My brother ownes Hurleys- Mountain Hemi plymouth. It is for sale if interested.


Jake, I didn't realize your brother owned this car. 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.


It would be nice if we could get more history on this car. It is realy in good condition and my brother realy spent some time detailing it out for being a race car.

ok that sounds right... i know they had another one in the late 80's early 90's that they sold for real cheap to a guy in Iowa or something...

casey

Do you remember the 65 Plymouth Larry Hice raced? He lived in Chilicothie (sic??). Craig said he only remembers Hice in a Camaro but he was killer at Riverside in the Plymouth in the early 70's. Speaking of the Iowa car, there was a photo on an old thread of a car on an open trailer with snow and dirt all over it. It had the Classic Blue 'Dodge Material" paint less lettering. No doubt it was one of their cars they had sold.

Steve does own the Weakley car. I used to drive it. The last guy to run it was John McCormic (spelling?).Steve was going to try and campain it as a SS/BA. Its led a hard life. Steve also had Jerry Caros old Dodge which was completely restored back to original and sold to someone in Washington I believe.

Hey ChrisF from BC

Any chance that "Hemi Express" is the same "Hemi Express" that Jim Clark had in the late 60s early 70s out of Baldwin Park, CA. He had a shop called Engine Dynamics and a bunch of Max Wedges running out of his ship. I met his son Brian Clark a couple weekends ago at Fontana. Jim later went on to a 68 Dart and finally a Demon in Pro Stock.

I totally dug that dark blue 65 with a locomotive on the door and "Hemi Express" logo.

Anyone out there have info on 65 dodge A990 that was dark red. It was torqueflite car. Friend of mine bought it new at Boch Dodge,Norwwod Mass. in 65. Was named the "SHAKER". He sold it to someone in Maryland in 1966. Thinks it was turned into A/FX Altered Wheelbase. Anyone remember this car???? The best story of this car was he drove this car from Boch Dodge to Vermont 200 miles with open headers and 4.56 gears.

Several years ago while in New Orleans a guy named Glenn Bodie had a 65 Doge bare body. Not sure if it was a stick or auto, but it was the real deal.

How about this car? (sorry, only pic i have of it) '65 Aluminum front end Hemi car. is this considered a A990 car?
It was raced in Maryland in the 70's by Gene Barnhart and Tom Clise. I'm pretty sure Clise had it first, and sold it to Barnhart. Where's it now?

My next door neighbor bought a solid red 64 aluminum hemi Plymouth from Veron Rowley out of Maryland in the late 70's. The car went through Englehart and was in Kentucky as of 2008. I believe the car in the above photo is a 64 rather than a 65. If it had aluminum I am sure it would be a 64. The 64's were not A990 cars.

One of the nicest guys I've ever met, "Happy Harry" Holton has one that's currently for sale. Not sure of the history of that car, except Harry got it from Robin Pellesier (sp) in the late 90's (??) Another, that be bought brandy new in 65 is now onwed and has been restored by Mark Viera in Turlock, CA I believe.

Hopefully Julie or Jared will correct mf if I'm wrong...

Could you be talking about the Seaton Shaker that ran at 75-80?

Anyone have any pictures of Seaton Shaker? I noticed you have 66 ford 427. My friend sold the hemi and got a real 66 427 fairlane as he managed a ford dealership. That was called Little Shaker. White with blue lettering. Thanks for reply.

How about the late Dale Mineer's "Miss Coronet?" I remember seeing that car around 1997-8 at the MMCI show at Quaker City and couldn't believe how hideous the paint job was, lol. The more and more I think about that car though nowadays, I like it.
