Nice to see a Max Wedge Plymouth featured here. My dad raced three of them (a '62 Savoy 413, a '63 Savoy 426, and a '63 Belvedere 426) for Al Roberts Plymouth in 1962-63, then bought a new '63 Savoy 426 aluminum front end super stocker late in the 1963 model year. He raced it with a good amount of success at local, divisional, and even national events until selling it in 1969 to take care of my mom's long recovery from two strokes she suffered that year. I bought it back 48 years later. I've been racing my own Max Wedge cars in NHRA stock classes since the mid seventies, and still am racing the Max Wedge/4 speed '64 Dodge that my dad and I built in 1974. Never thought that I would have his Plymouth together with my Dodge, but they are now. His Plymouth is far too nice and original) to mess it up in order to comply with today's rules, so it stays in the shop...getting driven on short trips on uncrowded streets in the neighborhood 2-3 times a month.

I remember an elderly couple had a Savoy like this in black with red interior. I grew up in a small town so even young I always remember cars, especially like this. Young guys always bugged them to sell it naturally. Good news happened though, a car enthusiast bought it and I was glad about that. He knew what he had and last time I saw it the car still looks new. Thank God it was saved and not purchased by someone who would have trashed it.

The reason the 64 GTO gets credited with being the first mid size muscle car is because the 62-63 413/426 Max Wedge Mopars are really considered to be more of a race car than a muscle car. They had a version of the 426 Max Wedge that had a factory compression ratio of 13.5:1...which made it pretty much impossible to drive on the street

Would love to own of those. While not a factory race car, I had a 1966 Plymouth Fury 1 two (2) door sedan with a 440-4bbl police engine. It had been a highway patrol car here in Western Canada and man did that thing fly. This brings back memories. Being 18 though I couldn't afford the amount of fuel it drank so I unfortunately let it go

Happy to read you enjoy this one Ed B. :-)

I love these earlier Super Stock Dodge and Plymouths. Any Mopar 60s car with Heater/Radio delete is like gold. My first car was a '64 Belvidere, a step above the Savoy, so needless to say this car is beautiful to me. Of course, I'm a Hemi guy, but these earlier wedge engines are wonderful. You can see so many precursors of the later '60s engine bays here. That radiator reminds me of having mine rodded out... and the tank needing re-soldered after it came back from the rad shop.

Hi Easy Going, Sounds like you had a fun 1st car for sure :-) Lou

Growing up I had the 383s and 440 magnums but always wanted a max wedge!

Very nice car......VERY COOL!! A guy in our HS had a '63 Sport Fury 383 4spd and was the envy of our AAA (population) HS school. However he was sent to Vietnam and never came back. His younger brother then got it and took good care of it in his honor.

Love it. Looking at the hood badge on this car prompts me to share what I found out recently about this symbol. I'ts an arty representation of the "mayflower" sailing ship that brought early settlers from plymouth England to Plymouth in the states.i've had several valiants over the years and on occasion wondered "what is that design?" Now it makes sense . I just thought I'd bring it up ' I hope it isn't a case of everybody knew that but me.🙂

Fabulous fabulous. In New Zealand, this 61 63 was available 4 door RHD. One was the Plymouth Belvedere, the other was a Dodge 330. Magnificent line and length, push button autos on at least one year. I still hunt for these RHD.
