12 Volt 1965-1974 Chrys ler 640 CA 560 CCA 59

The TURBO START 12 Volt 1965-1974 Chrysler 640 CA 560 CCA 59 battery is purpose-built for classic Mopar muscle car and full-size sedan restoration projects where modern reliability meets vintage authenticity. Designed specifically for first-generation B-body and C-body Chrysler platforms from the mid-1960s through early 1970s, this battery delivers the cold-cranking authority necessary to turn over larger-displacement engines—from 383 cubic inches through 440 big-block power plants—in unforgiving winter conditions. Whether you're resurrecting a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T or returning a Chrysler Newport to the road, this battery bridges the gap between original equipment dimensions and contemporary starting performance.

At 560 cold-cranking amps (CCA) and 640 cranking amps (CA), this TURBO START unit generates sufficient electrical load to overcome heavy engine compression ratios and sluggish factory ignition systems without supplemental alternator upgrades. The compact 6.63 x 9 x 10.13-inch footprint fits snugly in original battery trays without modification, preserving underhood aesthetics while the 31-pound weight distribution maintains proper vehicle weight balance across the front axle. Lead-acid chemistry provides stable voltage output across the temperature spectrum, critical for vehicles equipped with points-and-condenser ignition or mechanical fuel pumps that demand consistent electrical supply throughout the warm-up cycle.

Restorers, muscle car collectors, and weekend warriors who demand period-correct installation without sacrifice will find this battery indispensable for 1965 through 1974 Chrysler Corporation vehicles, including Dodge, Plymouth, and Imperial models built on shared platforms. The 640 CA rating ensures reliable starts for high-compression 440 Magnum engines and comparable big-block variants, making it equally suitable for street-driven restorations and show-quality builds where originality matters. Installation requires only standard battery terminals and hold-down hardware found in any mid-1970s engine bay—no bracket fabrication or electrical modifications needed.
