Here are some pictures of a real 64 A-990 Hemi Dodge. Apparently it was (not complete) at the Hemi re-union. I remember this car when the owner got it about 10 years ago. It was totally a race car all it's life with a scary roll bar in it, hacked up tubs and hacked everywhere. But when I saw it in a corner of the owners place (Huge Ford guy), I knew what it was. My buddy is a ford guy but is interested in all old cars. I bet him that I could lift that door (bare metal leaning against a wall) with one finger. He said, "no way". I did. Alum doors, Alum fends, Alum door hinges. Check this car out.

Fredrick Motors is right up the street from me.Hine motors used to campaign cars all the time in the 69s and 70s.I still think they run 2 Hemi cars at Quaker.I could have bought a car just like that in the early 70s for 500 bucks.No motor but it was aluminum car.Turned it down because I didnt care for the body style.Wish I had bought it now.Rocky

Cool car, thanks for sharing LAR!
*As nice as that car looks it's screaming for the correct engine paint, coil, voltage regulator, plastic fuel filters, dip stick/tube/clip, and a few other minor details.
Depends on perspective ...i could care less about that stuff..to me its screaming "race me" instead of letting it sit in a showroom somewhere collecting dust.

And what exactly makes my opinion any Than yours?
The reason I noticed these items is because it appears to be a nicely restored car....All except the final percentage that could have set it appart from other amateur attempts. It would be easy to fix those items, even easier to fix some of them by doing it right the first time, and it wouldn't have cost much if anything to do so in the first place. BTW, regardless of what it screams to you, I doubt you'll EVER see that car go down a drag strip again.

This was at the Hemi Reunion, after Bob Fredrick owned it the story goes that Benny Bertock found it in a barn with no glass and no motor. He bought the car for $900.00. He raced it at Quaker City for years under the Buckeye Brawler name. He quit racing it in the mid 80's after deciding that it was too valuable to have anything happen to it, he then ended up selling it a few years after that. I grew up in the same town as Bertock's and they had a barn full of Hemi cars. Dad bought his 65 Coronet off of them. I never knew who bought it until we were at the Reunion.

That is the sad truth. It will be forever banished to a chalk mark controversy existence.

The car was raced as the Hustlin' Hemi by Bertok. I have a picture of when Snyder bought it somewhere at home. It was blue/silver with a red interior.
The Buckeye Brawler was a red/black '65 Plymouth hardtop.
Ben Bertok also bought Carlon Hine's original Chargin' Hemi. That car was destroyed in a freak accident at Quaker when Ben was staging the car, The guy behind him started doing a burnout and the car let go running into the Charger.

the 64 alum pkg was just that, a pkg, available on both max cars as well as the hemi's, the difference being the scoop, but thats a neat car...marvin hughes had a 64 hardtop dodge a few years back(20?), it was neat to look at...turquoise w. ly blut interior, supposedly orig paint
