1964 Plymouth Savoy 426 Lightweight<\/h1>\n
\n

Sold as part of the Ellis Collection at Dana Mecum’s 2009 St. Charles Auction for $160,000 USD. Described as:<\/span><\/p>\n

The old saying \u201cRace on Sunday, Sell on Monday\u201d was the inspiration behind the Glenwood Motors \u201cWild One\u201d race car. The Riverside, California dealership was convinced that an outstanding car that would drive traffic to their dealership on Monday\u2019s.<\/p>\n

On Page 44 of Maximum Performance, Mopar Super Stock Drag Racing 1962-1969, noted author Jim Schild, states the following, \u201cOn October 11th, 1963, Chrysler Corporation send an announcement to all Dodge and Plymouth dealers describing the new refined 426 maximum-performance engine packages. It was pointed out in the letter to the Plymouth dealers from John B. Naughton, assistant general manager of Chrysler-Plymouth Division, that Plymouth owners set 60 drag strip records and won more than 300 first place trophies.. The new engines, known as the 426III in the Plymouth and Ramcharger 426-B in the Doge, were the culmination of the previous research and lessons learned. The engines included a number of changes that made them even more powerful and durable. Production of the new 426 wedge engines began on November 15, 1963\u2026\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glenwood Motors was one of the fortunate early recipients as theirs was scheduled for production November 21, 1963 but was shipped November 20th, slightly ahead of schedule (No one could have imagined the tragedy that took place on the following days when President Kennedy was assassinated.)<\/p>\n

Once Glenwood Motors received the car they relied on their top mechanic Bob Hickman to apply his talents to enhance this potent Mopar. (Hickman was one of the finest carburetor and ignition guys on the west coast.) Lee Brown was chosen by the dealership to drive the \u201cWild One\u201d a name so appropriate as he could identify with. Brown was known to locals as being a popular true high roller, playboy kind of driver and the dealership hoped to gain on this reputation.<\/p>\n

Glenwood Motors debuted their car at the 1964. NHRA \u201cWinternationals\u201d held at Pamona, California over the second weekend in February of 1964. The list of attendees of this most historical event read like a who\u2019s who of famous drag racers, Don Nicholson, Ronnie Sox, Gas Ronda, Dick Brannan, Bill Lawton, Butch Leal, Dave Strickler, Bill Golden, Al Eckstrand, Lee Brown and Phil Bonner. (The aforementioned list is only a partial listing!)<\/p>\n

The National Dragster issue dated February 21, 1964 states the following, \u201cPhil Bonner brought the Ford crowd back to its feet with a S\/S victor over Lee Brown\u2019s \u201cWild One\u201d a 1964 Plymouth. The thunderbolt turned an 11.68 \u2013 125.69, while Brown had a 12.02 -121.29.\u201d If you have to lose to someone losing to Phil Bonner is much like losing to George Foreman in a heavy weight prize fight, you had to earn the right to be there in the first place. The \u201cWild One\u201d lived up to its name and earned a significant spot in drag race history.<\/p>\n

We are like kids in a candy store, except the candy is made of metal, goes vroom-vroom, and occasionally bankrupts us faster than a sugar rush at a candy store sale! We spend hours debating the merits of turbochargers versus superchargers, and our weekends are a never-ending quest for the perfect polish and wax combo. We can identify every make and model by the sound of a revving engine, and our idea of a romantic evening is a candlelit dinner with our cars in the garage.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.supercars.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Supercars.net\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/super.cars.fans","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/supercars_net"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/supercars\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209697"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209697\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
