, he could probably pass this off as fact, but the ones that live this era know better

I had the Dodge version, with the 318 Poly and an automatic. It was no racecar, I timed 0-60 in 12 seconds and got around 15 mpg combined highway/street driving. I inherited the car in the early 70's with 100k miles, so my performance figures were with a somewhat tired engine. It was comfortable, dead-solid reliable and handled extremely well. I could out-corner most contemporary cars. Sadly these cars were very rust prone and most rusted out before they were worn out. I lived in the northeast, had to put plywood in the trunk so cargo did not fall through the floor. So many good memories.

Similar to Captain Culpeppers car, if you know the name, you have been around a while and have a good sense of humor!

My first car was a 62 Plymouth Sport Fury 383 GOLDEN COMMANDO WITH DUAL POINT IGNITION. I bought it in the spring of 1969 for 395.00 dollars. It had a push-button shift automatic gear box. It was Ermie white with red and black interior. I would drive around Memphis and would get challenged by other drivers think they could beat me. Only two ever beat me. One was a Corvette that was obviously built for speed, the other was another Mopar with plenty of power to leave me behind. I also would drive around with my nephew Ronny Hopkins ( who was about two or three years old) riding in the steering wheel. There is another story was once me and my Sport Fury stopped at a traffic light when the light was red and this big Harley pulled up on my left. I glanced at the girl on the pillion seat"what a DOLL". Then I felt the person looking straight at me was none other than Elvis himself riding the bike. He smiled as if to say " I got mine, you get yours"! It wasn't long after that when He came up with the song Rubber Neckin'.

When I was a little kid, my uncle had a '64 Fury two-door HT. Gorgeous car!

You need to do your homework you’re a little bit off on a lot of that stuff just my opinion

I knew an old man called Pappy that I worked with back around 1974 that had one of these stodgy looking Plymouth sedans, maybe a 1963. I was a teenager and had a 1969 Fiat 124 Spider. One night after we got off work I found myself setting at a stop light with Pappy and his old ugly Plymouth. He looked at me and revved his engine up, I thought I can beat this old rag. Pappy blew me away, he was long gone, and I know he was laughing his ass off. Damn that Pappy, lol.

The Savoy was the base model through 64 in the US, 65 in Canada and abroad. The main benefits of that was that the bread and butter modrls had less internal competition. In both the US and Canada the Savoy became Fury I.

I had a 62 FBI car in high school. Super tight push button automatic. Did a lot of street racing. The only race I ever lost was to a Chevelle SS396 with headers and exhaust cutoffs. Corvette drivers hated to lose to a car that looked like this.

2:49 - "Ramchargers", NOT a pickup truck. "The Ramchargers" were a group of MoPar Engineers that went racing on the weekend, and perfected the techniques of "Inlet Manifold Ram Charging", where by the exhaust and inlet pulses of the cylinders work to create a positive airflow in to the cylinders, filling them more.

My dad had a new 1962 Belvedere (or possibly Fury 1 the stripped-down model) 4-door which looked nearly identical. Loved the push-button automatic transmission and sloped padded dash with front facing speaker!

Leave It To Beaver... The Cleavers family car!!!

The OP obviously does NOT know what the word LITERALLY means...

We had a '62 Fury when I was a teenager. 318 poly w/ 4bbl carb., dual exhaust and a push button torqueflight. It was really fast!.. took on most if not all other cars.

Always wanted a 62 Plymouth or Dodge, owned several 64 Plymouths Dodges, and they we're very good vehicles.

I miss my old street car' I turned into a bracket racer. 1962 Plymouth Sport Fury 2 door, bought it with healthy but totally stock 440 w/ a push button 727 & a 3.91 posi. I paid a hefty price for it as I spent $300.00 on it ! 😅 (and I drove to a buddy's garage!) Then came the Direct Connection 2.84/484 Hemi Grind Hyd. cam and lifters, Wieand open plenum manifold, 850 Holley card, 440 dual point (Curved) distributor. I bought an old, good set of street headers for like $25.00 & then welded in some 2X3" boxed tubing for sub frame connectors, And I measured a few other cars to find a newer car that was within 1/2" of the interior & ordered a roll cage kit from Jegs I believe for a 68-69 Ford Torino/Fairlane. Had a friend Craig who owed me a paint job and he sprayed it a 1969 Ford pure white. Really did a bang up job in a short time! I really liked that car! I LOVE the body style of those cars...

We’re in season 4 of Leave it to Beaver and there’s Mopars featured!

"...a magazine called Car Life Road Test" (4:00)? Ah, no. The magazine was called Car Life, though they did of course do road tests.

We had the sister car to the Plymouth, a 62 Dodge Dart station wagon. They were wonderful cars, My dad kept his for years, even after it was replaced with a newer vehicle. Ours was a white slant 6, absolutely bulletproof. As for the styling, it was love it or hate it. I admit the styling of the Chryco cars from 60-64, was polarizing, but I've grown to love the quirkiness and individuality of the styling of those years, some of Exner's best work made less weird by Elwood Engel, when he succeeded Virgil Exner.

My first car was a 62 Dodge Polara convertible with that 361 hemi. Lots of fun!

My 62 Plymouth Savoy (225 slant six) was great ! It was what the cops used here and it was wild to see who could drive at the city speed limit at 1:00 in the morning. - ex Shell Oil fleet car. Way off subject - I notice KZfaq has removed the thumbs up character but not the thumbs down ! Is this to stop positive reactions.

LITERALLY?!?!??! Look up the meaning.......literally!

Love it. I had a '73 Duster with a 3-speed floor shift.

My dad bought a used 1962 Valiant wagon, compact sedan. It came with a rebuilt slant six cylinder automatic transmission with the dashboard pushbutton switches. It ran like a rocket up to 80 mph. My older brothers used it to spot newspaper bundles all over the city on Sunday mornings.

When a child ,I thought 63' Plymouth Fury ,best looking Car of its class ,Ford and Chevvies ,boxy and stodgy : Plymouth truly ,Foreword looking !

IN 1963 I live next to a King county sheriff precinct station. The cop cars were PLymoths, dozens of them

Thumbs down for scripth mistakes. 3:56 Mid '90s publication testing the 1962 models before they were introduced. The real story here is the time machine.

Hold on @6:19 they mentioned V-6 and there were none in the 1960's. Somebody hasn't done their research, In the 60's they had "Slant Six engines the largest was 225 cu in.

Love the early Valiant styled versions. Virgil Exner was the best! I understand he had a hand in post-war Studebaker, my favorite being the bullet nose Champion.

Although long before I was born, (I was born in 1973 after all), I've seen a few 1962 through 64 Plymouth cars over the years. They were my favourite years for the Plymouth Belvedere and Fury. I've never cared for 0-60 acceleration performance. I was more interested in how durable a car was for everyday driving.

Early 60s Stodgey Dodgey???...No!...Early 60's Stodgey Plymouth!

My dad bought a 1962 Plymouth station wagon with a 318 v8, automatic, and homely (by my tastebuds anyway) tan color. It was comfortable and carried our family on long distance vacations in comfort. I didn't care for the styling, but styling isn't the most important consideration when picking a car.

My 1962 Plymouth Belvedere state trooper enforcer is so much fun! I had a low miles 1971 Cuda' 340 in the early 90's and though the Cuda' looks sexy my Belvedere is way fun to drive. The Cuda' is massively heavy with original factory 410 gears. The Belvedere has the same 727 and though the rear end is higher it's more fun on the highway!

When I was a kid my Dad had a 1962 Dodge Dart Wagon with the 318 V8 . I miss that car..

I had a 64 savoy 426 wedge . Dual point distributor. 323 gears would do 140 mph easily. Scary though.

pre government interference styling was everything. When I turned 16, in 1965, I could tell you the make, model and year of over 90% of the cars on the road by seening the front or rear of the car. Then the government started to require certain gas mileage and now you can't cant tell a honda from a chevy from any distance.

"Polarizing design..." Virgil Exner may have been long gone from Chrysler, but his ghost was still lingering in the form of those fore and aft "wings" that ran to either end. While it may not have been for everyone, at least it wasn't terminally bland like the last version shown at 2:09. If you took the badges off of that I would have thought it was a '62 Chevy.

In the summer of 65, as a teen, went with a church group from Long Island, NY to Oaxaca, Mexico and back. Also along VW Camper bus. Never a problem with it, even climbing though the mountains of Mexico, with 6 in the car, we had to push the VW at times up steep hills. I don't remember the year of the car.

no v6 back then it was a slant 6

My brother and I thrashed the crap out out the family 318 push button 62 fury. Scratch in all 3 gears.

I recall 413's were branded at "Ramchargers"

I had the Dodge Revellion model kit.....I always liked the body design of this car, it lends itself well to the drag car look.......Saw some short-oval modified stock cars with this body style and they look great as well.

I remember these cars when I was a kid and liked the looks of them but didn’t know about them.

2:50 - Wrong Ramcharger.

Great vid!!!!

As a kid when these were eight or ten years old I thought they were hideous, they may still be. Somehow I happen to like them much better now, especially hot rodded little. But then again that makes everything better looking.

Thanks man! I've reached out.

LITERALLY

Clearly a beautiful restoration job.

2:51 Later Ram shown had no Max Wedge.

Had a 1960 Plymouth, "Suburban", Looked kind of like the black car in this video.Push button automatic on the left dash. Had a slant six super 270 c.i. (as opposed to a 225 c.i. slant six which was more common.)

I own two of theses cars a 4DSN savoy & a fury station wagon. A lot people think there ugly cars, thats a matter of option. Even if you laugh at it you just strengthen its appeal. Most car shows I go to its most likely it will be the only one of its kind to be there. Its nice to have something no one else has. Its not a 57 chevy or a 64 Mustang, theres more then enough of those cars. Here you see something you don't see at every car show, even I like to see something different besides the same old, same old.

I owned a 1974 Satellite 4-door. It was heaven on earth!

My first car was a 1964 Fury with a 426 Street Ram Torqueflite and a 2:93 final drive ratio. I never did have the gumption to find out the top speed with this rear axle ratio. However, I buried the speed and still had petal! 0 - 60 was generally around 7.2 seconds.

6:46 Later vintage Ram

I would have loved to have one of these. I did however have a Leyland P76 with the 272-alloy engine which used to do 27 MPG on the highway. 😁😁

Why are you showing 20's and '30's cars? You also showed the wrong "Ramchargers", among other things.

Ah, yes I remember the non power assist steering well. in the late 70's my wife and I owned 2 older cars. One was a 1969 Chevy Nova 250 cu inch six 4 door with Powerglide and power steering. The other was a 1968 Dodge Dart 4 door with 225 slant six, torqueflite 3 speed auto and without power steering. It was the non power assisted steering of the dart that I preferred. It had so much better road feel.

Those " S " body cars that this allegedly replaced were powered by the Venerable 225 and sometimes 215 Straight Sixes . The " Leaning Towers of Power " . I would LOVE to get an R or S model , and drop a Hot 340 in it .

Nothing new here,its all been told many times before,plus you are astray on a lot of your info

I love it 🤩!!!

The 62 Plymouth Savoy and Dodge Dart were and are great cars that were ahead of their time. They both can be seen in many parts of the 1963 movie It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

Where's that gorgeous example that was on the thumbnail?

Ramchargers was a racing team, not an SUV!

Our '65 Plymouth Valiant Signet V-8 automatic takes a little getting used to with no factory power steering or brakes. I feel the need to keep some extra distance between me and other vehicles on the road.

62 300 sport coupe was the bigger brother , 383 v8.. Iloved that ride

If AI ever learns about punctuation these videos won’t be so hard to listen to. Also don’t rely on this video for accurate information.

The 4 door version of this, or maybe the Dodge version, was featured on the later episodes of "Leave it to Beaver", notably the opening credits with Jerry Mathers looking out the back window. These cars were a boon for hot-rodders, but at least at first, they were a disaster for Chrysler, spurned by customers who resented paying "more money for less car". Of course, they were the start of the B and then R platforms which served Chrysler well all the way up to the 1981 models year, when the government forced Chrysler to abandon its then-full-sized models as part of the bailout deal.

In ‘62 the A body cars still had floor shifted manuals.

6:12 "The weaker V6's were better served with..." EXCUSE ME? In 62, with any MOPAR product, those were SLANT 6's. NOT V6's. Shows the lack of knowledge of those that put this together. And makes me wonder how accurate the rest of it is. BTW, with a little work, those "weaker slant 6's" can be pushed to 360-370HP, naturally aspirated. It was one of the most amazing 6 bangers of the era from any company.

I love your Ontario car. Not sure if that's at the annual Moparfest in New Hamburg but cool nonetheless

It looks like a Valiant with squared off trunk

It's funny. I lived through that era, and the literal destruction of literally everyone on the road did not make the news.Or it is just possible that you don't have any idea of the meaning of the words literal or literally.

The long hood design was also in the Chevy montycarlo.From 69-77

The Dash… Oh the Dash. ..and then you don’t hardly even show THE DASH! 🤷‍♂️🤦

I had a 65 Galaxy with a 289 that got twenty mpg all day long on the highway.

listed curb weight of wagon was 3250 lbs, of 62 chevy ss 3500 lbs, advantage of 250 lbs to start. ford weighed also about 3500 lbs.

Another deceitful CLICK BAIT. YT needs to put a stop to this.

please look up meaning of the word "Literally" in the encyclopedia

Over sized trucks an saves that never gets used for what they were made for. Why can't us real people have big car's that we can use 😢

Baltimore County? I practically spent my life there till I was 30

Did Ai put this film together? V6 in 1963??

413 in a little economy car ! those guys knew how to run a car company back then

No Mopar V6 engines back then! Mopar put out a SLANT 6. Who wrote this???

the nash rambler station wagon with the powerful v8 was really fast.

Chrysler almost went bankrupt from downsizing the ‘62 Dodge and Plymouth lineups. Yeah, racers liked them because they kept the same engines, but sales tanked

Ah Valiant
