1963 Plymouth Fury, 426 max wedge engine

I have been researching this car for a while and was informed by Galen Govier’s assistant (Diana) during a recent conversation that the vin number indicated it to be a Max Wedge Fury, vin 3331xxxxxx.

But after additional research I have determined that my 1963 Fury is not an original 426 Max Wedge car. I had convinced myself the car was a true survivor (wishful thinking). I bought the car without any documentation and it was sold as is (not as a Max Wedge). I was hopeful that it was a Max Wedge Plymouth but understood it may not be. Although it shares most of the same equipment it appears the fender tag is missing the 9 below the A to indicate it to be a Max Wedge.

I purchased the car for enjoyment/resale and am still extremely pleased with it.

Thanks Jerry!

As an original Max Wedge car or as clone variety, the Plymouth is a very beautiful Mopar!
