What this record proves

The badge is only the beginning.

A 330-horsepower 383 behind a Hurst-shifted four-speed is the ordinary end of Plymouth's 1964 street performance. The shifter is recorded as part of the configuration because Plymouth advertised it as such, not as an aftermarket detail added later.

Plymouth published the output without a stated basis, so the figure is an advertised claim rather than an observation. No matched period road test is attached, and advertised availability does not authenticate any individual car.

The Commando engines belong to a street catalog that is deliberately kept apart from the race Hemi of the same season. Plymouth's 1964 reputation was made at Daytona by an engine no showroom customer could order, and merging the two would misrepresent both.
