'Max Wedge' Plymouth classic car races into Kansas City auction

If you're a classic car collector with a love of stock car racing and drag racing, then this 1962 Plymouth Savoy 2-Door Sedan could be for you.

The '62 Plymouth will auction in Kansas City, US, between March 29-31.

Beneath this classic car's hood is a Max Wedge replica. The first Max Wedge appeared in April 1962, after Chrysler engineers began tests on long-ram and short-ram engines in the 1950s. It measured just 413 cubic inches and offered plenty of power for its size.

In terms of aesthetics, the classic Plymouth is painted bright red on a rust-free California body. The car's interior is jet black with super stock bucket seats, perfect for racing.
