Re: '65 Polara Convt w/ FACTORY 413ci for Sale

[dcasey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

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.
