This is Weldon’s 63 Max Wedge. Another North Tulsa shot. You will notice it says "Tex Weldon" on the door. Weldon's mother in law did not approve of his racing so he often raced under the Tex Weldon name as to not get his name in the paper.

When this car was retired the 426 was replaced with a 383 and Steve drove it on the street. The car was later traded to a guy named Jim Nelson for a white 63 aluminum car.

I purchased the red 63 in this picture and replaced the 383 with a 440 out of a wrecked 69 R/T that had 900 miles on it. I sold the car to Darrell Sweet who worked for Don Grotheer.

Darrell sold it his brother who traded it in on a Ford Falcon (what a disgrace). No one knows what happened to the car after than. It would be fun to locate it. I have the VIN.
