True Story

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No tech here- just a heartach story. A long time friend ( Verlin) was out 
today looking at my 64 Dodge project  and we got to reminising.  I know this 
is all true.  Back in 1963-64 a local guy here raced in late modle stock 
cars. us younger guys just idolized him!  He raced against some of the 
greatest names in racing, and was a good driver but he had to be 
conservitive because he had no sponsors.  I knew it was a 426 wedge. He set 
the car up as a 1963 Plymouth and then changed the front sheetmetal to 1964. 
What I did not remember until today that the engine was a Max Wedge Stage 
III with a 4 speed.  Here is the heartache:  When the car retired it was all 
beat up and the engine needed overhauled.  Verlin bought that car and 
overhauled the engine- buying parts from the local parts store!!! He also 
bought a 1964 Plymouth 2 door sedan with 318 K frame. Said that body and 
interior was VERY good . This was about 1969  with the muscle car rage and 
no one around here paid any attention to the old Max wedge warriors.  He 
sold  the engine to one guy not from here and sold the body to someone else. 
Sold them both for little of nothing to buy a Dodge Dart 340 Duster.  Think 
maybe he has been kicking himself in the butt  since 
then?????................................MO
