Run away from this guy. Unless the car is real cheap of course. '64s could have come with 426 max wedge motors [not 413] until mid year, then the hemi was introduced & the max wedge was discontinued. Mopars used aluminum for their lightweight body pieces in '64, so, fibreglass would be aftermarket.

Yep...the 'glass' body panels are aftermarket. I worked at the Chrysler Twinsburg, OH stamping plant from 65 till 74 and never heard of or saw a glass panel. A friend at the Hamtramck, MI assembly plant said a few aluminum panels were sent to Highland Park, apparently for some skunk work projects (ie..race team cars).

If you think the car is for real, contact Galen Govier at [email protected] to decode the fender tag. He is the recognized Mopar Guru.
