Top Day 2 Musclecars?

[DW31S]

Addison's Mopar had backing from Chrysler so while a cool beast, I can't really throw that car into this discussion. Possibly the baddest street car ever (in OUR terms of street car; not the silly Hot Rod magazine thing), but hardly attainable by the average Joe.
And so far BIG has made the most profound statement of this discussion......Stay away from Summit!!!

'64 A864 street Hemi aluminum nose sedan from either Plymouth or Dodge if you're talking strictly Day 2 mods of shifter / shift kit and the 3 T's - tach / tires / tune. They already had 4.56 gears. Take off 4-bolts to uncap the factory "manifold's" and in the right hands would be a hard to beat car.

Were these production cars that came off the assembly line or were they farmed out? Curious to hear if they are legal in Pure Stock, too. Did a quick Google search and didn't get a definitive answer.

Thanks

Was a line built car and not farmed out. If you were well read in the magazines back in the day you could go to your local Mopar dealer and order one w/o having to be a &quot;factory&quot; driver. The issue on these cars is the term &quot;header&quot; instead of manifold. &quot;Headers&quot; are not allowed in Pure Stock or FAST. The first 3&quot; of these manifolds are cast iron with tubular pipes put into them. Since the factory called them &quot;headers&quot; in the literature they have not been allowed to race. Here's what they look like - http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/2918271...amp;rmvSB=true
