Definitely a family resemblance, but the sound of that 8C was unlike anything I’ve heard in a long time

One has to keep asking. Some of your non-purchases don't stay non-purchased...

Well, now that you show them together - I was right, with beer goggles on and squinting just so they are identical.

Some of the folks in my office use the basement of the parking garage for storage, this showed up the other day.

I was out Saturday in Manassas in the Yorkshire area. This guy had several early 60s Mopars on his lot. This was a motor i hadn't seen before ---

Chrysler 300F cross-ram
The 1960 300F introduced a new, higher power 413 cu in (6.8 L) Wedge engine delivering 375 hp (280 kW) in standard form. To boost power at lower and mid rpms, a special "cross-ram" intake manifold was derived. Instead of the normal V8 engine central intake manifold with carburetor(s) on top, the cross-ram consisted of two pairs of 30 in (760 mm) long tuned pipes that criss-crossed so that each set fed the opposite side of the engine. The carburetors and air cleaners hung off the sides of the engine over the fender wells. These long tubes were tuned so that resonances in the column of air helped force air into the cylinders at those engine speeds.

Cruising down Cabrillo Hwy outside Half Moon Bay spotted 15 Lambos and other exotics Saturday most likely cars and coffee deal. Too slow with camera but did get this original:
