mfbarnes Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Anyone have any background on either of these cars or whether or not they are one in the same. These are 1964 Plymouth Savoys, Ebony black (BB1) with red interior (LR1), but here's the rub, there were only 7 of them produced and what are the odds that two of them end up in the Houston Area. In 1965 Larry Chabert's "Flying Wedge" was a dominant car, Later this version showed up as "Aggravation" owned and raced by a guy named Roland Hayes? out of Pasadena. Aggravation is currently in Minnesota trying to be restored. Just trying to figure out if they are one in the same car. I'm pretty certain Aggravation was one of seven super stock 64 Plymouth Savoys, ordered in 64 Ebony Black (BB1) with Red interior (L1R) delivered to Jank Riegler Chrysler Plymouth in San Antonio TX on 1/15/64 came with a 4 speed, and 4:56 gears on the 8-3/4 rear end assembly. It was sans radio and heater from the factory. It had a Stage III Hemi with the aluminum nose package to shed weight. Now not sure if it was run locally by say Harry Urbach before it changed hands. Can't seem to find much on Charlie Chabert and the Flying Wedge. It originally had NHRA 4945 assigned to it, and held many many records. Ran regularly at Green Valley and San Antonio drags strips, was also seen often at Temple Academy (Little River) dragway. It was campaigned for years by a guy named Roland Hayes? (I think) out of Pasadena Tx. He finally blew up the 426 wedge Hemi and replaced it with a 440 tunnel ram engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
