Default Re: LATE SIXTIES MICHIGAN DEALER LICENSE PLATES

So far from what I understand it is wedge car,I know very little about Mopars at this time but am searching for more information.According to the information I have received on the trim tag under the A&B there is a 14 and that represents a wedge car,not for sure if it is a max wedge or street wedge.I am going to send the $45.00 dollars to the The Chrysler Historic Society and see what they come up with.I had to buy it after I went to look at it because the body is ORIGINAL and so VERY NICE.Interior is almost excellent except for the front door panels is the only flaws inside the car.There is only 1 rust spot on the car about the size of a half dollar behind the passenger tire on the quarter panel down where it rolls under.I even believe the car has the original black paint on it.Just a few minor dings on the rear trunk trim and 2 small spots on the grill,other than that the trim is excellent except for the red and white paint on the side moulding is faded bad.Go to ebay item # 2400201138 and you can see the car and trim tag information.Rat Pack is also looking to see what he can find out for me also.Car also came with a host of new parts and used parts.The guy I bought it from had a 426 hemi and a richmond 6 speed in the car,he he drove it 1 time since 1987,bought a 69 roadrunner and pulled the 426 out and put it in the roadrunner.He did not know it was a wedge car until he posted the trim tag info on ebay under the description then he had some people notify him it was a wedge car he had to modify the 4 speed hump to get the richmond in .He replaced the front floor pans due to his modifications he made,all I have to do is complete the hump mods back to original if I go with a 4 speed,but I am thinking of going with an auto 727 trans,my Chevelle has a Richmond 6 speed and I would sort of like to have an auto car that my wife could drive to local shows with me.If anyone knows anything about the trim tag info please let me know.I have located a 65 model 426 wedge short block assembly in California but am waiting to hear from the guy on its condition he is asking 250.00 plus shipping for the short block,I am sure it needs a complete overhaul.I just hope the block is in good shape.I would really like to have a 64 model but whatever I can locate.I more than likely will be putting the 383 I purchased in the car for now but would like to take my time and get all the parts I need to build a wedge engine for it.What exactly is the difference between the street wedge and max wedge,is it one has a single carb and the max has the crossram setup.
