This well optioned 1964 Dodge Custom 880 convertible was purchased Horace E Dodge Jr, son of Dodge co-founder Horace E Dodge, as a present for his mother Anna Thompson Dodge, the widow of Horace E Dodge.

Slant Six 1969 Plymouth Fury III on Craigslist
BangShift has found this clean but dusty (is that even possible?) 1969 Fury III on Craigslist. This car is very unusual in that, while the Fury III was near the top of the Fury lineup, it’s equipped with a slant 6 and a manual three speed! Chrysler’s six was a war horse but in a 1969 C-body? Can you say sluggish acceleration? Find the original Craigslist ad here. More pics after the jump!
1972 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham on Craigslist
Hooniverse found this 36,000 mile mint green monster for sale in San Francisco. Asking price is $8,500. For that you get leather, a/c, new whitewalls, power everything and a 440. Find the original ad here. More pcs after the jump!
1969-73 Imperial Coupe: Obscure Muscle Car?
Hooniverse poses the question; Is the 1969 to 1973 Imperial Coupe a muscle car? That body style sure did age nicely. Do your patriotic duty and vote. More pics after the jump!
Have You Seen This 1970 Plymouth Fury III Convertible?

Chrysler’s Fuselage Styling
Mac’s Motor City Garage gives a short review on Chrysler’s 1969-73 C body fuselage styling, a styling theme that seems to be more appreciated now than when it was new. The hidden headlight models win, hands down. More brochure pics after the jump!
Wrap Up From the Charles Kee Estate Sale
The Charles Kee Estate Sale was May 8th and 9th in Brothers, Oregon and it was a blast to attend. They had 1000 boxes of parts for sale and 200 cars, most of it Mopar! I was there from the front lines bidding and buying parts along with a bunch of other Mopar fanatics. The cars ended up going for pretty cheap, most at not much more than scrap prices with a few exceptions. The parts were a little more expensive but lots of treasures were to be found in the hundreds and hundreds of banana boxes that Charles Kee used to store stuff. It is hard to show the scale of how many parts were here but we tried with this picture.
1962 Chrysler 300 in the Charles Kee Collection
The next car we are featuring looks like it was one of Charles Kee’s personal cars he wanted to keep. It is a 1962 Chrysler 300 2-door with a big block engine. This is a really nice car, and like many others, Charles Kee put blankets over the dash and seats to preserve them from the desert sun.
1966 Chrysler Newport in the Charles Kee Collection
Miss our last post on the Kee collection? James G. Murphy will hold the estate sale of Charles Kee on May 8 and 9 in Brothers, Oregon. Charles has a huge collection of Mopar cars and parts and we got the opportunity to go out and look at some of the stuff. Read more about the 1966 Chrysler Newport in this collection after the jump! (We want to apologize that some of the pictures in this post are not very good–it was 35 degrees and raining with a 30 MPH wind when we took these, our camera got some water on it a few times).
