Re: 64 Plymouth GT/EA in Ennis
I believe it was a Fury. I'm currently away from all of my documents and etc., but will be able to help tomorrow evening when I have that all at my access again. From what I can recall though, I think they were hinged.
There were assembly line built Hemi hardtops. What sheet metal they had, I cannot recall. |

Re: 64 Plymouth GT/EA in Ennis
Again, not sure but ..Several years ago I'm fairly certain this is the same car , it was at a Swap meet here in DFW .
The fab work looks like Joe Smiths handiwork to me , and I figured that is was Mr Jim Hale cause the engine compartment was red And I know Joe does most of the work for him or at least did .. I sure wish I knew the rules on what fits and what doesn't etc because I must of slept thru the class that said it was ok to run Alum heads, etc. etc and all the other things that seemed to me a novice ol bracket racer Out of place .. |

Re: 64 Plymouth GT/EA in Ennis
Bob Pagano, Wesley doesn`t go to National events, Jim Hale ran SS/BA at Bell Rose points meet Sept. 19, Listed 68 Barracuda but 68 doesn't fit in SS/BA, I think this car had a hemi in it when Jim got the car and he put his 383 or 440 out of his 68 Barracuda in the 64 car, he was running in GT/EA, Just guessing ?

Re: 64 Plymouth GT/EA in Ennis
So the upshot of all this is that these cars never came with fiberglass hoods from Chrysler???

Re: 64 Plymouth GT/EA in Ennis
For what it's worth:
It's the ex-Chuck Rayburn, ex-Jim Hale '64 Hemi car. Jim ran it for a few years in the early part of the decade and then Chuck acquired it and ran it for some time. Recently, Chuck and Jim swapped cars with Chuck receiving a '68 Cuda for SS/AH competition. I believe in GT/EA that it's a 383 combo which, if it's the 300 Hp combo, would only need to weigh 3170 for that class.

Re: 64 Plymouth GT/EA in Ennis
Dave
The rulebook does not allow the addition of scoops on a GT car. The GT section 9B says "The requirements and specifications for GT classes are the same as those for Super Stock classes - Section 9A - with the following exceptions:" and there are no exceptions for hoodscoops in the GT section 9B. There is, however, a phrase in SS Section 9A "Hood openings and/or hood scoops other than original equipment prohibited.". It would appear that those two statements eliminate the ability to add fresh air to a non fresh air car. Nothing I see keeps someone from running the fresh air engine in a non fresh air car , just no fresh air. |
