Description:1964 Plymouth Belvedere 2 Door Hardtop In order to win on Sunday, you need something to sell on Monday. Chrysler somewhat bent those rules in 1964, kinda, sorta using the block from the 426 Max Wedge engine as a basis for the 426 Hemi block. In truth, the Hemi block was unique, requiring a fair bit of redesign and reinforcement to stand up to the rigors of a 500 mile superspeedway race or repeated blasts down the quarter mile. Less than a year later, three 426 Hemi powered Plymouth B-bodies would take the top three spots at the 1964 running of the Daytona 500. Hemmings.com For consignment, a 1964 Plymouth Belvedere 2 door hardtop with a title verified 73,700 actual miles. Originally one of street wedge cars, it now sports a period correct 426 Max Wedge Stage III motor. Someone get Steve Magnante on the line...this legendary car is right up his alley! Exterior This literal race car for the street does not present itself in subtle terms; two stage Ruby red paint lights this car up so you can see it coming, and watch as it blows by you. The 15-inch wheels are bright red too with simple dog dish hubcaps and staggered width tires that along with the rake, create a muscular stance. The back is a 60\'s treat for the senses with a ribbed latch panel flanked by boxy tail lights and the world Plymouth stretched as wide as possible on the decklid, all underscored by a wrap-around chrome bumper. In profile, the A-pillar and C-pillar mirror their angle and the curved rear window creates a triangular panel while the cabin reveal makes it look as if the roof could be lifted away, (it can\'t). Up front, the basic grille and quad headlights are upstaged by an impressive hood scoop that defines the very nature of the car. The body, paint and trim are near excellent. Imperfections include some edge chips, general small inclusions, scratch texture to the paint, cracked filler in lower back, and a few bubbles. Interior Simple black vinyl door panels with horizontal stitch patterns adorn each side and present in nice condition, leading to black split bench which includes grain vinyl inserts framed in smooth vinyl and other than a small tear, all seats front and back are in great shape. The steering wheel shares the column with a tachometer and fronts the simple design of the instrument cluster with round gauges in a gray faceplate, push button vent panel, and an AM radio. A triple gauge pod is suspended from the dash just ahead of the floor mounted Hurst shifter over clean black carpet and Belvedere branded mats. Our black headliner is high and tight and the trunk is a show worthy space with a spotless floor protected by a perfect plaid mat. Drivetrain The star of the show is under the hood and it\'s a period correct 426ci Stage III Max Wedge V8 with dual Cater 625cfm 4-barrel carburetors. It\'s mated to an A833 four speed manual transmission sending power to the 8 ¾ inch rear with 3.55 gears and SureGrip. The orange paint, graphics on the valve covers, the offset carbs and air cleaners, and a spotless presentation make this a virtual work of art, not to mention a potent powerplant. Undercarriage It\'s pretty much perfect underneath and completely clean. The custom 3 TTI dual exhaust hit an H-pipe, then optional electric cutouts, then fork to find Dynomax mufflers which dump immediately at the glossy black rear axle. Drum brakes are at all four wheels and suspension includes torsion bars up front and leaf springs in back. Drive-Ability Will it run as good as it looks? Absolutely. Plus it sounds great as we make our way around the loop, testing the functionality of this marvelous Mopar with its obvious power underfoot. The icing on the cake is that everything works as it should and this one is raring to go. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
