Max has a 742 with 4.11s and I have a '64 on the shelf with a 741 with 3.55s in it just in case.

@matthon I had a friend who raced Maxes back in the day. He told me they never broke a Ball & Trunnion! And yes my Max still has the B & T and the tapered axles! They are part of his personality.

Remember Rule #1: Happy Wife happy life! All of my late Wife's cars were sticks. She knew how to drive a stick before I knew how to drive! The last 2 she bought, she had to fight with the salesman to get one!

I also lived near the car. I never stopped to talk to him but I would drive by to make sure the car was still there. Every so often, on a Saturday afternoon, he would light it off! And you knew.......

Nuthin' like a big block 4 speed A-Body! 40 years ago I drove one once and that's all it took.

Yeah, Uncle Lee lost me when he decided to scrap the big block tooling! Then they went to FWD only passenger cars. This is when nearly ALL police departments and state police had fleets of RWD Plymouths! So they had to go to Caprices and Crown Vics. I've become a van guy. You can fit more...

Old wrestling T-Shirts are hot right now. I take my stuff to a silent auction. It runs for a month, when you bid, you write down your number and a bid and at the end of the month they notify you if you've won anything. They put out old wrestling shirts and they got bid way up. My father was...

Max doesn't like it below 50 degrees anyway so I don't! My friend was there and said it was a bit of a cluster. He said the spectators were allowed in the staging area and were crowding around the cars as they were doing burnouts!

When the original owner of Max put the fenderwells in, he cut the fuel line halfway, then put on a short rubber hose and some copper tubing and ran it up to the fuel pump and wire tied the copper tubing to the torsion bar!

@68original Because I have a Max Wedge and I can too! Then you add fenderwell headers! Nuthin' like the sweet sound of a 4 barrel carburetor exceptin' if you have TWO 4 barrel carburetors!

Dad's 2 friends were rebuilding a Continental 226, with parts from a marine engine, that had not been properly winterized, for his big old wooden boat. The engine they were rebuilding had come out of a Kaiser. And, yes, they spent 2 or 3 days trying to figure out why the cam timing wasn't right...

A friend who has since passed raced Maxes when they were new and told me they never broke a ball and trunnion!

Be Careful, A-Body and B-Body are different. The A-Body is shorter, I think.

Yes, that was it and it never influenced me that much that I needed a motorcycle. I did follow the Steve McQueen example when I launched my '59 Plymouth wagon over a steep hill and bounced it! And blew the oil pan out of it, they didn't show that in Bullet!

@65TerrorCuda I'd forgotten my bicycle mis-hap! It was the time of The Great Escape. I took the fenders off the bike. There was a spot in the driveway that I used as a small jump ramp. A friend was coming through the yard and I said "Watch This"! I jumped and watched the front wheel fall off...
