I got a call from a friend of mine about two weeks ago. He said he saw a 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible in a shed at the back of a old auto parts and cars storage yard. He then said "it has a 383 in it and funny looking exhaust manifolds on it". He sent me some pics and I thought "why did someone put Max Wedge manifolds on a 383 car" or is it possible "someone put a 383 in a Max Wedge car"?? I got loads of info from Greg at MaxWedge.com and went to see the car. Sure as can be it is a real Max Wedge car. Complete and correct except for the 426 motor is gone. I bought the car and brought it home. Happy Happy Happy Jim

Congratulations, that's like winning the lottery, one give away that's a real max wedge car is the way the brake line is routed away from the manifold.

Rare find! If I could only stumble into something like that! Good luck with the restore!
