Re: 1965 Satellite engine options

Mopar Fans:

It was my understanding that you could get a Dodge with the Street  
Hemi (2x4) at he end of the 1965 production. There was a caveat and  
that was there was no , None, factory warranty on the car. I was given  
the impression that the number produced were from 11 to may be 25 on  
the high side. The one I saw was white with a black vinyl top. The  
same could probably be said for the Plymouths. Prices were never  
indicated but I bet 10 to 1 they were on the very high side. I believe  
the factory would do this at the end for a few cars with a brand new  
option or engine to make sure there were no major glitches on the line  
during regular when the 1966 Hemi orders began running down the line.  
Can't speak to the single four barrel.

I have an old magazine showing that 65 White Dodge. If I ever locate  
it I will forward it.

I might have been one of the few to see an original untitled 1964  
Dodge Max Wedge III, 4 speed with all the SS Options, Aluminum Front  
end, etc. It was late 1964, December, and I was in Esserman Dodge in  
Chicago Heights, IL looking to pass sometime and a salesman said he  
had a nice car they were working a deal on and proceeded to take me to  
the most remote part of their building. In the very back corner was  
the bright red supper stock Dodge. I mean I almost looked for the  
Little Old Lady from Pasadena. The guy said said someone ordered it in  
the early part of 1964. But when time came to buy it the guy balked  
and walked. Then he said $2,600 was the price but said he would talk  
on it. I did not have the money. Sadly I was just coming off a  
speeding ticket of 75 in a 35 zone. I was in the process of starting  
work at Youngstown Sheet and Tube to pay the huge fine I figured was  
coming, the fine ended up being 35 + 5 Court Cost. When I pulled out  
my first months pay, about $400-$500. the Judge say it and said wait a  
minute and asked the clerk for the ticket back. Then he thought better  
of trying to raise the fine and said let it ride.

Who knew how close I was thinking about that Dodge, About 2 years  
latter that dealer was closed due to the State of IL. Department of  
Revenues Sales tax div. from what I understand.

Thanks for all the input on the remote starter question.

Subject: 1965 Satellite engine options

This months Hemming Muscle Machines has a cover story comparing a 1965
Satellite to a 1965 GTO.  The article says that beyond the 383 in
power, the only other engine choice was the Max Wedge.  In 1965, I
didn't think the Max Wedge was available.  I'd have thought you'd have
a choice of both a 426 Street Wedge or a 426 Hemi.  Am I wrong or is
the article?
