The 1964 Belvedere and the matching Fury hardtop coupes had a new slant back roofline that proved popular, and sales improved significantly over the previous design. It was also the car that introduced the 426 Chrysler Hemi engine, with a canted large valve layout that greatly improved high rpm breathing, and Hemi powered Belvederes won first, second and third at NASCAR's 1964 Daytona race, one of the winners being Richard Petty.
