That is the Richard Rigoli car I mentioned. He lived near me in Massachusetts and at one point had a beautiful Letter Car for each year between ‘56 and ‘62. He also built a “pro-stock” H in purple that was in several magazines. I didn’t realize a number of his cars sold at that auction and that H was a bargain.

FYI This beautiful white 300-H coupe hammered at a bargain $35,000 at RM's Auburn, IN 2014 Spring Auction - wearing its dealer-installed rams - part of a large collection of very nice Letter Cars sold at that auction. My buddy Dave purchased his black F Coupe there, that crossed the block just two cars in front of this '62. I don't know who the lucky buyer is/was.

The 405hp short ram setup was a dealer installed option. Richard Rigoli has/had a white H with the short ram setup. Jim Kramer has a ‘62 300 short ram Sport that was raced by (I think) Bud Faubel and that Jim restored. Jim may also know where the Hot Rod/Ray Brock car is (if it still exists). If I recall, the car ran a 12.88.

Speaking of the short cross rams. If memory serves me correctly the short cross rams were dealer installed ? Thanks Val

In 1962 Hot Rod magazine ran a 1962 300 coupe with cross rams and beat everyone except when Ray Block was sent to cover the Daytona 500 and someone else drove his 30 and lost to a 62’ Pontiac. Is that car still around?

Also, I have an extra 3259s carburetor, but someone stripped it of some parts including the choke assembly, choke shaft, choke flap, choke linkage for high idol, and four meter rods. If I can rebuilt it for future needs down the road or help someone that needs a 3259s.

What do we know about the 355 HP 300-B hemi-engined cars? Did any make it to the civilian world? Has anyone converted a “standard” 300-B engine to the 355 HP spec’s? I recall that the 355’s had a higher compression ratio (11:1 ?). Different cam? Pistons, ignition? Anything else? Noted on the Car Record Cards?
