History/Breakdown: 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury 426 Max Wedge
This 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury was about as close to a drag-ready race car as you could buy from a dealer in ’63. Besides its no-nonsense appearance, this car came equipped with the 426 Max Wedge Super Stock V8, a powerful competition engine boasting 11.1:1 compression and an advertised 415 HP at 5600 RPM. The dual-quad “short ram” intake, high-lift cam, free flowing exhaust, manual trans, Sure Grip differential, and a lack of accessories helped these cars stack up records in Super Stock drag racing. This one is from the Brothers Collection.

Absolutely stunning!Nancy and Bob Dunbar with their #original owner 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge in their Beachfield neighborhood. When Pontiac brought out its first GTO in 1964, it was a special edition of the Tempest, and the initials stood for Grand Tempest Option. Project Manager John DeLorean - of DeLorean auto fame - dictated that the Judge would always be this color orange, which was first patented by #Chevrolet and called #PontiacGTOJudge #CarouselRed #HuggerOrange #BobDunbar #GrandTempestOption #GeneralMotors

Not sure why I've seen red, white and blue Judges if this story is true though. In the early '90s, I had a '66 GTO frankenstein LeMans creation with a 400 Chevy engine in it. Closest I ever got...

Here you go Dennis Higdon, this looks like our old 63 Plymouth. I would love to have it now !!!
A friend of mine his first car was a 66? or 67? Sport Fury ( can’t remember the year) with a big block. Didn’t know him then and back in the day there were so many Camaros, Cheveles, El Caminos, Chargers, Dusters , Mousestangs and Vettes even a light green AMX with steamroller BFGs on the back and enough power to lift the front wheels off the ground about 1 or 2 inches.driving around this small town I probably wouldn’t have noticed his vehicle. You have a picture of a 67 Plymouth Sport Fury in there somewhere?
Cool sleeper.
yes they did
very very awesome
Love of my life
Just a little tweeking would produce well over 500 h.p.

65 Sport Fury 426 wedge. Awesome car.
I had a ’63 Max Wedge with a Torqueflight back in the day. On a small tire it was running real low 12’s. After it was around for awhile it was hard to get any locals that wanted to street race it.
same … 4 speed
Denny Dubicz back at my hometown a dude had 69 dart with 426 hemi,dual quads,4 speed,at the “drag strip” he would put a $100 on top of the passenger side dash,if rode with him you could try to grab while going down the 1/4…nobody could claim it from so much torque/g forces put you back in the seat.
I had a couple 66’s back in the day. Nice cars.
They were tough but my 409 Chevrolet Impala could hold its own with them !!!
but they say 64 GTO was the first muscle car
