Found in my Dual Ghia database – Just for the information, no confirmation or references to it, just the picture and that’s all; Chassis No. 154; Engine No. D500-3441; It could be found at the RM auctions, but not sure… (1.jpg) Attachments ---------------- ![]() | ||

I will pursue them to see if they have engine numbers listed (somewhere). Here is one 154 write-up (no engine number) https://www.classic.com/veh/1957-dual-ghia-154-mWjeJJn/ Here is another (Goodings and Company, Auctioneers), but this time with the engine number: https://www.goodingco.com/lot/1957-dual-ghia-7/ I will look for the others (3 down and 17 to go) ![]() ![]() | ||

Seems too old since all the other ones seem to be in the 77nn series. (???)

Bumped into this one. Listed as 260 hp (D500) but showing as a D500-1 with dual 4 bbls. From what I have read, no D500-1 engines were installed at Dual Motors back in the day so this one is some kind of wishful thinking mod. Regardless, NO engine number provided. ![]() Edited by 56D500boy 2024-11-27 7:05 PM (DualGhia141_EngineBay_1_small.jpg) Attachments ---------------- ![]() | ||

Well, I pursued the Dual-Ghias trying to find more information about their use of D500 double rocker (hemi) 260 hp 4 bbl dual exhaust engines and learned that Dual Motors (Eugene Casaroll's company that put the Dual-Ghias together) had ordered 50 56 Dodge D500 engines and 50 56 Dodge 230 hp 4 bbl polys in advance of producing the 117 odd 56-58 Dual-Ghias By scouring the internet for information about specific Dual-Ghia cars, I found information about 35 or so Dual-Ghias, of which about 18 were noted as having D500 engines. Unfortunately, of those 18 or so, only 5 actually listed D500 engine numbers, i.e. No. 154 with D500-3441, No. 124 with D500-7716, No. 128 with D500-7715, No. 145 with D500-7718 and No. 197 with D500-7723. To be truthful, I am skeptical about No. 154 and D500-3441 because the timing (month/year-wise doesn't seem right). That said, I posted what I found in a separate thread with a Dual-Ghia engine number table (including some 230 hp D633-nnnnn polys) This thread: http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=79827&... with this table (and now I've added those 5 D500 engine numbers to the on-going 56 D500 "registry") - below: The updated D500 engine number table: (DaveFs56DodgeD500EngineNumberDataBase_Dec06_2024.jpg) Attachments ---------------- ![]() | ||
