The 1965 Plymouth Belvedere offered here was delivered to Edgewater Motors in Bellhaven, NC in January 1965 and campaigned by Thad Boyd Jr as “Rawhide.” A genuine race Hemi lightweight A990, it is extremely correct thanks to a complete rotisserie restoration. The 426/425 HP Race Hemi engine features rare Alcoa aluminum K-code heads, magnesium Cross Ram intake and correct dual Holley carburetors, and is backed by a park-delete TorqueFlite automatic transmission and 4.56 Dana rear end. The body work and interior are both correct, with lightweight fenders, doors and hood, lightweight Corning glass, aluminum door hinges, A100 van seats and radio and heater delete. This very special factory racer has been featured in numerous articles including Collectible Automobiles (April 2010), Hemi - The Ultimate American V8 and Hemi Muscle by Genat.
