1963r2 Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Well if it helps I don't think it was 4,5,6,7 or 9. A guess would be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1lark Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) 'Cars' magazine had an article on the '64 R4 convertible, still wearing it's #3, that they said was clocked at 146 at Bonneville. Supposedly the car came straight from Bonneville to the 'Cars' editors for the road test. Serial number of this car was 64V1003. So, false, it was #3. And, by the way, Andy G. set 12 records in this car, but many many more were set in this same car by Vince G. and Barbra Nieland. The January 1964 Hot Rod Magazine 'Bonneville Wrap-up' article has a lot of info on the records set by this car. This same article has a cool pic of the car at speed: Edited January 12, 2022 by r1lark Added info about number of records, and added picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
