Bill Maverick Golden's 1964 Hemi Dodge Super Stocker is featured in the October 2011 issue of
MOPAR ACTION magazine.
The article begins on page 72, runs to page 76.

Using correct date coded-parts Larry Shepard built the 720 horsepower Hemi for the restoration.
As the 1964 and 1965 426 Hemis were the factory race engines this definitely puts the actual output
of these engines in perspective.
