Yes Dave Coronet 440 with a 440 and 4 speed 3.91 posi.

Wow a 440 4 speed most of these cars were the Torqueflite weren't they? My Nephew had a 68 Cuda S model notch back it had a factory 383, last year he did some digging and found out there was only about 66 of these cars made. In the next town over this guy has a 65 or 66 Plymouth Fury 1 2 door sedan that has a 383 in it, I'm not really sure if this is the original motor or not if it is I'd have to say this might be kinda rare.

That car's a 65,the last year for the push button shifter was 63.For a street car in 65,the largest engine for that Coronet would have been the 426-S.The 440 is a transplant.The first year for the 440 was maybe 66 in the Imperial.
