The history:
Mr Norms 1964 Dodge 330 two-door post sedan appears to be a real factory lightweight Hemi car that was campaigned in Super Stock with the backing of Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago, that was run by the iconic Mr.Norm of Muscle car and drag racing folklore, during the height of the Super Stock wars as they began their gradual transition in to Drag racing.

This Dodge is an original race car delivered by Grand Spaulding Dodge in 1964. Part of the seller’s documentation is an actual advertisement from the dealership offering this exact car for sale, labeling it as “ Mr. Norm” Krause’s personal race car, the Hustler! II, sold with the slightly altered front wheelbase that was becoming standard in the new evolving FX S/S class in drag racing, for which the car was lettered when it was restored. Even the glove compartment door is signed by Mr. Norm. The car was also driven under a different name later on with the name “Spartacus” by Al DeSalvo.

As you can see on the pictures, the underside has almost a surgical spotlessness.
