The Real Deal !!!!!

 

Here is the business end of two I owned. Still have the 426 MAX Wedge Nascar manifolded car. The other grey one was a 63 post car into which i installed a 68 warmed over street hemi. If you raced Cayuga in the 70s you have seen it run.

Hey Joel, I just stumbled on this site and had to join. Thanks for starting this thread. It does my heart good.

Hello to you too Wally.

 

Here's a cool little article and picture I found on HOT ROD's website:

Mandella's '63 Max Wedge Wagon
Mike Volz of Olympia, Washington, made the discovery of a lifetime by following leads about "some old Mopar station wagon race car." The mystery wagon turned out to be one of only three factory-built Max Wedge station wagons sold in 1963 (two Plymouths, one Dodge). Amazingly, the plus-size body style was what spooked everybody else away. Originally equipped with a low-compression 11.0:1 426 Max Wedge, push****on 727 TorqueFlite, AM radio, heater, and steel front end, this six-p***enger Belvedere long-roof was originally sold new by the legendary Milne Brothers Chrysler-Plymouth of Pasadena, California, to a young racer by the name of Ron Mandella. Though Ron recently p***ed away, his brother Phil Mandella-proprietor of PM Race Cars-says Ron campaigned it extensively in NHRA A/SA compe***ion, winning the Indy Nationals in 1964 with a 12.99/108.04 run (he runner-upped there in 1963). When he wasn't chasing national gold, Phil tells us Ron often drove the cross-rammed beast on the street: "He'd be lined up against Dyno Don's 409 Chevy on Colorado Boulevard or Rivergrade Road, then he'd deliver flowers for my parents' flower shop with it the next morning." Today the car is headed for a total restoration back to the way it was when Ron Mandella raced it in the early '60s, complete with hand-brushed lettering, chrome reverse rims, and fenderwell headers. -Steve Magnante

 

Here's my dad's 426 Max Wedge powered Austin Healy that he built in the late 60's. It ran in the 9's.
