Lightweight aluminum front end Max Wedge. Factory built race car!
Only a handful of these cars were built and this one must be one of
the best in existence. Rotisserie restored to factory specs. This
is the real deal! EXTERIOR: The fenders, hood, hood scoop, and
bumper brackets are aluminum. The front bumper is less than half
the typical thickness. The body is pristine, arrow straight and
fits right. Painted in a glass black finish. All the chrome and
trim is restored shiny and straight. Weatherstrips and seals were
replaced. It is sitting on correct reproduction BFG Silvertown
tires, painted rims and polished poverty hubcaps.
INTERIOR: Stunning red interior and it looks practically new from
carpet to headliner. It also continues the lightweight theme with
radio, heater and cigarette lighter delete. Beautiful upholstery
with correct vinyl/cloth and chrome piping. Door panels were
replaced. Carpet fits without wrinkles. The white headliner and
visors are excellent, dome lights work. The dash area is beautiful
and although it lacks comfort features it does have the push button
transmission. It also has red seatbelts in the front.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 426 Max Wedge III actually has a trick up
its sleeve too! It's been stroked to a 505 and Dyno tuned at 623 hp
and 652 lbs of torque! Detailed invoice from Wheeler Racing Engines
is included along with the Dyno sheet. From the outside the motor
is absolutely factory stock including the manifolds, valve covers
and stickers. On top is the cross ram intake with dual 4 barrel
carbs. All off which is restored like new. Every bracket, relay,
clamp looks new and correct. The fender tag is attached. Under the
hood has the cut-out bracing to accommodate the dual carbs.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The battery was relocated to the trunk from the
factory. This gave more room in the engine compartment and a little
more weight over the rear tire. It has the correct vent tubes in
place that would have hooked up to an old style battery. The
battery that is being used is a modern sealed battery. It also has
a never used reproduction BFG Silvertown tire for a spare on a
painted rim.
UNDERSIDE: Yes, it's restored like new under this car but there are
some important unique features to its authenticity I would like to
point out first. It has more leaf springs on the passenger side,
the spacer on a rubber snubber, nuts welded in rear frame rails
preassembly, oil pan, and of course factory exhaust dumps! All the
steering, suspension and brakes have been restored. The exhaust
looks like new. The fuel system was replaced. Looking up at the
motor it is spotless and the correct casting numbers and date are
visible. It has the heavy duty 727 Torqueflite automatic and it
took is restored like new. A rebuilt driveshaft leads back to the 8
3/4 rear end with 4.56 Sure Grip gears! The floors are immaculate
and painted gloss black.
SERVICE: We inspected this car and it passed with flying colors.
The speedometer is off because of the crazy 4.56 gears!
This car is right; it is from some serious Mopar collectors that
know these cars. This VIN number is listed in Darrell Davis' book
as a real car. We've sold tens of thousands of cars; this is our
first lightweight. This is a very rare opportunity to own one of
the toughest cars of the muscle car era and most are race cars.
This is arguably the best one, period.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
