The MAX WEDGE stopped  the end of Jan 1964 FeB started the production of the
HEMI. The STREET wedge was still made and  used in 1965. No 1965 car had a
MAX WEDGE from the Factory. Period. I always get into debates at the shows
with people who have bought cars and they swear that thats the way that they
came from the factory. They say that the guy that sold them the car said it
was original. Ya want to buy the Brooklyn bridge. Do the home work before
you buy.. I usually have some of my referance books with me at the shows and
try to enlighten these souls but then some still don't believe. And yes
their were some people who got Hemis instead of max wedges. if there car was
ordered after a certain date to have a max wedge it came through with a
Hemi. I believe it was Feb 1 1964. and the tag on the car will show that

This has been debated widely on this list and there was one person who
swears a friend of his actually ordered and received a max wedge '65.
I've seen nothing that documents their existence.  Also, the Race Hemi
replaced, not supplemented,  the Max Wedge towards the end of the model
run in '64.  I've heard stories of poor saps who actually had a their
'64 car sent to them with a race hemi equipped instead of the Max Wedge
car they had ordered - personally, I'd never want to receive a new
engine type the first year it was made - let some other sucker work out
the bugs :>) .

them as soon as I can figure out how, none of the hooters girls though.
