Ramchargers help needed

[caine440]

Hi Guys

I am looking for information and photos of the 1961 Dodge the Ramchargers raced.

Thanks!

I spent nearly a week looking for stuff on this car, not much but the pic you have, it seems to be overshadowed by the other Ramcharger cars. I keep an eye out...

Maybe the Walter P. Chrysler Museum archives?

Never thought of the museum.

I did the same thing and used the normal searches and came up with only this photo.

[Ramcharger]

'61 Dodge Phoenix, white exterior, red interior, 413 cross ram automatic trans, Red and black lettering on the car (similar to the "62 car). Basically a stock '61 Dodge. Not many photos of this car because it was 1961 and the Ramchargers were just getting started. I'll see if I have any more photos than the ones you have when I get home. I doubt it though, they are rare as hens teeth.

For anybody that is into the Ramchargers or drag racing you need to purchase this book. It is a great read. Has some great pics as well.

Here is a couple of engine shots of the car in the book.

Here is another pic of the side of the car

Thanks Again!

I bought the book and WOW what a wealth of information.

I was a modified long ram 413 but not an automatic but a 3 speed with a homemade floor shifter. Lots of great info on the building of the car but not the interior color. It does not look dark enough tin the black and white photos to be red.

Thanks for all the info and help guys.

Old black and white film prints can be misleading as they can make yellow look like a dark color and dark colors look light. I think it was called orthochromatic film that had this effect. Just saying that it could still be red.

I did not know that.

Thanks!
