Not an original 426 car. Has fender tag and broadcast sheet. Interior is original except carpet. Gold paint is factory color. Black paint added.

I'd be wondering if the heads intake and block are true factory 426 MW pieces

Looks like a super solid car that would be fun to drive. I don't know what they sell for, but I would say 25k if it runs and drive as nice as it looks.

Not sure what heads, but the block and intake are true.

I have a video of it running but don’t know how to share. It must be as nice as it looks based on the trophies it has won.

I'm certainly not the price expert, but if that car was $25k, I'd buy it yesterday. I would think $35k-$40k could be more likely. It seems like most of the max wedge cars are in the 40s and up so it could be higher. I think the black makes that car and I love the overall package, although the scoop isn't my favorite. Thanks for sharing!

I’m not a fan of the scoop either but I can learn to live with it. I agree on no way on$25k, but they are not asking much more than that. I really like the gold interior and gear vendors OD.

We download them on YouTube then copy the link on here.

How much "Go" to go with all of that "Show"? That is, what is the quarter mile time and speed with his current setup?

I’ll try that.

I would say 14’s based on what you sent me.

Why is the guy selling it?

Does it overheat or run hot?

When was the transmission rebuilt or modified? How many miles ago?

Show the pictures to your local VA State Inspection guy:
He might not like the yellow headlights.
He might not like the window tint and he will ask you the tint rating. He will probably use a light meter on the tint when you bring it in anyway.
He might not like the exhaust system cutouts.
He might say the window stickers obscure vision.

All are easy enough to remedy, but all are added costs and time.

Looks clean, square, and overall nice. I like the gold.

Nice choice of wheels.

Opinions; and none of which matter if you like the car:
I don't like two-tone paint schemes.
The hood scoop doesn't bother me except for it being part of the two-tone paint scheme.
I don't like the checkerboard pattern on the quarter panels.

Doesn’t overheat. Guy says runs 180. Just took it to a show 200 miles away. No problems. 727 trans rebuilt wit gear vendors OD and he says 2800 stall. No state inspection here in Virginia for antique vehicles. Selling it to buy a 50’s Chevy (Victoria). So you can tell he’s not a Mopar guy. Bought it from previous owner 3 years ago. Previous owner did all the work. I like the checkerboard. Window stickers are coming off.

You have to lay eyes and hands on it before making an offer.

Should be at least a mid 12. You'd assume decent gears if it has a gear vendor

That’s next step. Judging reactions here first to see if it’s worth pursuing.

Not original Max Wedge car. No 1965 max wedge cars. No max wedge C-bodies.

The heads are not 4 bolt, so I think that means it doesn't have Max Wedge heads on it.

Question would be if it's an original 1965 426-S Super Commando 365 HP car? The vin and fender tag should show that.

The exterior is polarizing. Love it or hate it. $25K seems fair. Seems like some good parts: Gear Vendors, TTI headers, MW intake... Not easy car to sell.
