A 63 Plymouth savoy that looks like a stock max wedge car that you could drive anywhere and and run 11.50's. Or one that looks stock on the outside with one of the muscle motors king wedges, most likely run 9.50 easy just not near as street able.
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

Unfortunately either is quite expensive.

Ron if I go the max wedge replica it will be exact except for 511 ci and D Porter cam. No roll bar thus the 11.50,s. I have most the engine parts to do that.

Cab I agree it's going to be a challenge to keep it in the 11.50's But the plan is to use the stroke so i can keep the stall tight and the gear in the 3.55 range. Camshaft in the 240 at 50 range with .550 lift. All this and with stock exhaust manifolds and full exhaust. Drag week is on my bucket list and that is what this build would be geared toward. If it looks an sounds like a stock max wedge, cruises 70 mph at 2600 and runs 11.50's just dropping pressure in the tires and adjusting the shocks I would be happy.
As far as hooking it goes I have some Dvorak springs. I think those along with strange double adjustables on all 4 corners will fill the bill.

Nss Guy I like them all. The 63 330 Dodge is my favorite. But a black 63 savoy with Alibaster and black interior will have to do.

Rather have a 64
The Dovark springs should be good for mid to low 10"
64's are cool but 63's rule ! Just ask her. Ron

I like 'em both. My dad did the styling renderings for both at Chrysler. Very proud of both his designs. He did the triangle Dodge emblem as well. Me, I'm trying to go low nines with the 64 and look stock. I already have a 11.0 street car, even if it is a Volare. Doug
Very cool! definitely something to be proud of.
I'd say gimme the look of an 11.50 car, limited equipment, no bar and the 9.50 slip. Love sleepers and hell, sketchy can be fun.
