How many 1964 Dodge 440’s with a 426 Street Wedge & 4-speeds we’re built?

What records MaMopar had for the early cars were burned up in the fire.

Those were for ‘68 and up and there was no fire. The individual plants decided to not retain those records at some point in time.

I thought that fire legend was recently debunked.

I like the fire story better!

It was probably fire, the company incinerator!

 

[YY1]

I thought it was true, too.
Could have sworn I heard it from what I'd consider 'trusted" sources.

I thought it was GM that had the fire. Perhaps the story got conflated?

And all who would have known are deceased.

I messaged the Peterson Automotive Museum to ask if they know.

In my research I have heard 7 were 4 speeds. My dad bought one new a Palmer dodge in Indianapolis Indiana. I would love to find it today, although he blew the 426 up.

I just think they didn't keep records of what size engine in each platform before 65. The records for 65 are available and would probably be the best option for comparisons. I would guess they probably made around 500 Dodge 440 with the 426 steetwedge engine. The one of 5 is what was in the Govier registry mine was one of those.

Does Galen’s documentaction list your car as being one of the five listed in his registry?

 

[Jeff Peterson]

Only one of those I knew of was a four door. I would think this guy's dad's car would be quite a gem today??, if it's still a decent vehicle.

It was totaled shortly after he traded it in on a new ‘65 satellite with a 426w but with an auto

 

[Polara426]

Yes as of 2011! not sure if any after that.
