It's a cover for the trunk lock and if you don't have one, a new one will be COSTLY and used will be somewhat difficult to find.

I have a 1964 Dodge 440 I am parting out. I am heading to the farm where the car is this weekend and will see what is available. PM me with all your needs from this car, except for the letters for "Dodge" as those are already spoken for. The car is in Deep South Georgia.

Blessings,

Not sure if that's what he means... I think he's asking what is to the right of the license plate on the tail light panel.

There are plenty of people on this forum with 64 440's who hopefully can post a pic, I'm not 100% sure so I'll leave it to those who know.

Sounds like it was a dealer emblem... Got Pics of Yours? The Black Car has a dodge emblem where you are talking about three holes...

Guess I gotta pay attention.

I do believe that the black car is a factory Max Wedge 426 car. Is that what you have Polara426 ???

Those all look like 330's except for the first one. 440's had more trim, and had some trims around the license plate area:

It must be a dealer emblem. Never seen one like on the black car, it looks just like the quarter panel emblem, interesting.

A few good 440 pics:

Couldn't imagine being a salesman back then. Way too many options. But it sure makes it fun today trying to figure these things out...

Yeah, no kidding! Did you know the reverse lights were an option on the 330s but standard equipment on the 440s and Polaras?

Check out the pic of the black 330 and you'll notice there aren't any reverse lights!

Well my car had a receptacle for trailer hook up in that location. :grin: I'm sure it didn't come from the factory like that.:no:

What,s up with the people from Wa. state anyhow? :edgy:

Guys thanks for the replies my car is a four speed streetwedge no backup lights I once saw a california car with a (hurst equiped embelem) in that area car is in the body shop i will see if I can post a picture what ever was there was gone when I got the car. at Norwalk last year I saw a 440 with three lights like a polara. I gues I will weld the holes up maybe somebody put a hemi embelem there

Have you run your "numbers" yet? You could have something special in this car. I wouldn't weld the holes just yet...
