Vehicle Description
1964 Savoy wagon?? Back in the Sixties all of the Manufacturers
were building sleepers.. 1963 Pontiac Catalina Wagons , with 421
Tri-Power and factory heavy duty suspensions ... Or worse yet a
four door Plymouth Savoy wagon all decked out like a true mom and
pop grocery getter , but peek under the curtain at what was hidden
beneath the outer skin and you would find a Romping Stomping , Fire
Breathing , Ethyl Burning , Tire Smoking , 426 MAX WEDGE with a
heater delete ...
The Legend is that there were three 426 max wedge wagons built in
1963 and 2 in 1964 these badass , mythical grocery getters were
capable of running A/gas and turning 12 second quarters...... This
car is an unbelievable tribute to those few unicorns that actually
exist out there . This car is equipped with a 440 magnum built by
Reapers Racing. A Max Wedge Cross Ram 2X4 barrel manifold ,
Edelbrock aluminum heads and Roller Rockers , all balanced and
blueprinted to give you the ride of a lifetime !! There had to be a
true purpose for these beasts of burden and I can't believe that
they built them that way so that a family of five could go to the
drags and turn 13 second quarters while having a picnic..... But
here we are still trying to figure out the whys and hows of the
mythical hot rod wagons that were built for one reason and one
reason only. To satisfy the need for speed by old farts that had to
settle down and sell their toys when they became respectable or had
kids..... The Max Wedge Wagon allowed the old folks to sneak up
next to a respectable hot car like a Corvette or a Mustang ,
antagonize them just enough so that when the light changed the
proverbial Corvette driver would romp on the gas pedal leaving the
old fart in the station wagon sitting at the light and feeling
quite smug about it..... Or so he thought .....As he looks in his
rear view mirror he realizes that the old fogies wagon wasn't at
the light ... It was in fact running right next to him and as he
looks over , the old fart waives at him , smiles , gives him a big
thumb up and promptly blows past the now completely deflated
Corvette owner... Score 1 for our team.!!!! As the Corvette guy,
can now clearly see the back of the huge station wagon, he see's a
whole bunch of x's on the back of the tailgate and wonders if he
wasn't the next notch on the Predatory Wedge Wagon's Tailgate.....
This Savoy wagon is in perfect condition and has been fully
restored. Every nut bolt and washer has been touched and it runs
like it should . It is a beautiful tribute to the very rare and
very Predatory Max Wedges......
Y'all will have to excuse me I think I feel a hunt coming on ......
