You could drive any one of them on the street , just not for street use. The new Hemi was very temperamental. Did not like it slow, did not like cold as the carbs iced up, not for stop and go. And Insurance was out of sight unless you lied about the engine. The engine change over came as of Feb 1 1964. Max wedges were no longer made only street wedges. The engines went out to the race teams and when they worked out they had to go out to the public for nascar approval. Nascar limited it to single 4bbl. and the drag cars had 2. various model came out in Savoy, Belvedere, then the lightweight packages. Their were zero Hemi's in Fury's or Sport fury's. None nota ever came out of Chrysler to dealers or racers. If you have one or think you had one you better register it with Chrysler historical, Galen, and Darrell so it can be authenticated. Sorry but those are the written facts. If you Dad said he ordered one I hope you still have the build sheet as it is worth its weight in gold Dave O ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rich Kinsley" <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>

I don't recall the particulars of the Hemi in the new '64 being repaired when I had my new '64 in for servicing. I guarantee it was the "new" '64 Hemi and it was a street driven car but he did race it.
