Were there any more early Max-Wedge's running in those classes, could you dig up some of those racers names and their cars if it's not to much trouble.

Hemi Moose,

Not from Indy 1968,,,
But from the 1966 NHRA Winternationals,,

Tom Crutchfield,,,,,,1963 Dodge Model #330 Max-Wedge
B/SA (class weight break 8.70 - 9.59)

A very under-rated drag racer,,
1968 Indy,,,,D/SA Class Winner

Lynda Pleva-Phillips from Toronto, Canada
1967 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD (Fastback)
427/410 HP
wt/hp = 9.59

The 3932 lb. 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD (Fastback) gave it just enough weight with the 427/410 HP,
to get classed on the right side of D/SA.

Paul Ceasrine · 08-18-2011, 07:03 PM

Moose,,,,,,

Wrong thread,,,,,,,but since you asked,
Here is an original 1963 Max-Wedge Plymouth Station Wagon

Supposedly 1 of 3 built,

Hemi Moose · 08-20-2011, 05:40 PM

Thanks Paul C for searching for that info on those Max-Wedge wagons, but I do have another question...do you think the Drag'n Wag'n is the ex-Lawman wagon, (from the magazine cover) or are they two different cars, anyone.
