Who can I get to verify a possible 1962 Dart 413 max wedge car ?
The VIN states that it is a V8 Dart 330 made in 1962. I was always told it was a max wedge car but how do I verify ? I have a pic of the data plate. I saw on another website that some one has list VIN numbers for these car.
Can anyone help ?

Thank you

Get underneath and see if there is a sign of an extra set of emergency brake cable brackets.Also firewall brake line is higher on passenger side to get heat from manifold away from line.

There is IIRC something about the brake master cylinder or its mounting that is different. It is a minor difference but it is a difference. Maybe someone can help out with this? Maybe it's the line placement mentioned above?

If the 4th digit in the VIN isn't a 2 it isn't a Max Wedge.

All of the visual clues can be duplicated, only the VIN will tell for sure. Find a Darrell Davis book.

I ordered one of his books and talked to him today. Hopefully with everyone's help we can solve this mystery.
