Yesterday, I spoke to Darrell Davis, a retired Chrysler Exec., who convinced Chrysler that he should take all records associated with the early Max Wedge and Race Hemis. He has a very nice collection himself and has been a big help with the research on my '62 Super Stock Plymouth. His books are very informative in helping to ID, authenticate, and educate on all things Max Wedge and Race Hemi for Dodge and Plymouth.

I showed him the Swedish magazine article and he had this to say:

"Hello Sam:
I knew Jack FiveaIsh who owned Hill Kelly Dodge in Pensacola. I believe that his daughter still runs it and still owns it. I had heard about this car but didn't have any information on it. I looked and haven't shipped any book to Sweeden although Galen may have sold one to him.
By my records the first Dodge Ram Charger equipped car was shipped on May 8th, then two were shipped on May 9th, two on May 10th and four on the 11th. That would make 9 shipped before the 14th which was a Monday. Five were shipped on that day so I would guess that it is between number ten and fourteen depending on its line position.
Best regards,
Darrell
"

Sam, I feel the same way as you about these cars so I understand fully.

I did not believe it would be the very first car built, that´s why I wrote the way I did initially. I will try to contact the Swedish owner and inform him of what Darrell have told you.

Sam, I contacted Jonny (the current owner) half an hour ago and he says that he has spoken to Darrell Davis over the phone about his car. Jonny believed that Darrell said it was the 4:th car built, but maybe he said the 14:th ?
Jonny has tried to buy Darrells books on the ebay store, but since we don´t have the same type of Zip-codes etc. it has not worked out. I would probably want to buy one or two of those books myself, so maybe you could help us out here Sam, if we run into trouble ?

You bet Anders. Just let me know. I can buy direct and ship them to you if run into trouble. I recommend Darrell's books - very informative. If only Chevrolet had such detailed information!!!!
