I always thought so also but they made street versions as well unless the restoration market is pulling a fast one. I remember when they were racing those on the track and they were all sedans (no hardtops), heater delete (this one has a heater), battery in trunk, small buckets from a van, aluminum front fenders & bumper. I saw a 64 Dodge Polara 500 2 door hardtop that was equipped just like this Plymouth so I'm guessing that they made street versions of these. The ones they were racing had really radical cams and this one idles more like a high performance 440.
The steering gearbox is well known for wearing out and causing sloppy steering in those cars, even after adjusting the adjustment screws. They are shot by 80 or 90k miles.
That’s sweet. I’ve got two polara max wedge cars. 63&64. My 63 is 11-1 compression auto. I do have a spare 63 max wedge engine those rockers need adjusted badly. That’s way to noisy
Cars were so sexy back then style elegant you could spend the wk end tinkering with it just a lot of fun now days we get junk bells and whistles blinking lights cameras bumper falls off after 5 yrs have to sale a kidney just to have your car fixed cause you can't work on em yourself what a shame big money ruined the car business.
Beautiful car. I learned to drive on Dad's Fury with a 361 Commando. Thanks for sharing.
A thing of beauty for sure. It's always nice to see factory correct.
WOW! PRICELESS WORK OF ART!
How amazing to have such a horsepower to weight ratio.
Beautiful car 👍
Had one just like it!
Nice car!! I own a 1969 Fury III Not driven a 426. Drove a 427. My Fury a 383.
A friend of mine has a black 63 sport fury max wedge 3 spd standard trans. Hi comp 426. Beautiful cars. Could be twins.
I thought the Max Wedge cars had the battery installed in the trunk.
Beautiful vehicle and I would love to have one like it.

I thought by 1963 all the radios were transistor. It did warm up in about 4 seconds.
Beautiful car how much
Beautiful car. Too bad your cameraman kept covering up the mic.
What?
If that is an 11 to 1 motor, he was probably trying to cover the mic so you wouldn't hear all that spark knock going on.
Definitely done extremely nice! Not radio delete?
Nice
Battery is supposed to be in the trunk
Gold pentastar???
Oh..ok thats a manual steering, not familiar with those. The power steering gearboxes wear out quick.
Nice millisecond viewing of the hubcap. I could see it was chrome and that’s about it. If you’re going to show something, show it.

No power brakes... no power steering...
You need to go back to driving school, what was the yellow sign with kids, it’s a school crosswalk
Racing in a school zone, really
Thai was no Racing at all!
Squealing the tires on a school zone crossing? Not a great optic.
Heartless! Song by Heart, line about kicking it up in the school zone!
I don't see a school... it's a crosswalk. It could be the weekend when school is not in session. Don't be so judgmental.
If I'm not wrong hp was 415
