Watch and love both Dead Dodge Garage and Rocket Restorations. Thanks guys. My dad had the 1963 Polara 500 383 Four Barrel and he also had the 1964 Polara 500 383 four barrel. I remember them quite well they both ran pretty hard.
Awesome car - surprised this is your first in the flesh max sighting. There are a number of them here in the NE; maybe not HC cars, but they are around. Old guy story: I grew up a block away from the local Dodge dealer (‘Dodge since 1918” and still being sold out of the same building) and eight year old me spotted out in front the first brand new car that stole my heart - a red ‘62 Polara 500 2 door. Been MoPar or NoCar ever since. Hope to see you test drive this one
I was at a car show in Michigan and saw 2 330 max wedge cars just like that one was a convertible and one was a hardtop both were in the same condition as the one in the video.
Super rare and super cool car! 13.5:1 compression! Dang. On the sign board....you'd think that someone who does those things for a living would have left the apostrophes out of the word "cars". Like several times. Oh well. Good stuff, Jamie. Thanks for bringing us this awesome Mopar. Which I can't believe has a 3-speed manual! Crazy!
In 1967, my senior year of HS, I took my hard earned life savings of $1500 and bough a 64 Plymouth Belvedere with a 426 Max Wedge. Blue 2 door hardtop, with the big iron 4 speed, Doug headers through the fender wells, Lakewood blow up proof bellhousing. Previous owner had turned high 11's at Fremont (Calif.) drag strip. It was FAST! It got BAD mileage on Custom Supreme 103 octane gas that cost a whopping 39.9 per gallon. Didn't care! A few months later, one January morning it was quite cold, and as you noted these engines are very cold blooded anyway, as it fired up it back or mis fired and blew a con rod right out the side of the block! I almost cried. That was the end of that engine in that car. I bought a HiPo 383 out a 63 Dodge for $250, dropped that in, and still ate Chevies for dinner! Kept all the parts and pieces of the Max Wedge, and sold to a collector in about 73 or 74 for $2500. Happy days.
I'm not a Mopar guy but I still respect and enjoy the history, performance and your passion towards these cars. Okay, after hearing the engine run I like Mopar's now.
Good Day. Absolutely Stunning! I've loved these cars & engines since they were new and I was a kid of 11. Wonderful times for cars and they just kept getting better. I'm an old MOPAR Guy. three 440 magnum RT's, a 383, a 340 and lastly a 318. This car and video is wonderful. You've done well. Thank You. Memories
This takes me back to my high school days, the early '60s Chrysler Corp products were somewhat homely compared to Ford and Chevy and thought of as little old lady cars (Little Old lady From Pasadena), that all changed during the mid '60s, and now in my old age those 'little old lady cars' are some of my favorites. This '63 is the/a transition piece between the early and mid '60s and is about as cool as a car can be... The mid '60s was one of the most magical/exciting time periods in our country's history; cars, music stars, politics, it had it all, so many great memories.
Watching from the State of Rhode Island-couldn't make it past the first 10 min for fear of drowning in my own drool-not to mention that it left my brain with a compression ratio of 13.5 to 1-but did catapult my enthusiasm from 0-60 in a mere 4.5 sec.
When I was a kid........ Reedmans in Langhorne, Pa. hard pair of these brand new, parked on lot right next to Highway 1. They were sold WITHOUT a power train warranty. The hoods had palm print depressions just from people opening and closing. We all had to look at the Star Attraction. What a car!!!
Very rare car, thanks for sharing. The Borg Warner T85 was used by many makes during the 50's and 60's. Often times with an electric overdrive, not really designed for drag racing. Looking forward to the test drive. Cheers! 😎👍🏎🏁🏁
Chrysler did not use the T85 early OD trans were mopar with B/W (pat) OD The big 3 speed our 413 wedge came with was all Mopar with torque tube drive like Nash and Buick we had to double key the axle hubs even with the then street tire rule The one year only T10 was "borrowed" from the legal 383 spec but would not hold up with the Ramcharger we went Torqueflyte If you know of any literature showing T85 OD let me know ican't remember them even in pickups (that' FORD) REMIND ME
@@jmflournoy386 I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Mopar did not use the OD but did use the T85 for a couple of years until they came out with the A833. I was just commenting on the fact that the T85 was used by many makes during the 50's and 60's. The 727 was more popular in racing applications for good reason. Cheers! 😎👋🏎🏁🏁
@@countswing284 I had been working at a Nash then AMC dealer we had a 57 327 Rebel with the T85 0D then stuck a chevy 4 speed into it before we got caught. Then a 4 speed Hydrostick till we got caught as 56 was the last year for the Cast Iron Hydro But I was crew on a 413 Wedge car run by a local gas station I developed a retard for top end. Gas was not good enough Now on the 13:1 heavy pistons. Pulling the heads Gene Ohly at Evans Speed equipt (RIP) and I found ugly burn patterns on the pistons We cut fire slots in the pistons which gave a triangle shaped burn on the intake side So we cut down the dome and cut the deck to get quench but found it ran best with the domes radiused Quench allowed full advance but we claimed our piston mod was the key and said NOTHING about the deck clerance We used the Stainless Shim Truck gaskets
What an incredible car! Beautifully restored! Pretty cool its a three speed manual too. I'd love to take that for a rip with those deep gears. I bet it scoots!
Super-Nice Video. Many Thanks For Sharing It Here. The Detailed Specifications Presented Are Educational And Interesting, But It's Also Lots Of Fun Imagining The Countless Times On By-Passes, And City Streets, That Would-Be Challengers Rolled Out Beside This Thing To Give It A Try, And Got Instantly Vaporised 🙂. "Here's To The Sunny Slopes Of Long Ago" 🥃🥃.
The sound of that engine brings back memories (and smiles.) You can hear that 13.5:1 compression and that lumpy cam through those open cutouts. That is the sound of my youth (yes I am that old.) Modern cars may be more powerful and faster but they don't sound like that.
Wow! That’s quite the find. I would imagine trying to get that car to hook up with those tires is laughable. My Dad had a new 1963 Plymouth 2 door sedan. It came with a 313 c.i. engine with a 2 barrel carb rated at 225 h.p. if memory serves me. With a stock 2:76 diff gear I ran a blistering 16.73 sec 1/4 mile @82 m.p.h. It had the 3 speed torqueflite push button transmission. I had a lot of fun with that car. It was Hunter Green up in Ontario Canada.
Being fond of the 63/64 Darts I am also a fan of the 63 330. I was surprised on dyno test their wasn't a huge difference in HP Max wedge exhaust vs headers didn't have a much difference. Beautiful bad ass car!
Many of those cars and their siblings were on the road when I was a boy. Whenever I saw them, I associated the unusual styling as a hot rod, as many of them were.
Wow this is an amazing car my buddy and I were chuckling saying yeah that's not worth much money lol Jamie your living the dream buddy working for Tom and him having customers like this where you get to show off your skills to people who own cars like this. And also in front of idk how many subscribers as well your gonna be a household name before long buddy .. lol I'm happy for you it's nice to see a man become successful thru hard work .. well a few good friends helps too lol I've been a subscriber since well a good while and enjoy every video and I'm not alone I'm sure you just have a certain amount of humor mixed with knowledge that works is all I can figure this car being so rare and probably one of the last on the planet is a real treat to even see in a TH-cam video and to see it w the air cleaners off and then hear it uncorked geez you won't see that anywhere else for real .. nice job brah
One sweet car from the early 60s........... and one sweet collection going on there. Great to see a cameo from Tom 😀 Need an in depth video on the LeBaron........ 😆
Those were some really bad ass cars in their day. Everyone remembers the "Little Old Lady From Pasadena". That would be someone's granny with a lead foot and a Super Stock Dodge, very similar to this one, except probably a 1964 since the song came out that year. Any car that gets a song in its honor is a cool, and usually very fast car.
That's the car we used to push out of the garage and coast it to the bottom of the hill and go race it every weekend in the summer time in the late 80's
Thank you for sharing that video, and wow does that bring back some memories. Not that I ever saw a real one of those except in car magazines. But,,big butt,,, my buddy has a 64 imperial with the 413 and cross Intake and dual 4,, I always wondered if engine machine shop work to increase the bore and also compression might make a feaux version of the car your showing,, although a much more street version and a lot less valuable to insurance and replacement. The 64 Max wedge 330 race version is very rare and valuable, I’d be concerned when street driving it. I had a 65 Plymouth SAVOY the same blue as the car in the video, 3 on the tree 6 cyl.
Great video. Most of the modern community has no idea these cars exist. Sure, most have heard of a GTO, but a Ramcharger Dodge wasn't that the SUV. That's the mastic of these they totally don't look like a racer!
Back in the day, fast cars that looked like grocery getters were known as "sleepers". Nearly all high performance MoPars up until the '67 model year came from the factory in sleeper trim. 1967 was the first year for the R/T and GTX. 1968 was the first year for the Road Runner and Super Bee, and those could be ordered in sleeper trim.
Love the color, my late aunt had a ugly green 63 plain Jane commuter version. Was too young to remember much but the front end and dash were unforgettable. Funny how in 2024 I love this design but everyone including me hated it way back.
The two Carter AFB's were the largest AFB's available at the time, Chrysler tried them on the Race Hemi and found that they were smaller than ideal for the Hemi, so the Race Hemi got the Holley carbs.
I used to think those 330's were uttbugly and a half... Though not nearly as gag inducing as the 62 model, when Exner must have discovered LSD! I don't know if it's just the fact that I've come to appreciate the rarity and importance of these 63 max wedge cars, but for some reason I now see the beauty in Engle's design.
@DeadDodgeGarage Yes, the front of the '65 Coronet is really appealing, but Iv'e always thought the rear looks a bit boxy and not the best , but I'd have one , and be happy for sure .
Watch and love both Dead Dodge Garage and Rocket Restorations. Thanks guys. My dad had the 1963 Polara 500 383 Four Barrel and he also had the 1964 Polara 500 383 four barrel. I remember them quite well they both ran pretty hard.

Me too…

Thank you, Jamie, for saying you like the Plymouth a bit better. My Fury appreciates that.
👍😁
The front end styling of the '63 Plymouth is downright cool!
@@phillipcramer7936 Yes it is.
When I was a kid, my uncle had a ‘64 Fury. Gorgeous car!

That’s excellent news. Haha.
This video is awesome on the big screen in the living room. ❤
Those are the hub caps my Fury came with from the factory and she still has them. Nothing else will do.
Simplistic beauty at its finest. Excellent !
I can’t say I’m in love with that body style but god damn what a color! I bet it’s a hoot and a half to drive 👍
What a totally cool car Jamie literally a piece of mopar history and I love it
Now we’re talking !! 426 Max Wedge is epic and I’ve always been a B-body guy. They work so well together 😁

I had a new '63 440 hardtop with the 383HP and the one-year-only Borg-Warner T-10 close-ratio aluminum four speed. Fun times!
Sweet. Another cool old mopar were the 413 with the long cross rams.

Started off a 68-74 Mopar guy, But then bought a ‘63 Belvedere Post. Definitely love the Factory Race Car heritage that proceeded the Muscle Cars.
Me too!
Those were great cars, but you'd never know it- simply not popular with the New Car Buyer- 4dr post w/318/904 ( 22 24 mpg highway)

Sure is a beautiful car! Thanks for showing it to us!
I’ve always wanted one of these. Most people think they’re butt ugly but not me. I’ll take one with the Torqueflite myself. What a sleeper!
JAMIE, just remember that when you uncap your exhaust, no one can hear you scream
😂
The 62 and 63 are my favorite thanks for the video
That car has been a dream car of mine since I was a kid and seen my first one in a Mopar Magazine and ever since always wanted one

Are you forgetting the choke? I always liked the look of the cross-ram!
I know how it works. Haha.
He’s got some great cars. In my opinion this 63 Dodge is at the top of the list.
My father had exhaust cutouts installed on his 69 Road Runner. He called them "DUMPS"

I remember the first 62 dodge 413 pulling into the track, my all time fav is the 65 A990 dodge and Plymouth.
That cross ram intake is bad ass!
that was actually a nice little Lebba Ron at the end - I bet the couches in that car are really comfy!
That's the car we used to push out of the garage and coast it to the bottom of the hill and go race it every weekend in the summer time in the late 80's
OMG when you first fired it I thought it was a radial engine that thing is awesome
I was JUST thinking: "did they black out the radiator support behind the grille back then???"
And, BAM, you hit us with the same question.
My sis had a 63 plymouth belvedere 426 wedge, 2 fours, three speed manual on the floor. A real tire burner and a hoot to drive.
Thanks heaps guys loved it well done
Max Wedge B bodies are just so cool. Maybe not pretty, but off the scale awesome.
Thank you for sharing that video, and wow does that bring back some memories. Not that I ever saw a real one of those except in car magazines. But,,big butt,,, my buddy has a 64 imperial with the 413 and cross Intake and dual 4,,

The 64 Max wedge 330 race version is very rare and valuable, I’d be concerned when street driving it.
I had a 65 Plymouth SAVOY the same blue as the car in the video, 3 on the tree 6 cyl.
My dad bought this exact car in 1968 when i was 16, i did a lot of street racing in Frederick, MD, down market st, those were the days

Great job Jamie
Awesome. Thanks for the video.
Wow. Just wow!
What an awesome sounding car
Outstanding
Holy Grail of Mopar's In My opinion, great video Jamie, beautiful car.
Thank you! It really is.
I love that era of B body 2 door sedans, favorites are '65 Plymouth, and '64 Dodge. The Sports roof pillarless one's are definitely cool as well.
I think my favorite is actually the ‘65 Coronet. I do really like the ‘63 Plymouth as well. There is one locally I’ve seen a couple times.
@DeadDodgeGarage Yes, the front of the '65 Coronet is really appealing, but Iv'e always thought the rear looks a bit boxy and not the best , but I'd have one , and be happy for sure .
This video is exciting, might actually get out there and start wrenching on my 63 again. Sure wish body parts were more plentiful.
Yeah… those one year designs are tough.
What an awesome ride.
My first car was a 63 Polara hardtop, basically the same as the 330, only without the post.
