The regional representative would do a pre-screening to make sure a
qualified person was going to purchase one of these cars.

I think Gramatan Dodge, Mt. Vernon, New York got shut out trying
to purchase a new 64' Race Hemi.

I'm not sure about the dealer/person you mentioned above that got shut down trying to buy one, but I do recall a story printed in a magazine about 25 years ago were they said a gentleman walked into Chrysler dealership and ordered one. I can't remember all of the details but he ended up getting a steel nose 64 426 Hemi Dodge Hardtop. I think Marvin Hughes ended up with this car, and has changed hands several times by now. Does anyone here remember or know who the original owner was.
