Vehicle Description
1963 Plymouth Savoy Max Wedge For Sale- 1 Of Only 18 Ever Built,
426ci Max Wedge LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1963
Plymouth Savoy Max Wedge\ As Chrysler was heavily involved in NHRA
Super Stock drag racing, the 1963 racing season brought several
significant changes, the most important being a new ruling that
limited stock-bodied competition engines to seven liters (427.16
CI). As this change went into effect, Detroit automakers
participating actively in those series quickly made displacement
accommodations to reach the new number. Chrysler took the standard
413 CI RB block design and enlarged the bore from 4.19 inches to
4.25 inches. This increase in bore size allowed them to achieve an
increase to 426 CI, a number that would be synonymous with the
company for the remainder of the performance era and down through
today. The Maximum Performance engine (or Max Wedge for short)
featured redesigned heads and valvetrain, a special intake that
used Chrysler's secretive "ram tuning" technology and dual 4-barrel
carburetors, and better driveline equipment. In May of 1963 this
car was delivered to Des Swifenbank, owner of Des Redwood Motors of
Garberville, CA. The car has been well cared for since new and not
known to have been formally raced in major track competition, hence
it remains in outstanding overall condition. The car came equipped
with an trunk mounted battery, 426/415hp 11.1 compression engine,
cross ram dual 4-barrel manifold, two carter 625cfm carburetors,
upswing exhaust manifolds with 3" head pipes and factory exhaust
cutouts, heavy duty TorqueFlite push-button transmission, 3.91
Sure-Grip limited-slip rear end and hood brace delete. As Mopar
dominated Super Stock racing in the 60's, this Plymouth Savoy is
great reminder of the performance era where Chrysler engineers
ruled. 1 of only 18 1963 426 Plymouth Savoy 2 door sedans (Stage 1)
