in 1965 mopar built the A990 hemi cars for drag racing, you had to be somebody and know someone with rank at Chrysler to be allowed to buy one Anyone know for sure how many actual A990 cars where built?

No purpose built A-bodies until 66 (D-dart).A-990 cars? About 195-205. I have never seen a complete 65 Dodge list but I think there may have been a few less Dodges than Plymouths (106)

Not really a "factory" car, but Matt sure does have the 283 Nova people in a foul temperment...
