Please believe me when I tell you that you did not have to have a "special relationship" with a dealer to order, and buy one of those cars in 1964,

When I show my 64 Hemi clone S/S car it is amazing the number of people that come up and tell me "there buddy had one just like it" and he used to drive it around on the street, I just don't think that ever happened, I do believe that you could go buy one if you had a dealer friend, I am aware of a 65 race car that was shipped to Dallas to a group of guys that were local racers, they picked the car up at the rail dock and drove it to the shop, last time it saw the street. I think you probably could get a 64 if you had a similar relationship with a dealer, but these cars were never intended to be street driven.

It was replaced by the 426 Hemi race motor that year. It was available, just like the maxis. -----Original Message-----From: mikelj@xxxxxxx [mailto:mikelj@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, February 09, 2009 12:39 PMTo: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: 426 Hemi question I have always wondered, what year was th first one that you could check a box on a new car order form at the dealer and get the new 426 Hemi in a Dodge? Was it 1965 or 1966? Mike in New Mexico--[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ---- Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
