There was a 64 dodge max wedge hardtop with aluminum front end that was sold new in this area.Guy drove it on the street and raced it some.It supposedly still exists and was in Florida in the early 90's.I thought if I could find the vin in Davis's book I could track it down. Original owners name was Mike Smith and the car had "The Confederate" painted on the trunk lid.Car was green.

On a side note in '65 they took delivery of a '65 A990 dodge that is still around.I saw it for sale on e-bay a couple years ago.It was later raced by Tom Crutchfield but was actually street driven and raced by the original owner.

Shipped to dealer # 52436 (I do not know the dealer ??), but it is the same region as Hiatt's - 41 (Cincinnati).

Thanks for all the responses guys. Last edited by Seth_Jones; 07/27/12 03:59 PM.
