1964 Dodge 426 Max-wedge, steel nose.(S/SA car) out of
Orange County, New York.

Before he could get his car, he was telephoned and questioned by a
Dodge Performance rep, who asked him about his qualifications and
plans to race the car at a legal-track.

He said, the Dodge rep did not want any 'street racing hooligan' to get
his hands on a Max-Wedge S/SA and race it on the street.
It would give Chrysler a bad name.

He was also, told (asked), to get a Dodge Dealer to co-sponsor the car,
and get Dodge lettering and/or the dealership name on the car.

Hank Taylor in his 1964 Plymouth S/SA 'Mayflower V'
was the first S/SA to go under 11.50.

He did it at Phenix City, Alabama in August 1964.
He re-set the S/SA National Record.

That's the ONE.
And on 7' slicks and headers with only 3" collectors.

Hank Taylor's father was 'very wealthy', and purchased a new
Super/Stocker for his son.
Also, a 65' Plymouth red S/SA.

Both the 64' and 65' cars were 'Southern Killers'.
