What's it Worth 65 Sport Fury 426 Max Wedge

[RR Fan Dan]

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

3.91 gears. He said carbs are giving him some trouble. Plan on rebuilding carbs.

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. Not easy car to sell.

65 C body sport fury’s had a max wedge option. The fender tag indicates it wasn’t a max wedge. Says it was a 318 car.

True

Early heads are 4 bolt. The 518 heads are 6 bolt, updated, and more common

Don't get confused with the MAX WEDGE propaganda. 413 WEDGE or STREET WEDGE is usually what people are talking about when they throw in the cool word " max"

No 1965 Max Wedge. Just 426 Street Wedge or called on air cleaner and advertising as Super Commando.

It's an original 318 car with the performance mods added. That will effect value for sure.

Okay. Understand. Street wedge is more like it. But Delta V sent me this. I believe it may be a 440. Can you put a cross ram on a 440? This looks like the previous owner.

All good info. I was just thinking about all the Mopars I see for sale out there for $25k with crap paint and shoddy interiors, and thought that if this one looks as good in person as the pics, it could bring another $10-15k. I really like (not love) both the exterior and interior.

Are you buying this @RR Fan Dan ?

Looks good! Yes the whole max wedge package bolts to a 440. I ran a 383 with max heads on it. Alot more custom work to that though.

Yes I’m considering. That’s why I threw it out there to you guys.

So what does everyone think it’s worth after all this conversation?

 

[hunt2elk]

I like it and would think 25K would be a decent buy.

Would you sell it for 25k? I’m thinking that’s a steal.

 

[71RRHI]

After reading all the posts, I'm still at 25k if it runs, drives and is as solid as it looks

 

[SlingLow]

If I'm I buyer I like $25k. I wouldn't expect someone to sell it for that. That being said, it's impossible to judge body and paint, chrome and brightwork, and interior details without inspecting it.

It’s a #2 car with a 440 max wedge package. I was thinking closer to 30-35k. I don’t think I could ever find a car like this for 25k.

Did you see the number of trophies? It gets a trophy every time it goes to a show. That tells me the paint and chrome are right.

 

[RR Fan Dan]

I’m shooting for $30k. Is that reasonable?

Or - photoshop.

I kid, I kid.

Will you get a chance to see it in person first?

I’m working on that
