Correct Charlie. Herb Jr just confirmed for me. He noted his dad ran 3 different color schemes don this A990 car, with this being the first.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

Looking at the picture in your initial post, is there any way to use "technology" to determine what the lettering said that was sanded off on the door?
When lettering was hand done, may times the lettering paint etched into the base paint and left a scar that was permanent. Just a thought.
Also, the image of the lettering suggests a "pattern" that may help identify the way the word was presented.
OK...It's cold in Detroit and I've been watching too many CSI shows.

Sorry....re-read first post and saw name "aggravation" was found.

Back to CSI.....

I posted this pic in the Nostalgia section, it's not black but it is named Aggravation.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

I've chased the history of that car as well Jerry, just to rule it out. Thanks for the post. That's an image of that car I haven't seen before.

For the record, this car is confirmed as destroyed.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

Just a tiny bit of info here. The person who owned it furthest back in my research noted he bought the car from an individual who lived off of Strawberry Rd, Pasadena, TX around 1986/87.

He also stated he found the car in the Houston area Auto Trader. I know most of us threw those things out, but if anyone has any old Auto Traders from around that time I would be interested in hearing from you.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

Giving the car search thread a bump. Still looking for any and all information on this car.

After it was purchased off of Strawberry Rd in Pasadena it went next to Magnolia. The gentleman in Magnolia bought it out of the local auto trader. I would imagine if anyone has a stack of the old auto traders from the Houston area circa 1986-1989 it would be in there.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

I would contact Harvey Emmons in PASADENA OR Mike Trumble they both race stock super stock back in the time.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

The black car at the top has a Hemi scoop so it's a good bet it's a Hemi car.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

It's squaring off against the Blairs Speed Shop Plymouth. This is the only image I've seen of this car. A sedan wedge car went to Lou Baney, not sure if this is the car or not.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

I have a friend that has a dark blue 64 hemi savoy, auto. We think the car came from tx. originally. I saw that you were compiling a list of cars, we would like to see if you have any history on this car.I have the vin also if that helps,you can pm me if we could talk futher

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

Cool car:)

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

Maybe your not aware of this but you can get the production history of your car from Chrysler Historical Services. You can also purchase one of Darrell Davis' books which has the vins,color, dealer codes, etc for the 64/65 Hemi cars and also all the max wedges.

Basically will tell you Region Number (35 for example is Carolina area) Dealer Number(38027 as an example), color (DD1=medium blue metallic), and vin (3141250554 for an example).


62-65 b body mopar guys are really fortunate to have the ability to look this up.

Good luck with your search.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

Always new eyes in the forum so I figured I would give the thread a bump.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

It's been a while and I have no updates. However, I've found another original owner of one of it's sister cars. So, the search goes on.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

Finally, a full color shot from the side showing the sponsors. Does anyone recognize this car from the San Antonio area?

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

Very long shot but here you go

Heinig&Heinig Roofing

San Antonio TX.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

Thank you. Believe it or not I gave this lead a chase a couple months ago. I will revisit it.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

Perhaps moving forward a bit. A friend has sent an image of a car out of Houston campaigned as the Flying Wedge. All physical signs point to this possibly being the car. We're working on it...

Anyone recall the 1964 Savoy known as the Flying Wedge?

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

I recall seeing that car on a facebook page a while back. Do you know Jeff Husk Wes?

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

At some point in "Aggravation's" career it migrated from Jack Rieger Chrysler Plymouth in San Antonio to where it was purchased from in Pasadena TX i 1985.

"The Flying Wedge" was campaigned by Larry Chabert in 1965. Below is the announcement noting this car as being "new" to the track. All options identified in the article are the same as how "Aggravation" was optioned new. Are these two cars one in the same?

A couple questions are posed. Did Larry Chabert purchase "The Flying Wedge" new from Jack Rieger Chrysler Plymouth? Larry Chabert has passed on and his son doesn't have much information on his dad's former car.

If Larry didn't buy "The Flying Wedge" new, who in San Antonio did?

Finally, our history searching has a person by the name of "Roland" owning the car in 1985. Roland lived off Strawberry Rd in Pasadena. Anyone familiar with Roland?

Much thanks to George Panek who's been a invaluable resource through this process.

Looks like a '64 in the background of this photo.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

It is Terry. Any idea where this is at? Aggravation never left Texas based on my research.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

The Mustang has North Carolina on it so probably somewhere in the south.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

Was the 64 plymouth a "sold" car. Check the fender tag or build sheet.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

Possible name of Roland Hayes out of Pasadena, TX. Anyone recall Roland?

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
 

Yes....but the car is not from houston...
