Wheelstanding 1964 Dodge Hemi Super Stock

[amxulraman]

My Grandmother had a white 63 maxwedge w/ a push button automatic. She bought it.in Dec.63.(she traded an Edsel & $1857.63 for it.She drove it til 74 when she sold it to a guy at the dealer who bought her a new Valiant with a/c,ps,disc brakes w/a 318. They swapped even up. She thought she got a deal. I cried for a week !

I bet the car didn;'t have 60k on the odometer !

Nice run and beautiful 64 Dodge! Thanks for sharing your videos. Check out some of my videos of a wheelstanding 64 Dodge that runs 9.00@150!

At the time, it was great to have the SOHC Ford motors, the rat big block checy's, and the killer 440 wedge motors and 426 Hemi's.....they....the companies, were fighting each other...and because of that, the products offered were better and better! There is no rule that says you have to lvoe one over the otehr....it is a day gone by, and that's a shame....we did a LOT for the V-8 engine design in development through drag racing. Those Chrysler hemi's do sound DAMN good wound up!

This car brings back some great memories. My Uncle ran super stock in Wichita back in the early sixties, and had a red 64, much like this one. The car was sold when he passed, and I didn't find out about it until after the fact. Used to scare the heck out of me when he would let me ride with him. Great post! Thanks.

@NcalBiker Thanks for sharing the story! Sorry you didn't end up with the car though. Glad you enjoyed the video. Check out some of the other videos we have posted.

double sweet car

[welder541]

Noth'in like the sound of a HEMI with all 8 barrels W.O. and scream'in like a banchee ,that first 60 feet ,wheels up outta the chute. I LOVE IT!!!!!! And i thought g.m. & ford both cried foul when chrysler's r&d dept went WELL beyond their's by leap's & bounds & created quite a riff in NASCAR with this engine. Enuff said chrysler when they banned it. I'm glad their back in NASCAR today competing like they should be:):):):):)

[snakeoil24]

WIldis what they call the Chrysler hemi. Sure I remember a few of those cammer motors from Ford. But it was Ford who cried like babies to Nascar to ban the Hemi from racing. Sure Ford made an attempt to copy the Chrysler motor. But they dropped it. I own to of these Mopar Monsters and had the first one in 1970 . Nothing but nothing compares.

[anthonymartin1988]

this car takes my breath away

[sparkie231]

I have forgotten about the sound of a hemi. Nothing like it.

[LS6Z28]

that made me hard

[USMCfosho]

I loved every second of that video......

[sparkie231]

You cant beat a hemi

[Eddiemotor]

Only engine capable of that is 427 SOHC, if we compare stock vs stock.

And people don't thumb me down, you have to realize that there are in fact some engines capable of matching the Hemis, in fact. I love MoPar, i love the Hemi, but stock vs stock, the 427 SOHC unfortunatly overshadows the Hemi technicly.

Don't believing me? Ok, but fact is fact, even if we don't like it, look it up for yourself if ya dont believe me.

And i want Both engines.

[OneBadSuperbird]

Hmmmmmm...where are all these SOHC 427 Fords you speak of? At any given Mopar racing event, there's at least a two or three dozen Max Wedge and Hemi Super Stockers hammering the quarter mile. And why is it that the NHRA's top Super Stock class (SS/AH) was created strictly for the Hemis? The SOHC 427's are cool and all but nothing, and I do mean nothing, can compare to a Hemi.

[Eddiemotor]

That's your opinion, they do CAN compete with them, but they are so few, Chrysler made over 10000 426 Hemis(not in exact number), the 427 SOHC, maybe a bit over 1000 numbers, many were scrapped in dragracing for example by racers like Gas Ronda e.t.c, but those who still races with them gives a heck of a performance.

Remember, the 427 SOHC was created to beat the Hemi, and if it weren't for the fact that it was banned from NASCAR and dropped, alot of things could have been much changed.

[Eddiemotor]

Also, the reason there are so few using the 427 SOHC is because there are so few of them left, parts are expensive, thus limiting the use of the engines, you would have to use restoration/aftermarket stuff and that aint cheap either.

Saying nothing can compete with the Hemi is just bending the facts.

Still, great video though.

[69HemiGTX]

Eddiemotor, I don't want to open the debate again, but even OBS didn't mention that Chrysler knew about the SOHC 427 long before it was made public thanks to a mole. Their answer was the 32 valve A-925 DOHC Hemi, the Doomsday Machine as it became known. When the Ford was scrapped, Mopar dropped the project. You can build a brand new SOHC 427 if you want now, but it will cost you. I, too, love the SOHC 427, but the Hemi has the mystique, is more legendary, and is still king 40+ years later.

[magnaflowedramx4]

@69HemiGTX ..........and no engine compares to the way a HEMI breathes. The valve design is superior. The bored out 440 I had in my Chryler,ran pretty well with a long cross-ram induction,but I always wondered what it would have driven like with the infamous HEMI

[robkal56]

@magnaflowedramx4 I think you mean 'famous.' 'Infamous' refers to something famous for being terrible, such as 'Pearl Harbor, a day which shall live in infamy.' But I totaly agree with what you're saying. And I guess it would be infamous to get spanked by one of those, especially if you were in your 427 SOHC. (Sorry guys, I couldn'r resist)

[1965Davey]

@OneBadSuperbird Eddiemotor is right on some points there. The only engine that rivaled the Hemi, was the 427. The Hemi was harder to keep tuned and all......but still...Nothing beats the sound of a Hemi. It was good enough for Don Garlets......Enough said.

[DavidW2340]

@Eddiemotor Iam a diehard chrysler fan. and i can tell you the 427 sohc motor did make more power than the hemis. IThe 427 sohc was a terrible engine as far as durability was concerned lol. Talk about some pieces flying!!

[monoskins]

@Eddiemotor of course you must know of the sohc hemi that was in the works. i believe a few prototypes were made. but they were never produced for the same reason that there are very few sohc 427s. the rules were changed to exclude the ohc style motors in either drag or nascar. i wish the sohc hemi would have made it a little further along. with the hemi head design and the extra RPMs the sohc allows, that would have been the sh!t.

[mustangsally333]

Amazing Car!!!!!!

[Morgandrag]

nice :)

[alan6102000]

My good Lord.........

[sayaroth]

Gotta love the car, the sound, the performance!

[ProverbialBootStraps]

Hammer it!

[69moparman]

This is what I'm talking about right here and right NOW! Man what a sound, I could watch this till the cows come home!
