Very feared street race car in its era. 427 Fords and 409 Chevies tended to steer clear unles "spotted" some carlengths. Any body remember the south Chicago street race scene of 1963? Nightime eliminations at 107th street in the forest preserves?

I remember seeing a 1963 red 330 sedan with the stage 111 426 with 13.5 to 1 compression trying to get started one night at the local drive in A&W. Had a hell of a time getting it to crank fast enough to get her to fire. But when fired GREAT!!

@2vintage68 What a Bitchin story..Yeah those 13.5 to 1 Wedges took alot to crank over for sure, even with the awesome heavy duty Chrysler starters.

Dayum, I really like the exhaust system, sounds good as heeeell.

[marcusedell]

@Topboners That was 3" exhaust through 2 chamber Flowmaster mufflers.also had cut outs on it so it could run open..

She's a beauty. I'll bet she'll pass everything but a gas station. Socks with sandals, what are you German? :-)

Nice ride. Does this have a solid lifter cam ?

In about 1972 I found a 64' Max Wedge on a used car lot for $1200 bucks. The wife said NO ! LoL

The Little Old Lady from Pasadena. I always loved the engines on these. A truly unique musclecar engine! It sounds like you have Tazmanian Devil under the hood!

What a gorgeous beast.

I am curious, since I've watched the initial video and this one, Why on earth would anyone sell something like this. I mean, all of these early 60's big blocks had soul. A big one at that. You can't sell a soul.. The car was just brilliant, by the way. Congratulations on bringing it to that state. At least she'll survive for many years to come. Excellent work, I salute you and hope that one day your kids can recover it somehow. Maybe I can win the lottery and buy it from its owner for 2$ mil :|

beautiful car brother!

@marcusedell It didn't help that one of our basic tuning tools in that era was to arbitrarily advance the initial timing without changing the overall distributor max advance! The phrase "speed tuning" had just come into vogue and if you had the money dyno tuning was the ticket, but most of us just experimented on our own.

Well prepped 426 dodges seemed to run about a half second faster in the quarter to similar 409's and 427 Fords. The word Ramcharger instilled terror in those days!
