I’m an old guy. I owned a REAL 64 Dodge Hemi 4 speed car. The Hemi went into these cars in June. If you happened to have ordered a 426 max wedge close to that date, it arrived with a Hemi. No notice. This is what happened with the car I had. I was not the original owner. I restored the car back to factory condition - 100% - in the mid 80’s. Red over red. Did you know a ‘64 Hemi block is different from all others? Find one. I gave $10,000 for a block, air cleaner, correct bellhousing, and a set and a half of headers in mid 80’s $. I also had the privilege of owning 8 various max wedge cars. I sold them all in ‘90. Thinking they would never be worth more. Dork! But I had a lot of fun being a top level MoPar guy!
did the mount area of your early block diff from later ones? Only blocks I have had a chance to look closely at are a friends 67' stick Belvedere and some years back a friends LO23 Dart.
@@Mr39036ce It has been decades since I worked with these cars. But the CLEAR difference is in the distributor boss. The 1964 block - "available" in June - had a ROUND distributor boss. Anything after was SQUARE. So one did not need to check casting numbers to see if the correct block was used in a restoration. If you have a square boss block in a '64 Hemi it simply is not "correct". If I have my boss shapes mixed up, or if some variances of shapes occurred in transition, Do not hold me accountable. The first would be due to my age and time past, the other would be due to simple weird shit that all makers did back then. Amazing cars! Brute power.
This car is cool! It's a hot street car to drive and be seen in. The factory cars, well you can't drive those. Too rare, too expensive, those are investments. This car is to have fun with. Enjoy with friends. And put down black stripes in front of the house! I should put one together myself...hehe.
Beautiful could not find a better looking car now that’s a muscle car all the Belvedere s polara savoys they were all beautiful my al time favourite car especially the factory race cars
Car looks incredible....does not sound good at all. Also, what's up with all the black smoke ? I was expecting a crisp, loud, lopey idle and screaming revs. This sounded like an average V8 through a restrictive factory exhaust system.

Absolutely gorgeous
That Savoy is gorgeous AF...My favorite color Black & it's got that bad ass elephant motor!!!
beautiful mopar . i would've went with stock painted steelies instead of the cragars though.
Really cool 64, handsome ride.
Beautiful car though. Nice body work and paint.
I like the way it starts right up .
Nice car and video, A thumbs up for you also.
Beautiful car, Love everything about it
Forged crank aluminum heads in ‘64. Imagine that on the show room floor. Imagine the MSRP.

Sweet '64.
Sweet ...!
Nice
Nice.
But:
Not factory, or, dealer installed options
Is that street legal with no side and rear view mirrors?
Tribute!
That is a 426 Max Wedge not a 426 Hemi.
MOPAR POWER
Nicer than a rambler rogue......for sure.......gimme a Corvette.....any day.

The exhaust sounds like a 6 cylinder
You obviously don't know what you're listening is
Paint looks nice but it's nowhere near correct as a tribute/clone. Basically, it's just a hot rod.
I guess if you have to ask, you cant afford it.
