Shouldn't that thing have a hood scoop? Is it not an aluminum nose? 9.77 and it could be even faster !

No....its a 425 HP (Hi comp 12.5 to 1) flat hood steel car. The Fury breaks at 8.04 with the Hi Comp combo......can run AA, A, and B. Anyone know why the Fury is not listed in the class guide with alum front end components with the 425 HP combo???. It just shows the Savoy and Belvedere unless Im reading it wrong???

The Fury didn't come with aluminum. Only the savoy and belvedere.

I'm looking at a 1964 NHRA Class Guide, and it shows only the Savoy 2 dr post and Belvedere 2dr HDT as aluminum classified, (5.90 & 5.91).

My memory agrees with Fred. I ordered a 64 belvedere in late '63.

I agree. Been around these cars all my life and have owned one for the last 32 years. Some of the confusion may come from the fact that not only could you buy the aluminum from the factory but for the 1963 car's Chry. sent some owners a complete front end in order to make the 1963 cars NHRA legal. If I remember correctly only the High Compression 1964 cars got the alum. while the loe compression cars did not. JimR

And you couldn't get the high compression with a steel front end. It came one way only, aluminum.
