1965,

Plenty of options for the 65' A-990 cars to run in,,,

#3408 lbs. = S/S or S/SA (Factory Super/Stock)

#3408 lbs. = A/MP

#3200 lbs. = A/FX,,,,Maximum cubic inch 427 (w/Carburetors)

#3000 lbs. = Maximum cubic inch 427 (w/Carburetors or Injectors)

#2700 lbs. = S/US, (Super/Ultra Stock) ...Factory AWB (w/Injectors)

Unlimited = Any weight and wheelbase, (Blown, Fuel or Injectors)

With the demands from the drag strips for fast cars that could lift the
wheels off the ground, Match-Bash racing was the way to go.

Many of the A-990's were lost to AWB modifications.

1965 Super Stock Eliminator Pay-outs, at local drag strips back then, maybe $150 for a S/S Eliminator win. No money....

But A/FX or AWB Match Racing, you were pretty much guaranteed $300 for a Best 2 out of 3, plus travel expense money.
A 3 out 5 Match-Race, and $400 was the going number.

And if you were hooked up with the Gold Agency (booking agents), they could get you 2 or 3 Match-Races per week, and
at more money.
