1962 Max Wedge

[G HETHERINGTON]

In the first year of production, did the 413 Max Wedge cars get any sort of factory warranty coverage? I know that the later 426 had a decal that disclaimed any warranty, but I have not seen anything similar for the 413 cars. Every other performance car I have owned that had some warranty restriction or denial, had it disclosed on the window sticker. I don't see that on my early Max Wedge car (June '62). I have been told both ways but have yet to see any documentation to support any conclusion. Thanks in advance for any info.

They did. They had regular factory warranty in 1962. My father bought an original 13.5 to 1 compression savoy from Dick Green Plymouth in 1962. Spun the bearings multiple times in first 12 months and dealership repaired. after that he was on his own! 383 replaced the wedge, I was born and car was sold. This is our tribute to that car.

We haven't even seen your Maxi and you've been on here since last November. Not even a Welcome Wagon post! What gives?

I just got the car on Saturday! I have been on the forum looking one. The car is black, exactly like the one shown above, except it is a Fury, bone stock, with original type exhaust with the cut-outs.

Thanks for the information. You confirm my suspicions about the 62 vs later cars.
