Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as an unrestored original with 40,169 original miles. The paint is dull throughout. There are several chips on the fenders. The driver's side quarter panel is nearly buffed through in areas, and the passenger's side door has several chips filled. The brightwork is dull and the grille is heavily scratched. The engine compartment is aged but not abused and the underbody is faded but well preserved. The interior is the real star. It shows little use and is well sorted. An original that has been preserved while being driven sparingly.
Market commentary
One of only five Polara Max Wedges in 1963 and a charming highly original car that failed to find an appropriate audience here in Indy. The 426 Max Wedge falls into a null zone in collecting, with attention directed at Hemis and 440s. Wonderful, powerful cars, 426 Max Wedges -- unless they were drag raced with success -- don't attract much attention.
