An original, body off restored 426/425 (13.5. to 1 Compression Ratio) Plymouth Savoy. This Max Wedge Super Stocker was built on 11/14/62 at the Lunch Road Assembly Plant.  Shipped on 11/23/62 to Ridge Chrysler Plymouth in Batesburg, South Carolina.  Purchased by Sylvester Hall and Lyndsey Cook of Batesburg, who immediately started running it at Mid Carolina Dragway.  This Super Stock Savoy even beat “Dyno” Don Nicholson at a local super stock event in the 60’s.

 

This car became part of the Jim Welch collection in the early 90’s.  Jim had Jim Balow of Muscle Car Restorations do a full rotisserie restoration on the car, and Barker Automotive rebuilt the Max Wedge motor (426/425 Hp 13.5 to 1 high compression).  Wilson Racing Transmission rebuilt the original Max Wedge transmission.  Everything is new, nos, or rebuilt to new.  This is definitely a museum quality piece for show or go…….maybe a handful survived

 

Details of the car include:

 

            1 of 177 426/425 Hp High Compression Savoy Automatics

 

            1 of 50 Max Wedge Copper Metallic Savoys (RR1)

 

            Listed in Darrel Davis’ 1963 Max Wedge Book (Vin 3131129725)

 

            1 of 23 remaining Savoys per Darrel Davis current records

 

Engine compartment photos used in Jim Schilds Maximum Performance Authenticity Guide (Pages 32, 36, 39, 40 and 47)

 

Chrysler Historical and Galen Govier paperwork

 

Vin and SO numbers all correct with original fender tag

 

Date Code correct Max Wedge Block

 

Date Code correct carburetors, heads, intake and exhaust

Radio and Heater Delete

 

Car restored to it’s delivery day condition.  One of the best examples of a 426 Max Wedge factory super stocker.  Dog dish hubcaps, radio and heater delete, bench seat, and push button transmission.  One of the few 13.5 to 1 motors to be produced by Detroit……know of any others?

 

January 1963 issue of HOT ROD magazine tested a new Max Wedge and turned a 12.69 at 111 mph.  December 1997 Car Craft magazine picked a 1963 Plymouth Super Stock Max Wedge as one of the Top 10 Musclecars of all time.  The ONLY reason I am selling this is due to building a new home!

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

The Plymouth Superbird is one of those classic American cars from the muscle car era that has captured the imagination of all sorts of automotive enthusiasts long after its presence on roads and race tracks wore away. It's easy to see why. Where else but in the Swingin' Sixties and Seventies would a car leave the factory with an aerodynamics package that included a pointy beak and a rear spoiler that sat several feet above the rear deck?
The example you see above, which was born in 1970, is one of the finest Superbirds we've ever seen. Combine its complete restoration with its original 426 Hemi engine, and it's no surprise that it managed to bring in a cool half million dollars (plus 10 percent in fees) at Barrett-Jackson. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above, and scroll down below for the official auction description.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
