thats a beautiful shot of your car Ron...

back in 66 my Dad traded his 63 Grand Pix for a 4dr hdtp 66 Chrysler Newport..was a great looking car and when I got my license in 67 I was driving it...as soon as I rounded the corner I would stop, get out and pull the air cleaner...WAAAAAAAA as that 383 would yelp..

well that wasnt what got me interested..it was the MaxWedge cars too!!always loved a blown HEMI powered 41 Willys...

my last year in High school I had a 64 Dart GT...loved it and raced it..some years later I had a 69 Dodge van with a 318 that I played with...

wasnt until the 63 Dodge MaxWedge that I got re-interested in Mopars..and then the 71 Duster...

the 63 is still with me and I have a feeling it will die with me...along with the 69 Z/28 Camaro...O..and my 65 GTO






Thank you for reply about my car. I really like your 63 Dodge a ton and cant wait to see it when you have it done.


Wow these are great stories that I love to hear. Never forget that my brother got me hooked on the then new 68 Roadrunner in 1968. I was 12 in 68 and already loved muscle cars as I remember that summer every Roadrunner and GTX my buddy and I saw we went right up to look at the hood emblem hoping to see them words "HEMI" on the hood ! And I got to tell you they were far and few as 99.9% said 383. I also remember seeing my first 69-1/2 440 six pk Runner sitting in a parking lot at the ocean beach near Dewey Beach Delaware. I already new all about the 6pk Runners and Bee's before I ever saw one. Course the more I learned about Max Wedge cars the more I said........why the heck did Mopar stock making Max Wedge heads for the wedge ? I already knew by 1970 when I was 14 that I was going to be a tech all my life and I got into Eastern Voc Tech here in Md to take the auto shop course 3 periods a day for 3 years. The rest is history. We need some pics of these early rides we had. Ron
