No - it's a 426 wedge, a street wedge, but not a "street" wedge (aka 
hi-perf), according to the numbers given.

ab      de       i          x         z
80      35        3         9         2

body          trim            paint       s.o.number
w42            p4r               bb1       40608106



SO NUMBER
406 08106 where "406" is the scheduled build date,  Thursday, 06 April 1965

BODY : W42
W - Dodge Coronet
4 - 500
2 - 2-door hardtop

TRIM : P4R
P - Style - Bucket seats
4 - Material - Vinyl
R - Colour - Red

PAINT : BB1
B - Roof colour - Black
B - Body colour - Black
1 - Style - Monotone

AB = Engine : 80 : 426-cid V8, 10.3:1 c/r, 365hp

D = Transmission : 363 : 4-speed, floor shift
E = Heater : 405 : Heater/defroster
I = Power Equipment : 3
X = Interior : 439 : Console
Z = ?? : 2

If you wanted a 426 with high compression and lots of power, you got a hemi 
426 in 1965, not a wedge 426.
