Production numbers for the 427
By P - 11/03/2003 11:40:14 AM; IP 66.89.75.42
I've picked up bits and pieces here and there but have never seen any totals. I understand there were 5000 units made in 1963, if you can trust the printed source of this info. I understand there were roughly 10,000 hemis made, and the 427 surely must have been way above that number.

In 1963 the 409 was selling at roughly 17,000 units. In 1964 that dropped to around 8,000, and in 1965 down to around 2,500. I attribute the 427 FE to killing the 409, heh heh, but I never saw any production numbers coming from FoMoCo.

regards, P
