richards  MAX WEDGE,  expired in april 1963. it was not the HEMI, it did not
come out till the next year. deal with it there was no Hemi it 1963. the
year that all the Hemi's won was 1964. production ended on the MAX WEDGE in
JAN of 1964. the Hemi started in FEb of 1964. thats it thats the way it was
I have ALL the inter office  letters and the service bullitins from mother
mopar. as well as the factory pics and pics of Petty at the races with the
Hemi. for press releases. anyone trying to sell a 63 and leading you to
believe it may have been a Hemi is only trying to get your money. even the
max wedge cars all had unique features on them that will tell you that it is
truely a max wedge car.max wedge 1963,  max wedge  1964 till Jan 1964 then
Hemi FEb 1964 and after. body date  codes and eng date  codes should all
reflect that   Dave O

I got out my 63 Daytona 500 program to make sure I
was there.  It appears that I was.  The race was delayed
about 2 hours by rain and then the temp. dropped into
the 50's and the wind picked up to 30 MPH, so my
brain may still be affected by that, or other stuff.

As I remember it, Richard's Hemi expired about lap 150
or so.  I was rooting for him so that sticks with me.   I could
be off on that because of a few Molson's and Bud's over the
years since.  That day, April 24, 1963, was the day that I
decided that Mopar B bodies were the thing to have and I
was going to get one.  Then Mom had a 65 Coronet 383/727
when I got me drivers license in 1969.  YeeHa!

As near as I can recall, the 63 Daytona 500 was the first
"gas mileage race."  Fred Lorenzen had it won, but ran out
of  gas about lap 193 and had to stop.  Ned Jarret took
the lead but had to stop on lap 197 for gas.  A Sportsman
racer named Tiny Lund from Cross, SC gambled on fuel
and won the race.  He was driving a car that was built for
a big name driver who was injured in a preliminary race.
Marvin Panch may be it, but I'm not sure.  Those clowns
were all driving Phurds, so a gas mileage race is all that
they could have won.
