Re: A History Of The Max Wedge: 426 Cubic Inches of Race-Winning Muscle Car Madness For Less Than A Hemi

[<62-65-mail-list-club@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Rich. Your comment reminded me of a Mopar car show in the 1990s where an original 1962 Dart Max Wedge 
with the high compression 413 version showed up. When the Dart was simply heading down the lot to the show field's 
place to park it drew a crowd of curious Mopar fans. 'What is that beast making all that ferocious sound?"   :)
