Max Wedge Barn Find Video

[Daytona Jim]

Just posted a video about the 63 Sport Fury Max Wedge convertible I found last August. Had lots of questions about the car so I think the video will answer some of them. Search YouTube: Max Wedge Barn Find

Nice find Jim ...hope to see & hear more in the future.

Strange that the hood bracing has not been removed? Is it a non original hood?

Awesome Video, but side question How much are those Max Wedge Manifolds worth?

 

[Richard Cranium]

Now you need a period correct 426 to drop in her...

Ohhhh I thought this WAS a period correct car and the wedge in its original body.

The car was built Oct. 30, 1962. I found a 426 Max Wedge block casted in Aug. of 62 and assembled on Sept. 19, 1962. Perfect date codes for the car.
The Max Wedge manifolds are pricy, but can be found on eBay as well as this site.
The hood needs some detective work. The under hood bracing is normally cut out for air cleaner clearance. Was the hood changer or was this step missed at the factory?
