Having been a former race car in the
Chrysler Classic Events / Mopar Collectors Guide Racing Series, this
1965 Plymouth Belvedere I Race Hemi Recreation sports a NEW Stanton
Racing prepared 472 cu. in. Hemi Engine with a Comp Cams Hydraulic
Camshaft for dependability and Mopar Performance Aluminum Heads. The
Hemi was dynoed at 560 HP and 540 ft. lbs. of torque. The Hemi
includes a NEW Mopar Performance Cross Ram Intake with two ( 2 ) NEW
Holley 770 cfm Race Hemi Carburetors. The exhaust is handled by a
NEW set of TTI, nickel plated 2 1/8" Headers routed through a 3" TTI
" H " Pipe Exhaust System that exits below the rear bumper. The
transmission is a Race Prepared " 727 " Torqueflite Automatic with a
5.0 Lever, Cheetah Reverse Manual Valve Body and a Turbo Action 3800
Stall 10" Converter. The power is transmitted to the pavement
through a Mopar Dana 60 Limited Slip Rear End with 456 to 1 Gears.
The Dennis Gambil installed Interior is all NEW with the Race Hemi (
sunvisor, dome light & coat hook - DELETE )Headliner, Back Seat
Delete Panel, Package Tray and Carpeting in the Race Hemi Medium Tan
Metallic Color. The entire Dash Panel was removed, stripped,
repainted and re-installed and the Dash Cluster was re-conditionedby
William's Instruments of Chester, AK. William's Instruments also
converted the dash Ammeter Gauge to a Voltmeter. The Chrome Dash
Bezel was re-chromed and reconditioned by Special T's of Chicago.
The Trunk area has been completely detailed with the addition of a
New Trunk Mat, Spare Wheel & Tire and Bumper Jack. A NEW Mopar Super
Stock Battery and Battery Mounting Kit have been installed in the
Trunk area as well to complete the Race Hemi theme. The Exterior
Paint is 1983 Dodge Graphite Red. Phil has owned the car since
April, 2005 and this complete recreation has taken 4.5 years. The
car was driven briefly in October, 2009, after it's completion. With
the addition of an MSD 6AL Ignition Control Module over the Winter,
it will be ready for the 2010 season of local cruise-in and car show
events. The car may also see a couple of blasts down the quarter
mile ...
