9 under the "A" is 426 MaxWedge, 50 Aluminium panel sets were made available a few months after the cars started leaving so 40 were fitted to new cars a the other 10 were offered to the buyers of the earlier cars. My 63 Plymouth Belvedere max wedge had the Ali front fitted by Milne Bro's so it is one of the ten

Under Engine all Max Wedge cars have a 9 which means Super Stock eng. Under CR which means comp ratio if it has a 9 then its a 13.5 comp eng. If its the 11.0 comp eng then that space is blank.Ron My car has NO 9 under CR and nothing under Alum but I have photos of it 1963 with Alum and SS II engine

- according to The Davis book your car was built without aluminum, is a low compression Maxie, auto trans, Coppertone paint body and roof. Looks like it was sold outside the USA. Being your car was built as late as it was it should be a Stage II - it would have the big carbs but still retaining the 4 bolt valve covers like the Stage I, would have had the cam with more lift, 7 blade clutch fan being the most noticeable external ques. Sounds like a neat piece you have down under.

According to a release bulletin any vehicle ordered on or after June 18 would get the new Stage II including any vehicle in que. Again according to the book only 72 were built with the Stage II and none were released with aluminum. As for pricing I do not know if that has changed - I'm betting Darrel knows or you can try to contact the main FCA phone number and they can tell you if there is a contact number. The museum was closed some time ago but it's my understanding a group of people still remain to handle these requests.

It was Dealer owned and raced by Milne Brothers Plymouth Pasadena, it was them that fitted the alum and maybe the SSII stuff. ?????
