62-65 Superstock Mopars picture thread..

Back before Super Stocks got goofy oh I guess that was funny!

 

Charlie Lendrum’s ‘63 max wedge.

 

500 hardtop with a halfy console. Pretty upscale for a maxie. Wonder if its legit?

 

I wondered the same, a few MW cars were well optioned. Larry Barnett of Lexington, KY bought a new 63 Max Wedge Dosge from Lexington Dodge that was well equipped for both racing and comfort, he traded it for a new 65 Dart Charger 273 Hi-Po which he kept for around 50 years.
For the car in the pictures, it is listed as a 1963 Dodge Polara 500 Max Wedge Stage ll, automatic 3:91 posi tapered rear, real stage ll car in Darrell Davis Max Wedge registry , 1 of 5 11:1 compression Polara 500's made, Galen Govier and Chrysler paper work included, 52,000 original miles, west coast car no rust or rot, the car was raced on west coast in the 70's and 80's and featured in several magazines.

Wild! Thx for the info.

 

I think we're seeing a good demonstration of the "Hamtramck Buckle" on the front of the quarter panel of this car. Lots of tire, a sticky track, gobs of torque and MoPar's rear suspension on a unibody ch***is. A good hard launch could buckle the quarter panel sheet metal on these cars. Seem to recall hearing that this phenomenon only existed on the hardtop models. The sedans had a little extra body strength in this area.

Yes, the hardtop seemed to be the victims of it, the pictures Ive seen of Mr. Norms Grand Spalding car appeared to be one of the worst for it.
