My new ride...64 Super Stock Dodge.

[64 Post]

Glad to see that car in circulation again! I had a quick shot at purchasing it in the Eighties(I had met the original owner from St. Johns,MI) when I had the Faubel car,but was financially unable to. I also saw the car in Lynn's care;very nice,considering it was a race car.

Now,a question...Did these come with 12.5 CR or 10.25 CR Hemis? I know there were a handful of these oddballs made(less than 10 of Dodge and Plymouth that I was told eons ago) because of situations like Lynn's. Perhaps;did some come with possibly either CR? I think the single 4-bbl. "NASCAR" hardtops(think Ralph Ronzello's '64 Belvedere Hemi car) were 10.25 equipped. All right historians;edumicate this old Pole,please.

All were 12.5 CR despite the factory literature.

IIRC 35 of each were built per Darrel Davis. All built as 12.5 CR. The book is around here somewhere... More Plymouths are known to have survived than Dodges. Speculation is that most of the Dodges went to NASCAR.

From what I understand Ronzello's car is a clone assembled from parts collected over the years.

64Post;THANK YOU!!! I've got the Davis book;haven't looked at it in a while. Wasn't aware of the status of the Ronzello car;always thought that it was one that slipped through the racing cracks and survived. Cool car,nonetheless.

In my 64 Plymouth book it says they had the option of 12.5 or 10.5 comp but to be honest I have never seen or heard of anyone having a 10.5 comp 64 Hemi. Everyone I have read about or seen were 12.5 comp with the 64 Hemi.
I heard he raced that 64 Hemi Dodge at the Pure Stock drags last weekend. They said he just made some passes as they would not let him compete. And I heard it ran a 12.05 and 11.87 !! Ron
