John writes from Florida: My 1964 Plymouth Savoy is an original "little ole lady" 40,000 mile south Texas beauty, absolutely rust free and accident free. |
Other features include a Moon tachometer; Cragar SS wheels*, and Pro-Trac period-correct bias ply tires; authentic Super Stock single headlight grill; 18 spline Hemi A833 four-speed; new Brewer Hurst shifter; Lakewood steel bellhousing; aluminum flywheel; Centerforce clutch; TTI headers and 3 inch TTI exhaust all the way back to the rear bumper; Dana 60 rear with 3.54 SureGrip and correct pinion snubber; welded subframe connectors and Super Stock rear springs. *(I also have American Racing Torq Thrust wheels for the Savoy and interchange them when I feel like it.)
The engine is a 489 cubic inch Hemi with May, 1964 date-coded Chrysler aluminum crossram with proper Holley carburetors; "M" block Callies stroker crank; Ross forged pistons; Scat rods; MSD pro billet distributor (dressed as an original points type); Stage V aluminum heads with stainless steel roller rockers and billet aluminum rocker stands; Crane roller camshaft; Melling oil pump and Milodon oil pan.
The interior is all new and factory correct in the original light blue. |
The Plymouth has won many awards, including Best of Show at the 2014 annual Florida Mopar Show at Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing in Ocala Florida (left).
The Mopar also took Best of Show at the NMCA Nationals in Bradenton, Florida (right).

Thanks to my wife Patty (next to me here) who has put up with (and fully supports) my car obsession for 39 years! |
I have owned a lot of cars in my day, but this Plymouth Savoy Hemi is a scary-fast |
