I have a buddy who has a 63 Fury convertable with a 318 3 speed that his grandparents bought new. The radiator started leaking so He takes it to a local shop to be fixed. The guy tells him he has one of a kind and would need to find another one. He says he cant find any stock looking ones. Can any of you guys let me know of a supplier or maybe have a good one where you may have made a drag car at one time?
There are a ton of aluminum ones in the $ 150 range on Ebay right now. Just type in 1963 Plymouth radiator. Don
He really wants to keep it original looking , I already tried that . Maybe if no luck He will have no other choice.. Thanks though
Leaking, as in damage to the core? Why didn't the shop offer to re-core it? Or, leaking, as in damage to the top or bottom tank? The only reason it would be called "one-of-a-kind" is the 318-spd package and the lack of trans cooler in bottom tank. Other 63 Ply v-8 and most likely Dodge (in the same body line) should interchange. You might find that the bottom tank needs to be swapped but all else should be similar and if the 'numbers' are special then the top tank could be swapped.
