I was at his place once and recall seeing Mopar stuff and pictures.

Also didn't Grumpy Jenkins also run a Hemi in 64?

340 Cuda is correct - Jenkins stood in as driver in a 65 A990 Plymouth and holeshotted Dick Housey’s similar car to win the 65 Winter Nats.

Jenkins had built and tuned the car for Doc Burgess.

He came with a top reputation after dominating 64 with Dave Strickler as driver in the Dodge Boys team.

As a followup. Was the Jenkins driven Doc Burgess 1965 Plymouth an original A990 , if so it SHOULD be tan interior correct?

The info I have on file shows it was an auto?

I just would assume with Grump driving it would have been 4 spd ?

Edit, Never mind
Found out elsewhere , It was in fact an auto car.
