Went for a Max Wedge ride today

Tom Goldman · 07-27-2012, 05:44 PM

Went for a ride in my Uncle's '63 Dodge MaxWedge today to check out the new trans I built for it with the correct date code.
All original with aluminum front end ,including the bumper.
Has'nt been run or on the street in 15 years!
Horse power and skinny 14" tires,what a concept!

Enjoy the sound, smell and vibes, it's a bute, not many folks have the chance to take a ride in one of them on the street anymore, they have become too valuable.

I had a couple of '62- '63 Dodges in the early '70's but was never able to lay my hands on a Max Wedge .
They were fairly plentiful around here,but always got gobbled up quickly!
Now if I could only get John to bring out his A990 or the B029 car, that would be some great street cruising!

Ran them on 7" tires up to 1972, that was a trip !

Got a scar on my arm from the Stanley rasp we used to use to keep them at 7" !!

Remember it well...compared to a 409 chev [fast] it would "lift your stomach" with an automatic....Big news if you even got to ride in one.

Anyone interested in owning one.
I have a 63 dodge with a max -wedge for sale or trade.
