History 1964 = NHRA Drag Classes

I know this has been discussed. I am building a 1964 dodge 426 max wedge car. I am building it to resemble what it would have looked like racing in super stock class in 64 & 65. It will be a 4 speed car, 426 max wedge. What letters do I need to paint onto the side. As best as I can tell S/S is what I should have.. Can anyone tell me definitively what would have been on the side of a stick max wedge car in 64 - 65..?

 

I will check so old mags I have , maybe this old youtube vid will help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4tKtrrJH4s

 

My 62 Pontiac 421-4 spd Super Duty w/ aluminum front end and bumpers was S/S in 62,63. In 64 it was A/S. I used to run the 426 hemi's and wedges with it.

 

That sounds about right, watch out for those "Thunderbolts"

 

This is a actual 1964 NHRA B/SR National Champion at Indy,.... And Spring National Champion In 1966 At Bristol.

 

S/S A, if it were an automatic car it would be S/S AA. I used to run a cheater 63 dodge G/S A. I had a lotta fun as it ran 1 1/2 seconds under the record! I got caught with a aftermarket manifold a few times and got put into S/S JA (not so much fun). The class was based on cubic inches and weight.
