Now that's a "nice and nasty" Savoy!! Such an unassuming car that probably surprised the heck out of a ton of people at the stop lights! This survivor is a beautiful time capsule. GREAT VIDEO LOU.
The 426 Street Wedge was available in late 64 and all of 65 . The motor was rated at 365 HP . A lot of highway patrols used the 426 . it was a dog up to 50 or 60 mph where a good 383 could stay with it . Because of the additional cubic inches it had a great top end .The motors performance was hindered by the low riser intake which allowed the air cleaner to clear the hood . i owned a 1965 Coronet 500 4 speed with this engine . Also of note Plymouth never had a 348 c. u. motor , it would of had to be a 361 or 383
Yes, like the lucky 16 yr old , I was the same age when we ordered a Brand new 64 Dodge Polara 500 with the 426 Wedge and the 4-sp Manual trans...Of note it arrived the same week that JFK was assassinated in Nov, 1963!,,,

Mr. Winkler's Savoy probably is the fastest car on his block. Normally I'm impressed by the motor and this car has a fine one too, but all those registration stickers is just amazing! Thanks, Lou!
Love the 426 savoy .... beautiful survivor mopar ! The spinnaker white ( w1) was real popular for a lot of years.! I'm glad he has left it stock & original as he can ,too ! Thanks Lou, for another great car story. Can't wait till the next one !!
During my senior year in high school, my father bought a brand new 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury 318 in silver grey with red interior. The car was magnificent, elegant, quite fast, and well built. My dad let me drive it to school daily. Wonderful memories. Wonderful dad.

Another great survivor and a Chrysler Corp. Car my favorite combination. I really dig the " sleeper" look with the dog dish caps and best of all that 426 v8.
Taking me back again Lou.. My pops had a dark blue '64 Belvedere... I remember being around 6 years old or so, at the time..and sitting on pops lap going down the road. He loved that car. Nice one here!

This car is beautiful. My first car was a ‘64 Belvedere, 318, 4 Dr, white w red interior. The dash and instrumentation was identical to this specimen. I remember having the identical factory shop manual and sales brochure. This gives me vivid 55- year flashbacks. Of all the cars I've owned (including a Superbird) my heart aches to drive that Belvedere again.

Very nice car. The 426 street wedge was a good muscle car that didn't get more recognition because it wasn't exclusively available in a specific performance model as was the case with the GTO. I have a '64 Polara 500 that was originally a 426 street wedge/4 speed, but had already been given a Max Wedge transplant before I got it when I was 18 in the mid seventies. Ever since then it's been a legal NHRA stock eliminator car with a 426 Max Wedge (and its 4 speed since 1994 after running it for 20 years with a torqueflite). After being away for 48 years, I now also have the aluminum front end 13.5:1 compression 426 Max Wedge '63 Plymouth Savoy that my dad bought new in 1963. It is immaculate, thanks to care from my dad and its subsequent owners/collectors before I bought it back over 6 years ago. All but 7 years of my life has been spent with these cars. I'll never get tired of them.
Hi, Lou! This body style was sold as a standard-size Plymouth in Savoy, Belvedere and Fury series in '64, then was held over for one more year but was sold as an intermediate carrying the Belvedere name, with the Fury name handed up to the revived big Plymouth, while the Savoy name was retired. The story of "The Son from Pasadena" makes for quite an amusing anecdote! I'll say this for him, he did exactly what the brochure told him: "Get up and go Plymouth"! LOL! Thanks for another fun ride with you and Ed! Keep 'em coming!
I love these cars. They were terrors on the street and track back in the day.This one looks so innocent and unassuming. I bet it suprised a few Fords and Chevys in its day. My late friend had a 64 Fury with the four speed and the 426 Hemi, cross fire. His was dark blue with the Cragar SS. Big slicks in the back and little tires up front and headers that sounded glorious when uncorked. :) I don't know where the car went after he passed as I was just about 12 or 13 at the time but I pray it ended up in good hands. Thank you for sharing this beauty.
Cars look so much nicer the original way they came from the factory...it took me a few years to realize this.(but it would be fun to live those years again
Hi Marty, Cars have an amazing way of looking better with age. Good news! Stay tuned to this TH-cam Channel and we'll share the cars you and I enjoy, so it will be like going back in time, like reliving those years, Lou
Hi Eric, Happy to read you enjoy this car giving us the right sounds going down the road :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Fantastic video, Lou! That's an incredibly stunning machine! I like mainly the driving part. That sweet-sounding Mopar poweplant... And that area is absolutely perfect for driving with the car like this. Beautiful!
Real treat seeing this vehicle in all its glory. That's what l call a real sleeper. Amazing interior car looks new. Love it Lou and thank you for sharing. Take care and stay safe. Canada.
Wow Lou what a great unit and owner here. I loved the 1964 Plymouth line. When I was a kid we had a 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury Station Wagon. It was a awesome car had it for years it had the extra bumper guards and had the red white and blue badge on the sides. It was a 318 and watching you both work the push button drive and park handle so reminded me of our old 1964 Plymouth. It worked Just like that did. He has a true treasure here I loved that plain Jane powerhouse and especially it was a automatic which I really liked. It was a great show piece and piece of automotive history. Really a great ride along and I so enjoyed the engine sound. Just a fun video Lou I really enjoyed this one a lot. As always Lou thanks for sharing with us!!!
Hi Steve, Happy to receive a "Wow" from you :-) glad to read this one brings back memories of your Wagon. You're welcome, and glad you're along for the ride, Lou
Back in 64, my dad tried to find ANY Plymouth with the 426 street wedge and 4 speed. Couldn't find 1 in the Chicagoland area. He settled on a white on black 64 Sport Fury 383 4 speed, his 1st brand new car . That car was updated with a Isky cam, headers, Hurst shifter, 3.91 rear gears and power tuned by Mr Norm himself at Grand Spaulding (sp) on a chassis dyno, where a hemi spec dual point distributor was also installed in 1966. With a 10 inch slick, the car ran low 13s at 112+ at US 30 dragstrip. He had the car until 1976, when Il. rust finally claimed it. Of the early B's, the 64 is my fav styling wise. Nice to finally see 1!
Ed is a nice guy with a VERY nice rare car. The back story was great. The mother must've said to herself "wow....this car is pretty peppy!" HAHA. '64-'66 was a very nice period for Plymouth. Very tastefully designed cars.
Magnificent!!! Would love to meet the Son who convinced his Mom into " this is the car for you." Personally, I'll take a single 4 barrel over a Six Pack or Dual quads... and for some reason why, I'll take the Buick 455's torque over the 426 hemi's horsepower. So I don't have to drive around on a Friday night with a screwdriver in my pocket. Great Find Lou! Props to the owner as well
I rode in one of these Brand new at 15/16 i was happy. Funny 6 years later i was working at Chrysler engineering, engine development and first project was on the future 1970 440 6 pack/bbl., i new the feeling.

I like this car! I got to drive a 64 Fury in 1972. A friend, I worked with bought a new Chrysler and needed to get both cars home, so we went to the dealership to pick up the Chrysler and I drove his Plymouth home for him. I enjoyed the drive. In styling this one definitely beat Chevrolet that year. It was competitive with Ford.
Hi Norm, I'm learning all the time from the Care Takers, and I find that to be so much FUN :-) Happy you're enjoying the episodes :-) Glad you enjoy this story & episode, Lou
@@loucostabile 1964 was the last year Chrysler used push button transmission controls. Newer cars had a traditional column shift except for those with center consoles.
A true and healthy survivor, and a monster sleeper !!. Most people that see this car in the street will think that is a plain old Valiant with a bland slant six in it !!
Beautiful car Ed! The GTO gets the credit for being the first muscle car. And it was the first to come as a package with trim and emblems. But these Mopars, sinse the 1962 downsize became the intermediates in 1965. The first of the B bodies that lasted until 1978.
A lot of those holes in the trunk area are not for lightening as much as they are for holding specfic parts in the jigs for stamping process so they don't move in cut out and bending shaping process, and condensation ventilation for entrapment areas in channels.

As you described my buddy has the midwest one, little rotted but he only paid $1200 way back, like over 30 yrs back, still has it. 65 Coronet 426 Max Wedge with cross ram manifold and 4 speed. Hard to plant that much to the wheels as he wants it original.
Perfect road to gas that big V8, sunshine helps, love the plain jaine looks, white and blue combo works, can see why you showcased this one Lou, sure it would be a hoot to drive!
The carburetor on the 426 street wedge was very small. It had 1.438 primary throttle bore and 1.563 secondary throttle bore. According to the Sox and Martin catalog it only flowed about 475 cfm.

You can tell it was pulling nice in 1st and 2nd gear. You could surprise a lot of people at traffic lights and you don't need good tires if you step into it easy from a roll.
I just bought an all original 64 Plymouth Savoy 426 Street Wedge 4-speed car last week. Unrestored and only driven 2000 miles since the summer of 1979! Black with the same blue interior as the car Lou just showed us. Very proud to be the caretaker of this Rare Savoy.
Hi Dave, Happy to read you just bought a 64 Plymouth Savoy 426 Steet Wedge 4 Speed. Hope you have many days of enjoyment driving that fun car, Lou P.S. Have you seen this one too? th-cam.com/video/oKmxxAumqh8/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful car. Another great video Lou love watching your channel. My Uncle built a 1963 Fury convertible Max Wedge clone car. He put the cross ram dual four barrels on it. I hope to see a numbers matching Max Wedge car someday.
Hi PlymouthDuster 225, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Uncles car :-) Here is that Max Wedge you're looking for. Enjoy, Lou th-cam.com/video/iFEHIBoqTTY/w-d-xo.html
Theres a 64 Polara max wedge in my area. I think there is a sticker on the glass, which has trailering instructions for the carrier that delivered it new to the dealer. The owner also displays the window sticker. IIRC, it states that since its not for street use, there is no factory warranty. Maybe they were all this way, but Its a heater delete car, too. All of the factory lightweights from that era are super cool!
Super beauty! Always loved the look of the Savoy. Balanced look to the design, just right proportions and sized nicely. Perfect hot rod, plain Jane with a monster engine under the hood. I wonder if the previous owners son ever did let his mother know what he was doing with her go to work car on the weekends? LOL, nice car Ed, you are great guardian of this masterpiece. Cheers🍻🇨🇦🥂🇺🇸👍

Goodday Lou, It is amazing how you just keep finding these amazing cars. Did Ed mention it is 1 of 10 426 Street Wedge Savoy build. That is absolutely amazing that it survived, waiting for you to show us. Also here in Australia we never got anything resembling post sedan 2 doors. Just curious do the back windows recline up & down or are they fixed. Absolutely a sleeper & a half. Imagine this Savoy giving you a hiding at a traffic light drag. Another great video as per usual. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤
Goodday Louis, Happy to share this find with you. You know, I don't seem to check on back window operation, however I do not believe the windows are fixed. You're right, a "Sleeper and a half" :-) Thank you for your kind words on this video, and appreciate you being my # 1 Fan in Australia, Lou
Read a story about this car a while back somewhere,can't remember where.Luckily the son didn't blow the engine taking it to the strip!I think mom would have been pretty pissed lol!
WAOW ! WHAT A GREAT CAR. 426 ENGINE 4 BARRELL. PUSH BUTTON GEAR ON DASH EXCELLENT I REMEMBER MY UNCLE WITH A '64 DODGE 4DSD. SAME SET UP .BEIGE , BROWN INTERIOR LOVE THE OLD POLICE CAR LOOKS AGAIN. AFEW CHANGES ALUMINUM RADIATOR COIL OVERS WILLWOOD DISC BRAKES ...(426 ?) YES EXACTLY HONEY OF A CAR. THX LOU THX. "FONZ" WINKLER LOLHA
Hi Andrew, Happy to read you enjoy this "HONEY OF A CAR" :-) Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Uncles car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
My dad got a ride in a Wedge Mopar after he helped a friend do a brake job on one for its owner. Not sure whether it boasted a 413 or 426. But they took it for a shakedown/test drive and my father said the car's acceleration was nothing short of scary!
Love the car. Don't see many. Fast for an automatic. I miss hood emblums on cars. When diving they gave a sense of placement and direction of the front of the car. I am surprised more vehicles didn't use more of the push button selectors for trans
What a beautiful survivor! The story about the son picking the car out and racing it is hilarious.
Hi GLHS592, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car, and the story too :-) Lou
Im guessing mom never put her foot into it...or maybe she did...lol
I remember as a kid in the early 70's seeing these beautiful Mopars on the Beverly Hillbillies

Hi TCT9MM, Enjoy reading your comment :-) Happy to read you enjoy this "nice and nasty" car, Lou

I noticed he said 348 also ... must of been thinking about a chevy ! 318,361,383,426,440 ! Mopars ! Mopar or no car !
Yes, like the lucky 16 yr old , I was the same age when we ordered a Brand new 64 Dodge Polara 500 with the 426 Wedge and the 4-sp Manual trans...Of note it arrived the same week that JFK was assassinated in Nov, 1963!,,,

Another fine step back in the time good job Lou
Hi Ronald, Happy to bring you back to 1964 with this car / video :-) Lou
Back in 64, my dad tried to find ANY Plymouth with the 426 street wedge and 4 speed. Couldn't find 1 in the Chicagoland area. He settled on a white on black 64 Sport Fury 383 4 speed, his 1st brand new car . That car was updated with a Isky cam, headers, Hurst shifter, 3.91 rear gears and power tuned by Mr Norm himself at Grand Spaulding (sp) on a chassis dyno, where a hemi spec dual point distributor was also installed in 1966. With a 10 inch slick, the car ran low 13s at 112+ at US 30 dragstrip. He had the car until 1976, when Il. rust finally claimed it. Of the early B's, the 64 is my fav styling wise. Nice to finally see 1!
Hi Adam, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Dad's car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Ed is a nice guy with a VERY nice rare car. The back story was great. The mother must've said to herself "wow....this car is pretty peppy!" HAHA. '64-'66 was a very nice period for Plymouth. Very tastefully designed cars.
Hi Joseph, I think you're right, Mom must have like the way this car "just seems to go" :-) Lou
Magnificent!!! Would love to meet the Son who convinced his Mom into " this is the car for you." Personally, I'll take a single 4 barrel over a Six Pack or Dual quads... and for some reason why, I'll take the Buick 455's torque over the 426 hemi's horsepower. So I don't have to drive around on a Friday night with a screwdriver in my pocket. Great Find Lou! Props to the owner as well
Hi Brian, "Magnificent!!!" High praise. Thanks for viewing and sharing what you'd do, Lou
I rode in one of these Brand new at 15/16 i was happy. Funny 6 years later i was working at Chrysler engineering, engine development and first project was on the future 1970 440 6 pack/bbl., i new the feeling.

Hi jakespeed63, Happy to read you enjoy this episode :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you. You're welcome, Lou
Had a 64 Sports Fury, swapped out the 383 with a 440. Same color, what a hell of a car. Sold it in 01. Sure do miss it.

I like this car! I got to drive a 64 Fury in 1972. A friend, I worked with bought a new Chrysler and needed to get both cars home, so we went to the dealership to pick up the Chrysler and I drove his Plymouth home for him. I enjoyed the drive. In styling this one definitely beat Chevrolet that year. It was competitive with Ford.

What and awesome survivor car . Great story. Love your episode.Keep finding those car . I'll be viewing and learning about those rare classic.
Hi Norm, I'm learning all the time from the Care Takers, and I find that to be so much FUN :-) Happy you're enjoying the episodes :-) Glad you enjoy this story & episode, Lou
Thanks for showing the push button gear selection- I’ve always wondered how they worked in a pre electronic era.
Hi Jeff, I thought that was interesting when he engaged the transmission, so I'm glad to see you enjoyed that too. Lou
@@loucostabile 1964 was the last year Chrysler used push button transmission controls. Newer cars had a traditional column shift except for those with center consoles.
@@1575murray reverse was placed between park and neutral, which was first used in Ford products
awesome classic...sneaky, as i see it with stock look, and super power under the hood! awesome and scary!! love it!
Hi mouse, "awesome and scary!! love it!" NICE! Lou
Ed finds the best special classic cars that look pedestrian but are burners!
Hi Bruce, Glad to read you like this "burner" :-) Lou
A true and healthy survivor, and a monster sleeper !!. Most people that see this car in the street will think that is a plain old Valiant with a bland slant six in it !!
Hi Fabio, Enjoyed reading you're comment, and you're right this one is a "monster sleeper !!" :-) Lou
the chrome lasing for all those years...is a real tribute to the auto workers of the time. They were real artisans!!
Hi Chris, Good point. Thanks for sharing, Lou
thanks
Wow! Another home run video with an incredible rare Mopar!...Keep’em coming Lou!..👍
Hi Miguel, High praise for this car :-) I'll do my best to keep'em coming, Lou
Beautiful car Ed! The GTO gets the credit for being the first muscle car. And it was the first to come as a package with trim and emblems. But these Mopars, sinse the 1962 downsize became the intermediates in 1965. The first of the B bodies that lasted until 1978.
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car, and thanks for sharing your knowledge too.
What a great original Mopar. A legendary car! That HEMI Exhaust note is music to my ears. Thanks Lou! 👀🏳️🌈
Hi Bryan, High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
Awesome survivor 👏👏
“No reverse lights at the time”.
Not needed. This sleeper was meant to go forward, and very, very fast.
Hi Ricky F, Happy to read you enjoy this "Awesome survivor" :-) Lou
A lot of those holes in the trunk area are not for lightening as much as they are for holding specfic parts in the jigs for stamping process so they don't move in cut out and bending shaping process, and condensation ventilation for entrapment areas in channels.

As you described my buddy has the midwest one, little rotted but he only paid $1200 way back, like over 30 yrs back, still has it. 65 Coronet 426 Max Wedge with cross ram manifold and 4 speed.
Hard to plant that much to the wheels as he wants it original.
Hi Terry, Sounds like your Buddy has a FUN car :-) Lou
Perfect road to gas that big V8, sunshine helps, love the plain jaine looks, white and blue combo works, can see why you showcased this one Lou, sure it would be a hoot to drive!
Hi Ron, Happy to read you enjoy the "open road" ride with us with this car :-) Lou
I ❤ the story behind this sweet car.
Hi James, Happy to read you enjoy the story & this car :-) Lou
Another great episode, Lou.
Thank you TonyButcher2, glad you enjoy this one :-)
The carburetor on the 426 street wedge was very small. It had 1.438 primary throttle bore and 1.563 secondary throttle bore. According to the Sox and Martin catalog it only flowed about 475 cfm.

Hi Durango 69, Happy to read this one is "fantastic" :-) Glad you're along for this ride, Lou
Talk about the epitome of "the sleeper"!!! Super cool car!!!
Happy to read you appreciate this one :-)
You can tell it was pulling nice in 1st and 2nd gear. You could surprise a lot of people at traffic lights and you don't need good tires if you step into it easy from a roll.
I bet this surprised a lot of cars back in the day!!!
I'm sure you're right :-)
I just bought an all original 64 Plymouth Savoy 426 Street Wedge 4-speed car last week. Unrestored and only driven 2000 miles since the summer of 1979! Black with the same blue interior as the car Lou just showed us. Very proud to be the caretaker of this Rare Savoy.
Hi Dave, Happy to read you just bought a 64 Plymouth Savoy 426 Steet Wedge 4 Speed. Hope you have many days of enjoyment driving that fun car, Lou P.S. Have you seen this one too? th-cam.com/video/oKmxxAumqh8/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful car👍🏼❤️
Hi Gary, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Beautiful car. Another great video Lou love watching your channel. My Uncle built a 1963 Fury convertible Max Wedge clone car. He put the cross ram dual four barrels on it. I hope to see a numbers matching Max Wedge car someday.
Hi PlymouthDuster 225, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Uncles car :-) Here is that Max Wedge you're looking for. Enjoy, Lou th-cam.com/video/iFEHIBoqTTY/w-d-xo.html
Awesome car love the originality
High praise :-)
Theres a 64 Polara max wedge in my area. I think there is a sticker on the glass, which has trailering instructions for the carrier that delivered it new to the dealer. The owner also displays the window sticker. IIRC, it states that since its not for street use, there is no factory warranty. Maybe they were all this way, but Its a heater delete car, too. All of the factory lightweights from that era are super cool!
Hi blh7068 71F-bird, Sounds like a GREAT car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Always love a survivor car.
Hi Abe, Happy to read this is one you love :-) Lou
Badass car!!! Sleeper for sure!!
Hi Ruben, Just the way we like it :-) Lou
Super beauty! Always loved the look of the Savoy. Balanced look to the design, just right proportions and sized nicely. Perfect hot rod, plain Jane with a monster engine under the hood. I wonder if the previous owners son ever did let his mother know what he was doing with her go to work car on the weekends? LOL, nice car Ed, you are great guardian of this masterpiece.
Cheers🍻🇨🇦🥂🇺🇸👍
Hi Trip Reviews, High praise for the looks of this car :-) Cheers, Lou
18:00 I never heard of a 348 Plymouth eng. whats he talking about? Chevy I believe had a 348.
Hi Nicky, Hmmm, not sure. Here is the wikipedia info for Chrysler engines. Enjoy, Lou en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chrysler_engines
@@loucostabile No 348 listed.
A very cool car. Wonder if they made any of these with aluminum sheet metal front end?
Hemi cars. 😀
Hi Steve, Here is one that I think fits your description. Enjoy! Lou th-cam.com/video/BwslTawTIA8/w-d-xo.html

Lou same trans in my 413 wedge 727 torqueflite except with a shift kit yeah!
NICE Chevy nova Wagon !
Goodday Lou,
It is amazing how you just keep finding these amazing cars.
Did Ed mention it is 1 of 10 426 Street Wedge Savoy build.
That is absolutely amazing that it survived, waiting for you to show us.
Also here in Australia we never got anything resembling post sedan 2 doors.
Just curious do the back windows recline up & down or are they fixed.
Absolutely a sleeper & a half.
Imagine this Savoy giving you a hiding at a traffic light drag.
Another great video as per usual.
Your number 1 Fan in Australia
Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤
Goodday Louis, Happy to share this find with you. You know, I don't seem to check on back window operation, however I do not believe the windows are fixed. You're right, a "Sleeper and a half" :-) Thank you for your kind words on this video, and appreciate you being my # 1 Fan in Australia, Lou
Wow!! Just wow!!
:-)
Read a story about this car a while back somewhere,can't remember where.Luckily the son didn't blow the engine taking it to the strip!I think mom would have been pretty pissed lol!
Hi Marshall 1959, You're right, if the engine was blown, Mom would not be to happy, Lou
WAOW ! WHAT A GREAT CAR. 426 ENGINE 4 BARRELL. PUSH BUTTON GEAR ON DASH EXCELLENT

My dream! Nice car!
Happy to read this is a "My dream!" :-)
My dad got a ride in a Wedge Mopar after he helped a friend do a brake job on one for its owner. Not sure whether it boasted a 413 or 426. But they took it for a shakedown/test drive and my father said the car's acceleration was nothing short of scary!
Hi AMCmachine, Thanks for sharing the story of your Dads ride :-) Lou
Love the car. Don't see many. Fast for an automatic. I miss hood emblums on cars. When diving they gave a sense of placement and direction of the front of the car. I am surprised more vehicles didn't use more of the push button selectors for trans
Hi Keith, Happy to read you "Love the car" :-) Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the transmission, Lou
@@loucostabile please keep these videos going I love them.
I had a 64 fury and wish I still had it.
