Question regarding Cord Samco

Hi i was just Wondering if you Know what type of car the front brakes came off of?

Hi all,

I have a 1968 Samco Cord Warrior with a Ford 302 engine.
Currently I want to rebuild the car and get it registered and back on the road in germany.

To do so the german dmv requires some kind of technical datasheet.

But except for the title I have nothing about the car.

So if anyone here in the forum can give me any official information/documentation that would be really helpfull.

Maybe someone from germany or austria is in this forum?

I notice you said you have complete specs.And maybe owner's manual ? I would really appreciate it.I could get a copy. I wonder if there is a service manual Or something listing all the parts front end rear end. I have A.Ford 302  C4..

BTW - mine is a Ford 302/C4 with the 1964-67 Econoline front axle.
So far we have redone the fuel system including tank and carb, radiator, brakes, some wiring and all the usual stuff when they are not driven for 20 years....

Thanks for your offer. We tried a 68-70 Torino part but it was too wide. Also the mounting bolts were too wide. The one on the car had a disc/drum (2 different size chambers) unit with passenger side ports. We checked at brake parts warehouse but could not find a match. While doing internet searches I found this site and signed up. There was a member with post from 2007 that said they had original diagrams and was hoping he was still online. I am not a ACD member but just started to get this SAMCO Royale back on the road after 20 years. Just bought it from the son of a gentleman that passed away.

I have a friend that also owns a Samco Royale with the 440. He is currently restoring it. He said that he thinks it is most likely a Ford part from 68 to 70 but that they also used Chrysler parts of the period. He is very knowledgeable on these cars….I am not…..as I own and specialize in Auburn Boattail Speedster replicas. If you would like to talk with him, please feel free to contact me. I’m not too sure how we do that through this website. I am an ACD member. Regards JEROME

 I also just picked up a Warrior Royale and need to replace the master cylinder.
Spent and hour at the brake specialty shop with no luck.
Anyone know the master cylinder brand and year.?
Thanks
Tom

Couldn't find 299 kit at PST. Do you have a master cylinder make I can lok for elsewhere?

Where can i get a replacement master cylinder? Do you have a part maker or number

ACDMAN, are you still a member here? I could use your help if you are.

Could you please help me decipher a SAMCO serial number? After a few hours on the interweb I think I've figured out that it was a Royale with a 440. It's s/n 59R-1043-C. This is the number on the bill of sale from when he purchased it and may be missing a zero at the beginning of the number?My Father bought this car December 22 1969 in Vancouver B.C. Canada. There is some evidence that this was the only one in Canada at that time. He came across this car a few years after he had sold it and it was in rather poor condition. Ideally I'd like to find this car and restore it. Any help at all with info on this (or the SAMCO cars in general) would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Bart

PST has a brake kit for 299 that has everything you need to redo the brakes they also have disc conversions.

Thank you very much!!

The Samco's were deliviered with two different engines:

Royale: Chrysler 440 Magnum
Warrior: Ford 302.

The Royale also had longer wheelbase

I have a Samco Serial no 54. I have been told the frame and running gear is International Harvester. Anyone have any experience with a disc brake conversion for the front.

EVERYBODY SAYS SAMCO USED 440 ENGINE MY INFO IS THAT IT WAS 400 CUBIC INCH ENGINE, JUST BOUGHT ONE, HAVEN'T CHECKED IT OUT YET, WHICH IS CORREECT?

Hello: I to am an owner of a 1970 Samco Cord. The front end of the car is a 1 ton Ford van straight axle. You should be able to get brakes from that. Duane

Hello!!!

I am the owner of a Cord Royale 1970 model. This is the one with the 440 Chrysler engine. I need to do some repairs on the brakes, and wondered if anyone here knows where I can get parts.

Thank you!!!

kind regards
Tom
