Plymouth Fury. Engine looks like a 383?

Have you tried asking the occupants?  I’m sure they’re still in there...

Something Mopar, that’s an LA block V8 (318 or 360?) judging by the cylinder head intake ports

Definitely a Mopar, besides the shear ubiquity, how  are you sure it’s a 383 and not a 440?

Definitely a WAG, no real insider info here.

You’re certainly right it's a big block Mopar, just thought you had a magical way of telling, with only the long block visible.

Air conditioned big block D odge? I can’t see the distributor, but no hole in the back for it and those look like the fancy bigblock exhaust manifolds from the 60s, I guess new yorker/newport/3oo some thing like that.

No way, Genius. It’s a Mazda GLC. Too old for a 3.

2 more iderntifiers. 1) bolt on inner fenders not typical of 60's mopar and 2) 16 inch tires (you can read the sidewall.) Which would make this a unibody era Imperial. about 67-69, probably a convertibl e as other Imperials are difficult to rip in two.

Impressive! It did take a tumble down a mountain which would explain the “damage”.

I asked old Mopar boys. I spotted big block D odge.  They pored over the pics for quite awhile.

weird that the intake is missing. RB block chryslers all have 4 barrel intakes and they don’t fit on anything else.  So not of much use to anyone.
