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.

Looks like the underside could use some work, but it looks good otherwise with good docs. Tough to beat an Onyx Black 426 Super Stock Dodge! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

Just curious. It sounds like you have an idea of what these are worth? What do you expect to pay for a documented, rare, high horse Super Stock Dodge in a good color? Did you check with Darrell Davis?

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.
