I took my drivers test in January of 67 in my Mom's !962 Dodge Dart 440. HowStuffWorks "1962 Dodge Dart 413: A Profile of a Muscle Car"
Unfortunately, it didn't have a "Max Wedge" like the one in the photo (just a 318) but it was a 2 dr. hardtop, and it had the numbers "413" on the license plate. (Faked out more than a few stoplight challengers afraid to take a chance).
I paid $550 for my very first car in the spring of 67. It was a white 1963 Dodge 880 convertible, 361-2bl (un-maxed) wedge V8. Only "mods" I made were chrome Crager SS mag wheels, mounted on (then, hardly ever seen) BFG radial tires. And big honkin dual exhaust with "glass-pack" mufflers.
Big boat of a car, basically a Chrysler New Port with a Dodge front end. Lots of fun to go "parking" in though, plenty of room to strech out.
A lot of Dodge 880's were used as Highway Patrol cars back then. Because they really felt "planted" in highway pursuit situations.
