The 1965 273/235 HP Darts, Cudas,Valients came with 8 1/4 rears. The 1966 "D" dart came with an 8 3/4 rear. NHRA would NOT allow the Golden Commandos to use the 8 3/4 rear in F/S in their 1965 Cuda in 1965. AHRA did allow it. The Golden Cammandos ran some M/Production in NHRA later in the year so they could use the larger/stronger rear.
