Dodge Dart 413 Max Wedge
The early ’60s marked Dodge’s entry to the drag racing scene with several models, the first of which was the brutally fast Dart 413 Max Wedge. The 1962 Dart was a mid-size family model offered with choices of six-cylinder and V8 engines and a long list of optional extras. It was a high-volume car with no racing pretensions until somebody shoehorned a big 413 Wedge engine with high compression and up to 420 HP. Equipped with a limited-slip differential, several rear-end ratios, heavy-duty suspension, and a lightweight body with a stripped interior, the Dodge Dart 413 was a true muscle car bred for the dragstrips.
