OK JC, Another Automotive Trivia Question!

[Iron Woode]

Mopar made a number of Super Stock vehicles from 1961 till 1968.

Name the only factory small block Super Stock made. What was its size and name?

This one will be tough for non-moparites.

No. That is incorrect.

No more suspense:

It was the 1966 Dodge D-Dart. A 275 hp 273 engine. Manual tranny and a rear axle with 4.88 gears.

linky

Nice on the D-Dart!

1965 was the last Torqueflight with a rear pump...rear pump=driveshaft can pressurize trans-->trans can turn engine.

How about this one:

prior to 1960, Chevy made 4 models based on the full size chassis. Name them.

After 1960 the names of some of the 4 models changed.

 

[JC]

Weren't there 5 prior to 1960?

Biscayne, Parkwood (or was it Briarwood?), Bel Air, Impala, El Camino.


Of course, the names may have varied for you Canucks I know there was a 2-door wagon called the Yeoman.

I wouldn't count the El Camino.

Parkwood? BriarWood?

How about Del Ray instead.

 

[JC]

D'oh!

But I think the 4-door wagon was called the Parkwood, at least Stateside

So what about post-'60?
