INTRO: Want to stand out in the crowd? This is the car for you!
It's a Max Wedge tribute that is topped off with the Cross Ram
intake and dual quads. We acquired this car from a Mopar collector
that owned it for 20 years and was reluctant to part ways. It's a
very honest car that is very dialed in as well. What a show stopper
with killer performance and looks!
EXTERIOR: One of the most unique car designs ever and I love it! I
especially love the tail end design. The abundant bright work was
all redone and has a glorious shine. Looking down the side of the
body it is arrow straight with super smooth contours and crisp
lines. The panels all fit flush and square with tremendous
alignment and tight gaps that are very consistent and spot on. The
doors close very easily with minimal effort. The paint is
exceptional and laid out beautifully. It's extremely smooth and has
a mirror-like reflection. The front grille and taillights are in
fantastic condition, and so visually appealing. It's rolling on a
set of American Racing Torque Thrust II chrome wheels wrapped in
Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires.
INTERIOR: What a sweet color combination! The entire interior has
been refurbished and looks fantastic. All the gauges on the dash
are so cool to look at. The push button transmission is a blast to
use. The oblong steering wheel feels great plus it's very practical
and pretty with all the chrome. It has a power top and the original
Astrophonic radio was converted to am/fm. The clock has a quartz
movement. All the seats were recovered and it has a very useful
center console. The door panels and carpeting were also replaced
and look fantastic.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: A 440 cubic inch V8 was totally rebuilt to look
like the ultra rare 413 Ramcharger/Max Wedge. It's equipped with a
Cross Ram intake, 1962 3447 carbs, Max Wedge heads and hi-flow
exhaust manifolds that are Jet Hot coated. Internally it is bored
.030 over and upgraded with a Crane roller cam, TWR pistons, and a
steel crank. It's equipped with power steering that has Firm Feel
added plus an upgraded dual reservoir master cylinder. We replaced
the valve cover gaskets. The Mopar brand radiator was recored and
has a fresh transmission cooler mounted in front of it. The battery
is properly secured and the horn is hooked up. The original fender
tag is still in place. The underside of the hood, fender wells and
firewall are all painted slick just like the body.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are both
neatly painted body color. Reproduction jack stickers were added
and the weatherstrip was replaced. Inside is nice and complete with
a very cool full size spare tire and jack assembly etc. Under the
mat is all solid and rust free metal with nice spatter finish
paint.
UNDERSIDE: Nicely refinished some time ago and maintained as needed
since. The steering is in great shape and works easily. We replaced
the outer tie rods. The suspension also looks very good with
Gas-a-just shocks all the way around. It has 4 wheel drum brakes
and the emergency brake is also hooked up. It has a fresh looking
dual exhaust system with chrome tips exiting under the rear bumper.
Looking up at the engine it is nice and clean with Hemi Orange
paint and an extra capacity Milodon oil pan. The 727 Torqueflite
automatic transmission was rebuilt with a shift kit, finned
aluminum pan plus a Coan 3300 rpm stall converter. The power gets
put to the pavement via a rebuilt 8 �" Suregrip rear end that has
3.91 gears. The floors appear to be solid and rust free with a thin
undercoating that is neatly dusted with black paint.
SERVICE: We ran this car through our shop and we replaced the belt,
valve cover gaskets, cooling line, and outer tie rods. We also
repaired the exhaust tip, passenger door latch, passenger rear
window, and wipers.
The 1962 Dodge Polara 500 is a very special automobile. Don't
expect everybody to own one. Heck I'm in the business and I
couldn't name the year, make, and model the first time I laid eyes
on this car! Killer colors, raging performance plus high quality
paint and bodywork make this Max Wedge tribute an absolute winner!
I'm in love!
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
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
