The general thought in "some" mopar circles is that the tri y's never made it into actual production cars. Everyone has their own ideas though.

Actual 64 Belvedere max wedge production was 69 cars total of these over 50 appear to have had aluminum front ends.Total 64 Savoy Max Wedge 2dr production was 64 cars, with 48 cars receiving aluminum fronts. The above is from the Darrell Davis books.

As for 5 cars remaining, I think I could come up with a few more than that, some just aren't reported to Galen Govier etc....Very cool cars.

Here's a photo of the tri y's that sold on ebay when they were in Ft. Dodge,IA.
Nice conversation piece to have in the corner, but really cool that the current owner put them on a car.

FYI,
Alex
