How would you feel about seeing this?

Every Street dude's Small Block Chevy had to have "4-Bolt Mains and Fuelie Heads" before the modern era of crate motors...

[Nitro Joe Jackson]

due to the increased gas prices you will see more SS & Stock racers using this kind of tow rig, lol

[Greg Barsamian]

You should have asked if it had a "Full race cam" in it!
LOL

Since you saw it in Arizona I'll share this little tidbit, A few years ago Dave Wren sold his Original lightweight Winter Nationals winning max wedge 63 Plymouth to a fellow in Arizona and the new owner enjoyed driving it to local car show's after he put exhaust on it.Now that SS/BA on the window was real, LOL

I got to speak to him and his wife, nice people wish i remembered their names. He said it has a John Shaul engine in it. sounded and smelled sweet. Said he has a 66 Bevedere it sleeps next to in garage, lol.
Also spoke to a lady w a 72 GS350 car that noone in her family wants to inherit, can you believe it. Said sh'll eventually sell to a neighbor. She commuted 19 years in it. nice driver and 30 footer but damn, its all original w 180,000 miles and trans was just rebuilt last year and new exhaust w flowmasters so it sounds as good as it looks. Some old timers do get it right. No I'm not that old yet 46, just respect those who are. Chris.

Sounds like you may have met Chris Baum ,he's from that area and has several original 426 cars that I've done restored pushbutton transmissions for.
He's the guy who won the last Pinks at Maple Grove in a Ramcharger car when the other guy rolled the beams when he staged .

Don Schilt from Long Island "Predator" Roadrunner won that one in Maple Grove in May 2010 against New Yorker Chris Baum's Belvedere when New Yorker Eddie Booke in his Camaro rolled on a single.

I had to wash the shoe polish off my fathers car to get it back in the driveway before my father noticed it gone and hide the trophy from NEW York National Speedway.

Some guys have 3/4 race cams in their powerplants. Great idea to save wear and tear on 4 valves and 4 valve springs.!!!!!!!!!!

The thing is a 1965 Plymouth Max Wedge "is" a true Super Stock Car, as the factory built "Super Stock" cars. All descriptions of Super Stock cars are those cars not a car with all of the modifications you see acceptable today and still be a Super Stock car.

I am guessing that the 65 Plymouth driven by Bill Jenkins at the 65 Winter Nationals was incorrectly classed as S/SA or the cars driven by Ronnie Sox SS/B, Bud Faubel. Why would you want to criticize the man about his car if you did not know all about the car. There are at least four of these "true" max wedge, cross ram cars, 4 speed cars and one with the lightweight front fenders, at shows and on the street in the Raleigh, North Carolina area. Kind of funny isn't it to day people still don't want to accept the factory MOPAR cars as "Super Stock" cars.

My cousin has a 70 Challenger with SS numbers on the window and a ton of stickers like a S/SS car would have. But it has a blower and dual quads sticking out of the hood. He loves to take it to car shows and tell people it's an ex racecar. What a joke, and what a piece of crap.

The last "MAX WEDGE" was built sometime around the end of March1964. The 64 Hemi drag cars were "formally" anounced around March the 9th 1964 even though they ran a single 4 Hemi steel Hard Top car at Daytona in NASCAR in Febuary 1964. The 65 Ply and Dodge was never avaliable as a Max wedge in any body style. Only as a 426 STREET wedge or smaller combos. It was just an over grown 383 with one AFB. The class designations and wt breaks changed between 1965 and 1968. The 65 cars were the top of the mountian cars in 1965. Thus S/SA (not SS/A) like Jenkins (Black Arrow) drove or S/S with a stick....All were Hemis and 2 dr post cars. The 68 cars were also the top of the heap for 68. NHRA had a SS/A (not S/SA) class that was never contested. None of the manufactures ever made a car to fit the SS/A class in 1968 thus the Hemi 'Cudas and Darts ran SS/B and SS/BA for that year then went into SS/A for 1969 when the original 1968 SS/A class was dropped due to no participation.
