Rotisserie restored and fast! This Max Wedge convertible is a clone
of a car that is impossible to find, because they only produced a
handful of them from the factory. This one has a professionally
built 512 stroker engine that produced a stout 656 horsepower on
the Dynometer. It received a very high quality and detailed
rotisserie restoration and was wonderfully preserved since then.
This one is so precise; nobody will be able to tell the difference
between it and an original!
EXTERIOR: I'm in love with the color combination! Said to be
stripped down to bare metal; the Ermine White paint was applied
with great attention to detail followed by a good polish to a
smooth and slick finish. All the panels have been painstakingly
aligned with awesome gaps that are very consistent. The doors close
easily with minimal effort. The front hood scoop just looks flat
out tough. The power white vinyl convertible top is in great shape
and works well. The windshield was replaced and most of the side
glass looks original, the rubber seals and fuzzy strips were
replaced. The front grill looks to be original as well as the
bumper, they are both in great condition. The taillights are
beautiful and unique, and I absolutely love the fat 3" dual exhaust
pipes coming out the back. Its sitting on a nice set of Cragar SS
15" wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
INTERIOR: This two-tone red and white interior really pops against
the Ermine white exterior. I love the recovered low back bucket
seats and original looking center console that has built-in
storage, astray and cigarette lighter. The rear seat was also
recovered with matching upholstery. The dashpad is not cracked and
the visors have been recovered. The gauge cluster is both beautiful
and nostalgic and very attractive to look at with a unique vintage
font. The oblong steering wheel and push button transmission are
some of my favorite features ever on a car. The door panels have
also been refinished with matching upholstery and look great. All
the chrome has a bright and shiny finish. The builder added a
vintage Moroso tachometer to the column and a triple gauge cluster
under the dash to monitor the vitals.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Professionally built! A 440 was bored .040",
stroked and Dyno tested at 656 hp and 662 lbs of torque! The now
512 cubic inch Max Wedge engine looks stock and is equipped with a
Mopar cross-ram intake, Max wedge exhaust manifolds, Edelbrock 800
cfm carbs, forged crankshaft, forged connecting rods, flat top
pistons, solid roller camshaft (.650" exhaust lift and 303�
duration), Indy cylinder heads, full roller timing chain and much
more. Everything is fresh and clean with neatly applied Hemi Orange
paint. All the hoses, wires and belts look like new. The battery is
properly secured; master cylinder upgraded to a dual reservoir. The
radiator looks fresh, and the horns are hooked up too. The
underside of the hood is cut out just like the factory did to
accommodate the dual quads. The fender wells and firewall have all
been painted slick just like the body.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb have
been painted body color. A reproduction sticker was added. The
weatherstrip was replaced. Inside the trunk has all been nicely
painted and boxed. It's equipped with a full size spare, rubber
trunk mat, and jack assembly. Under the mat is all clean rust free
metal that has been painted white.
UNDERSIDE: Spotless and gorgeous! All the components have been
replaced or rebuilt. The steering and suspension all look fresh. It
was upgraded with Gas-A-Just shocks all the way around. It has a
front disc brake conversion, and the emergency brake is hooked up
and it has new hardware too. The fuel tank was also replaced, and
it now has an electronic external pump. Looking up at the engine is
neatly painted Hemi Orange and has a huge extra capacity oil pan.
The rebuilt 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission has a high stall
converter and a manual valve body. It has a limited slip 8 3/4"
rear end with 3.55 gears. The floorboards and frame rails are all
pristine rust free metal that were painted the same color as the
body.
SERVICE: Our shop manager thoroughly inspected this car and we
adjusted the idle speed, lubricated the tachometer cable, rebuilt
the blower switch, ran new blower wiring, replaced the horn relay,
and repaired the brake lights.
Here it is folks, one of the rarest of rare Mopars ever! You can
have all the aesthetics of the original, with highly improved
performance for a small fraction of the price, and nobody will ever
know the difference. Your secret is safe with me! This restoration
would cost far more than we are asking, it is a great value.
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
