Just out of interest, how many model 66 tourers are still surviving?? (if any!)

Great job mate, and thanks for sharing your story! I look forward to reading your future posts, and seeing the Chrysler hit the road!!

Hi Mark and Sasha39 Thank you both for your comments and pictures, very helpful indeed! I just need to stop procrastinating and make a start on my timber frame!

G'day Mark, Great job with your project, and thanks for sharing the details of your build! Can I ask.....is the main timber support rail (running parallel to the chassis) one complete piece of timber from the cowl to the rear of the chassis? Or, does the height change over the rear wheels? At some point I need to make a start on my own project, and I am not too sure how the timber in the rear section will look, as my car is a roadster. Lambroast (pm sent)

Thanks Mark, I will post a message on their page!

Does anyone know if there is a difference in gear ratios between the 1927 Reo Flying Cloud transmission, and the 1929 with the silent-second transmission? I can find the ratios for a 1929, (1st 3.13 to 1, 2nd 1.66 to 1, top 1:1) but I cannot find any information for the '27! Any help would be appreciated, Matt

Sasha, could you keep us posted on the outcome? We had a spare 65 engine, and the head off that engine is now on a model 70. The early 70’s engines are about an inch shorter than the later models. The later model 70’s share the same engine as a 77.

Hi Sasha, what body style is your 77 that you are fixing up?

Try vintageandclassicreproductions.com They have new impellers listed under Chrysler parts.

Hi Graeme, Any idea when the heads will be available, and what the cost might be?

If you have a look at www.crankshaftcoalition.com (click on 'engines' then, 'MOPAR inline flathead engines') there is a table listing all the models of the Chrysler flat head six, giving - year, model, displacement. It could be a handy reference point to compare models!

Chrysler 75, waiting for some love!

Wow, that's very interesting that your car has the Locke body tag! I didn't realise Locke made bodies for the 75! I will look forward to hearing more about the research of your car. If I can locate a picture of the cabriolet I mentioned earlier, I will add it to this post. The car is sitting in the back corner of my friends shed, waiting to be restored!
