64 Belvedere 426 Max Wedge Dual Quad

Most importantly, this 1964 Belvedere Wedge is NOT a clone, a tribute, or a replica. As verified by the original fender tag and Galen Govier report—this is a super rare, real deal 4-speed, 426 Street Wedge Belvedere, now sporting a real deal “High Compression” 426 Max Wedge motor, built with all the right parts from1964. The block itself is a 1963 426 Max Wedge that was fully rebuilt to 1964 Stage III factory specs. Compression was lowered from the outrageous HC spec of 13.5:1 down to a more streetable 11:1 (which was also available in 1964, and made 415 horsepower and 470 lb-ft. of torque vs. the HC’s 425 HP and 480 lb-ft). The engine runs super strong with no issues, stays cool in traffic and pulls like a freight train.

There’s an original MP509 camshaft with hydraulic lifters and a set of Crane Gold adjustable rocker arms (the originals come with the car) for low maintenance. It’s all topped by that killer original Stage III cross-ram intake with a pair of 625 CFM Carter carbs sporting their original factory chrome dress-up air cleaners. Exhaust is through the trick factory manifolds with matched 21-inch long runners, dumping into a custom 3-inch TTI stainless exhaust system with cut-outs. You’d better believe this 1964 Belvedere Wedge sounds nasty.

Cosmetically, this 1964 Belvedere Wedge is in absolute show condition. On the outside, the paint and stainless trim are world-class, with all the Belvedere-specific pieces intact. There was some question as to the authenticity of the plain-Jane deck lid and rear panel trim, but it has been verified by experts as original and authentic. Apparently, the guys on the assembly line just didn’t care what trim went on these high-performance cars, they just wanted to get them out the door and onto the street.
