Great points, Dave. According to Galen's report on this car, the 413
was offered in two versions. 340hp and 360hp. the 360hp is the same
rating as the 413 wedge in my 300L so the engines are probably quite
similar. maybe mopar wasn't originally planning on offering the 413
in the polara then?
galen's report "says" that about 15 polara convertibles were made
with the 413 wedge. if true, you're ride just got a bit rarer then!

Subject: Re: '65 Polara Convt w/ FACTORY 413ci for Sale
I don't know about "spring special" to move sales. My '65 Polara 500
convertible was built in January of '65 with a 413 (Engine code AB =
99, guess that makes it an A-990!). The engine was stamped to have
been assembled in the summer of '64.
The 413-4bbl is one of the engine options listed in the back of the
factory owners manual (along with 383-2, 383-4, and 426W-4).
From what I can tell, the 413 was only offered with the 727. The
same engine was available in the '65 Chrysler line, but I believe
the 300-L got the 360 HP version with mechanical lifters. that same
360 horse engine was also the Police Interceptor motor for '65.
So from what I can tell, they were always planning to offer the 413
in '65 C-bodies. They replaced it with the 440 in '66. I don't think
the 440 made it to the B-bodies until '67 after they realized the
hemi wasn't as street friendly as they'd hoped.
Only 15 built? Did anyone ask Galen how many were triple black?
Maybe mine is more rare than I thought.

Quoting "Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>:
Thanks for the lead. Unique car. Lot of work too.... Would be fun when done!
BTW, Chrysler put a version of the 413 in trucks and motor homes
for a number of years after 1965, though I can't remember when that
practice ended.

Contrary to popular belief, the 413 wedge did see 1965. Turns out that
Dodge created a "Spring Special" package for the Polara to clear
out a few
left-over engines. Believe that GG says that 15 Polara convertibles were
so equipped with the 413 in '65. This car has been documented by GG and
the auction house can provide the paperwork. The auction is tomorrow, but
phone bids can be accommodated.
Car is definitely a project, but a rare bird without doubt. ...
