That car is just awsome! I would love to own it but I will just have to add it to my wish list.

Looks like the holes where the more pedestrian cars had the bracket for the windshield washer IV drip bag.

I went under there and I didn't see any part numbers. The springs looked like there were mostly natural with maybe some Black paint on them? Hard to tell, they just looked weathered.

A few weeks ago I sent a request to Chrysler Historical for a copy of the original IBM build card for the car. In the mail yesterday came the full decoding and copy of the IBM build card! Everything is as it's supposed to be...NICE!

I'd do three things to it...

1)add electronic ignition
2)add fuel
3)drive it!

It's awesome..

Next time you get the chance look REALLY hard for signs of silver paint on the leaf springs.

Hi Eric,

I have a 1963 MW Savoy, also a 415HP and 3-speed car like yours. I'm trying to bring it back to factory specs, after being cut up straight axle race car for god knows how long. I'm currently working with the engine room and trying to figure out all the holes, fasteners, cable routing etc. I have a thread about it here -> https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...e=1#Post6754936

Here are some pics:

Anselmi, are you restoring the 63 Plymouth Max Wedge back to day one, or leaving some of the aftermarket race stuff on it. I remember when you bought that old 63 Max Wedge project awhile back, the ad said that it might have been Dick Landy's old car, did you ever find out whose car it was.

Don't want to hijack Eric's thread, maybe start my own on the project section... but at this point I have only decided that the sheetmetal will go back to factory condition. One cool option would be to finish it as the "sister" S/S car for Fred Sanders' identical white/blue S/SA car, that it originally was ordered to be... 50 years too late.



As the car was ordered by Al Roberts Plymouth Inc with the idea of Fred (at that time employed by the dealership) racing it, it wasn't a "sold car" when new. Before the car hit any track, the idea of campaigning a 3-speed manual car was cancelled though, when they thought that the T85 wasn't strong enough (they saw a fellow racer blow up his). At that point the car was probably sold as a new car to someone looking for a nice set of wheels

I have not been able to track down any previous owners from the early days, but heard someone tell me that Landy's car has allready been found and this is not it.

I have a original pair of springs out of one of my 63's that have quite a bit of the silver paint you are talking about. I didn't look to hard for numbers on them but one did have 1213 stamped on it.
