The movie Fireball 500 just ended. Made in 1966 with Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, and Fabian. Frankie drives around in a George Barris customized Charger. The final part of the movie is the Daytona 500 race. Frankie Avalon is driving a Petty blue Plymouth numbered 43. Fabian is also driving a Plymouth. When these cars pull into the pits, One car says on the hood 404 CI. The other reads 405 CI. I am wondering if Plymouth actually ran those size engines in NASCAR or if this was just something done for the movie.
