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…

Thanks for that list Igor. I will pursue them to see if they have engine numbers listed (somewhere).

Here is one 154 write-up (no engine number)

Here is another (Goodings and Company, Auctioneers), but this time with the engine number:

I will look for the others (3 down and 17 to go)

A form of confirmation (but I actually don't believe that 3441 would have been original to the car. Seems too old since
all the other ones seem to be in the 77nn series. (???)

I am working my way down that Dual Ghia list, hoping to find listings with D500 engines and D500 engine numbers. 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.

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:
