New Pure Stock car added to the team

Really the cool part about the car is the low miles, perhaps the lowest 1968?. I've heard there is a 69 with fewer miles. I have some cool DAY2 pictures of the car in race trim. Stickers and all!! I will post them soon. Also It was ordered with 4.56 in the trunk.

Maybe.

My 66 Hemi car had 3661 miles on it when I bought it. It had never been titled and was bought new to race.

The 4.56s make sense for racing as the standard gears for a Hemi were 3.23s for an auto car and 3.54s for a 4 speed. No other gears available in a 68 factory installed. 1969 started with all the factory packages that could get you as low as 4.10s.

My 66 has 4.56s also and these cars definately need gears, distributor recurve, carb tweaking for Pure Stock. The Hemis have the advantage of the closest thing to headers with their factory stock manifolds.

Good luck.

Keep in mind with Mopars, if you didn't order it with an option, they didn't build it with the option. The tachometer was definitely an extra cost item, so was the radio and most likely the heater, too. So they are not deleted items. It's kinda like saying a 6 cyl Satellite has a hemi delete option.

My tongue was in my cheek, as there's no way to figure out if a car is 1 of 1 except in rare circumstances. Looking at the big picture, this car doesn't seem terribly unique other than being a nice Hemi RR.
