Does any one really know 100 dodges and 100 plymouths more automatics than 4 speeds were made. THEY WERE required to make 50 of each dodge and plymouth in order to run in NHRA. 4992935-65DodgeA990Coronetwhite.jpg (1465 downloads) Last edited by SUPERSTOCKRACER; 02/01/09 10:19 PM.

With NHRA 50 of the specific car (A990) had to be built to be legal for competition, which in some cases, led to some "creative" bookkeeping. But I know what you meant...

My question is...Chrysler boycotted the 1965 season in NASCAR and I believe '65 was the first year for the 500 unit requirement..so it didn't apply to Chrysler because of the boycott..right? Chrysler just built the drag versions.

I spent a lot of time with Doug, Sam & Harold Hurley and actualy lived in Grundy, VA. for 4 years. After Barnett, Dean Nicoloplis built their motors and was very close with them when Doug passed away. Dave Mosley did their suspension work. Larry Riffe and Tank Crosswhite got most of the stuff including cars, parts, trucks & trailers. Last edited by Frito; 02/02/09 05:02 PM.

Casey I spoke with Craig at the hemi reunion and he said one was a clone, but I think he did say they had another they were not racing that might have been an orginal. I looked at the two they had there and one was an orginal. At one time Bill Weakley raced one of their cars very succcessfuly as well as Clyde Sutton in the Sutton, Newman & Lambert orange and white car. probably the same car.
