Wonder who the New Orleans Super Stock challenger was to be?

Re: 64 No More..
 

Here's a shot of the DeFrank & Cohen '64 Dodge a few of you were talking about earlier...does anyone know whose car it was before they owned it.

'64 426 Plymouth 4 door...does anyone know any history on this one.

Re: 64 No More..
 

Nope, sure don't...all I know is if it's an original Max Wedge car, it's one very rare Plymouth.

M68

Re: 64 No More..
 

According to the Darrell Davis book, there were 0 factory built 4 door '64 Max-Wedge Plymouths. There were a few built in '63.

Re: 64 No More..
 

Don't know if this one has been posted up or not.
Always loved the look of chrome reverse wheels.

Re: 64 No More..
 

Dave, yes I've heard of several '63 426 Max Wedge 4 door cars being found, but I don't think I've ever heard of any '64 426 Max Wedge 4 doors sneak out of the factory, but I guess never say never when it comes to stuff Chrysler built...

Re: 64 No More..
 

Is this car still in competition...what motor is in it.

Here's one of a restored '64 Race Hemi Dodge 330 called the 'Hemi Honker' driven by Bud Faubel originally...

Here's one of the Tritak & Morgan '64 Plymouth hardtop running in SS/EA...

Re: 64 No More..
 

Kind of strange that a Hemi Belvedere H/T would run SS/EA. That car falls into SS/BA now, the MW would be SS/DA or EA.

Re: 64 No More..
 

That is my old car. There is a Max-Wedge in it. I sold it in 1992 to Jerry Bennett from Kentucky. Jerry sold it a year or two later to Randy Painter from Utah. Randy ran the car for several years but when he lost his Dodge dealership he stopped running it. I hope he gets it back out soon. Wes Leopold Jr.

Re: 64 No More..
 

The '64 and '65 trucks were available with the 426/365 street wedge and a few '65's were built with the Hemi to run in FX class (1 or 2).

Re: 64 No More..
 

Mark: A lot of us used to put 66-70 K member in our 64s which set
engine back 2 inches. I used to loan Hooker my cars to build headers
and they always fit MY car pretty well if not anyone else!

Re: 64 No More..
 

All the D1 wedge cars used the late model K-frame until someone got wind of it and we had to remove them.

Re: 64 No More..
 

In D7 back then they were happy as long as no Rack/Pinion and
Tubular Front End!!!

Re: 64 No More..
 

Mark, we did set the engines back on those cars. Every one did the later k frame first until they caught on and then we did something else to set it back. Those were back in the days of Stein,Wilson,Dvorak. "Old school guys" and the good old days !

Re: 64 No More..
 

Cotton Owens 1964 1- 4 bbl. NASCAR Hemi I guess; lots of chrome there. Looks like the car is in full street dress with a roll cage and foreward bars.

Re: 64 No More..
 

Cotton Owens passed away this morning. His wife passed away in April.

Re: 64 No More..
 

Mark,

Some people redrilled the mounting holes on the motor mounts, you could get about 3/4's to an inch rear movement.

Re: 64 No More..
 

A Porta-Power accomplished the task.

Re: 64 No More..
 

[QUOTE=A56;330313]Wes,
That car made my job hard for a lot of sets of headers LOL. I now have a 65' Belvedere that coincidently Jerry Bennett and George Widuch bought me in exhange for the headers on his 62' he races now. So I dont have to deal with the engine set back anymore. I dont know how guys got away with the engine setback, on my 64' Dodge the crossram is really close to the firewall with the stock K member. Did guys push, move or cut the firewall to hide that distance ?

It was not just about putting it back. The engine had to be dropped as well the further down the further back with out messing with the fire wall. And if you had a flat hood car it got the carbs further away from the hood. Net time at the track when there is max wedges around take a good look!!!!!

Re: 64 No More..
 

Jimi, I loved the pic of your Dads car. It brought back memories of a better time. I'll be looking forward to seeing it at a race.

Re: 64 No More..
 

If all goes well I will be at the Dutch with it maybe englishtown as well

Re: 64 No More..
 

Louie had the the original Earthquake.

Re: 64 No More..
 

Did you see the pics on the other thread i posted of it with the earthquake lettering ?

Re: 64 No More..
 

Jimi,
Yes I did. It was one of my favorite cars at Dover.

Re: 64 No More..
 

WOW! Gotta love those neutral starts.

I've read about Mancini's trans explosion but never saw a photo. Thanks for sharing Charlie.

Re: 64 No More..
 

Can't remember if I posted this on or not.
Almost FX at this point but still........a 64.

Here's a memory for someone: The Drag Addicts !

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...ragAddicts.jpg

Re: 64 No More..
 

This is an odd combination!

It's the heavier Belverdere rather than the lighter Savoy, the hood scoop only came with the full aluminum front end and the 426/425hp. No antenna means no radio yet the car has rear bumper guards.

Strange.

JimR

Re: 64 No More..
 

Those bumper gaurds were well needed ballast and could really be worthwhile when filled with lead. The Ramchargers along with Sox and Martin utilized that trick on most of their stockers too.

Re: 64 No More..
 

Did they fill the front tires with helium to lighten up the front end? I also heard a story about a spare tire filled with water. Any stories of rear bumpers and brackets made of osmium or depleted uranium? Inquiring minds want to know! LMAO!

Re: 64 No More..
 

Not "from" 64 but a 64 memory no less:

Anyone know this Louisiana S/S?

Re: 64 No More..
 

Hey Jimi, I was just wondering is this the same car as the 'Earth Quake' car you posted pics earlier in another thread...what did this car start out as originally.

Moose,
That is the original Earthquake.
