Any MOPAR Max Wedge guys?

[Ziggysdad]

Any idea what a 1963 restored Dodge Polara 500 Max Wedge is worth?

Teeny market as in they didn't make many and even fewer survived. These cars don't come up for sale often either. You might contact Darrell Davis (retired Chrysler exec) who was very involved with Chrysler racing and has a tremendous database of info on Max Wedge and Race Hemi cars: shop# 407.701.4493

Good luck - let us know what you find out (or at least me: I have one of the 1st 10 Super Stock Plymouths - '62)

The car is a 1963 Dodge Polara 500 Max Wedge. It can be viewed t www.rk-motors.com. We can't come to terms on a deal so I won't get the car. I have spoken with the previous owner that restored it and it is everything as advertised, but is I believe way overpriced for today.

If you remember the &quot;Best in Show&quot; place from Ohio, that's the same place but with a new name and new location.

I am familiar with Best of Show and their new location. I have dealt with them and and Joe Carroll before. He is a honest good guy that accurately represents their cars. Relative to this car I have spoken with two previous owners, both who raced max Wedges in the early 60's. This car is the real deal and very rare. I just don't have the room for it without selling something and now is not the time to sell, particularly if you have something special with bulletproof documentation. I would buy the Max Wedge in a heartbeat if I could make room for it.

Norm, I have to respectfully disagree. 150K prices are long gone. I spoke with a collector friend who has an aluminum front end Max Wedge, and I confirmed his opinion with another long time collector. Their opinion is the car is worth 65-80K with 80K being all the money today. The Polara 500 was not even available with the aluminum front end which would raise the value. Gorgeous car though.

While he may be honest, the person who writes is ad copy is prone to puffery. Reminds me of a &quot;car salesman&quot; in the truest sense of the word.
