Wow, very cool site! I stumbled across the site a little while back, but just decided to drop a line and say way cool car! I have a '61 Plymouth Sport Suburban 6 pass wagon. The car had been in storage for over 30 years and could easily be considered a "survior". The car currently has a wore out 318 poly, but I have been working on replacing it with a 413 sonoramic commando long ram motor. I just got the motor back from the shop a little while ago and I'm in the middle of restoring the long ram setup, air cleaners, original 2903S carter carbs, manifolds (intake and exhaust) and all of the other linkage and small parts. I'm also in the middle of putting together a '61 Plymouth site (something that seems to be sorely needed!) I'm aware of the '6o Plymouth site ( home.comcast.net/~wilson1450/mopar.htm ) but very little is out there about the '61 cars, discounting this site of course! Thanks so much for a cool site and a great sourse of info! Here are a few pics of the wagon.....

I also wanted to let you know about a cool bunch of guys that are into the "old school" style of racing called Pro-Stick. Check out their site...... I'd love to see your car at one of the meets!
