On "My Car Story" we're in the Suburbs of Phoenix AZ on 10-10-20.
We're looking at a 1964 Plymouth Savoy 2 Door in White Paint. The car comes with the factory 426 CI V8 “Street Wedge” engine which produces 365 HP.
The car's Owner is Ed Winkler. Ed’s had this car since 2017. He shares this car was owned by a Mom who asked her son what kind of car she should get? Well the young son saw the motor in this one and suggested this was a fine choice for mom. Sadly the mom passed and the family stored the car for 35+ years. This car is all original, and the car has just over 53,000 original miles.
ENJOY! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
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 CanadianCharlie64, Happy to read this car brings back memories :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
The banker had s Coronet
I also had a 69 Coronet. 318 engine Green with s black vinyl top.
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
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!,,,

Savoy . . . the ultimate sleeper car.
SHHHHH...we're sleepering :-)
The painted steel wheels and Dog Dish hubcaps are great. Real bad-ass, old school look that never goes out of style.
Hi scdevon, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Lou
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!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to read you enjoy the stickers :-) You're welcome, Lou
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.
Hi TCT9MM, Enjoy reading your comment :-) Happy to read you enjoy this "nice and nasty" car, Lou
And a ton of people at the drag strip...
Man that's stunning, I'd love to have a ride in that one.
Happy to read you think this car is "stunning" :-) Glad to share this ride with you.
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 !!
Hi Kevin, Happy to read you "Love the 426 savoy" :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Great to see that the 64 is still popular. My father had one exactly like it. He bought new in 64. Had red interior , with 3-spd on the column. First car I learned to drive. Brings back a lot of childhood memories.

Now that's a car story! 😎
Happy to read you enjoy this episode :-)
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 Denny, Sounds like a great car. You're the right Caretaker for your car. Well done! Lou
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.
Hi Chris, Happy to read you enjoy this "Sleeper" with the right motor :-) Lou
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.
Hi Easy Going, Happy to read you find this car is "beautiful" :-) Thanks for sharing, Lou
That is a remarkable piece of machinery to have survived into the 21st Century, as Plymouths back then were not built to last.

Incredible, stealth beast
And the routinely shared brochures and varied spec paperwork really ADD to the QUALITY of Lou’s videos
....what and how options were listed and what life was like via period marketing materials by manufacturer and model types
Big Thanks ED!!!
LOU is swiftly moving through “turn 3” and prepping for the final straightaway and 100,000 subscribers ...
Well said :-)
What a find, beautiful street wedge Savoy guys - love it. Thanks Lou great job.
Hi Bruce H, Happy to read you "love it" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Back when American companies knew how to make cars !

The overall design and in particular that Plymouth emblem script capture the early 60s so well…great car even had it been a slant 6.

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.

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 CZcams 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
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
a work of art, I love the simplicity of this car
Happy to read this one is a "work of art" :-)
Thanx Ed, and thanx Lou,that is one sweet old Mopar,I like that chirp that the car made going down the road,cheers.
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
Cars like this dominated Woodward Ave. back in the day. I had a 63 Chevy 2 SS with a 327 4 spd and couldn’t touch the Mopars. Fun times!
Hi trackman174, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your 63 Chevy :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing. Lou
A really nice car, some of the old and some of the new. I would love to find one like that!
Hi Gary, Happy to read your comment. Hope you find the right one for you soon, 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
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!
Hi iswc27, Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Happy to read you enjoy this story, 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!
Hi Adam, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Dad's car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Another fine step back in the time good job Lou
Hi Ronald, Happy to bring you back to 1964 with this car / video :-) 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
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 Daniel, Happy to read "I like this car!" :-) Glad to read this car brings back memories of your Friends car. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

Great as this is, i had pause it at 4:22.
Soon as i saw this, i'm thinking 'sleeper, Granma's grocery getter' but chirps the tires going into second.
This bit of a Nor Cal kid (i 'm one) picking this out for his Mom is priceless.
Happiest i've been all week !
Thanks, Lou !!
Hi Glen, "Happiest I've been all week!" YAHOO!! You're welcome, Lou
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.
Hi Russell, Happy to read "I love these cars" :-) Thanks for sharing your story, and my pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou

Hi Plymouth Die-Cast Replicas, High praise for this video :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, Lou
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

Hi Abe, Happy to read this is one you love :-) Lou
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
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.
Hi Marcus, Happy to read you "Love it" :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
I bet this surprised a lot of cars back in the day!!!
I'm sure you're right :-)
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.

Ed finds the best special classic cars that look pedestrian but are burners!
Hi Bruce, Glad to read you like this "burner" :-) 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
Be still my beating heart LOVE that car
Happy to read you "LOVE that car" :-)
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
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.

Hi Ruben, Just the way we like it :-) Lou
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
426 all the way, baby.

Not needed. This sleeper was meant to go forward, and very, very fast.

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.

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!

Happy to read this is a "My dream!" :-)
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
Hi Lou! Thank you for one more masterpiece! Interesting car! Imagine, if the police would do the road chase using this car nowadays! That would be fun to watch! To get some sirens on top and K9 in a front seat! :)

A survivor of the last of the the survivors. 1964 is generally considered to be the last year of items Chrysler had In the pipeline after it fired and demoted it's top engineering and design people during the panic of the Eisenhower recession in the late 1950s. While it had those people in positions they could make a difference Chrysler was at the top of USA design and engineering.
