Re: Anyone know this Maxie?



Hi Robert,

Depends if it's a Stage I (Ramcharger) or Stage II (Ramcharger A).
According to Darrel Davis, there were this many Polara 500's:

Stage I:
96 2DR HT
28 Convert
124 Total
Onyx BB-1 paint code: 37

Stage II:
7 2DR HT
0 Convert
7 Total
Onyx BB-1 paint code: 2

FYI, including the 330, 330, Polara and Polara 500, there were 962
Maxies of both flavors for 1963.  This is including the single 330
Wagon.  Wonder where that is?

On a personal note, I'm the proud owner of what looks like the only
Ivory Stage II Polara 500.  Of course, it's in need of a total restore
and not running and with a couple of 3 and 7 year old boys and what
seems like 10 minutes per week to work on it, I'm figuring I'll be old
and gray before I can enjoy it.  But it's my delusions that keep me
going.

I.e., send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
