Good morning. I'm Mike in upstate New York and I raced a 62 Dodge Dart 440 Convertible 413 Max Wedge (1 0f 10 built) for Chrysler from 62-64 at Fonda, S. Glens Falls, and the Long Island tracks. The clock has continued to tick, and in May I'll be 80 - 60 years will have passed since first owning my 62. In order to celebrate that birthday, I recently purchased a medium blue (DD-1) 63 Polara 500 convertible with the 426 Max Wedge engine (1 of 15 built). The car was sold new at Farmingdale Garage, Inc. on Long Island, NY around February, 1963. Is there anyone out there who remembers the car? I believe it was raced on Long Island and then went to Florida. If you have any information about this contact me here. Thank you and have a wonderful day! Mike

Welcome to the site. One of 10 and one of 15, it looks like you like really rare cars. Keep up the good work.
 
Great looking car, love the color combo along with the fact that it's a Max Wedge
 
Welcome to FBBO from Ontario, Mike. Beautiful 1963 Max Wedge convertible!
 
Hello Mike, welcome!! Great story. :)
Did you keep any pictures of your original '62 Dart?

Mike you sure have had your share of real and rare max wedge cars and still a kid at hart soon to be 80 years young congrats on a great score of a car its a real beauty
 
Awesome car. No other platform than 62-64 have I had a total 180 in appreciation. I putt my GTX to a local show (about 100 cars) And there was a 63 426 Max Wedge car there. (I guess stage II) I spent most my time on that car. Even though I was the only GTX. And a couple of folks had some questions. I was polite of course. But in my mind? "Blah Blah! '69 GTX 440 4-speed. But how well do those Max Wedge carbs stay tune?" Lol.
