Described as:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In 1963 Dodge was serious about making their models lighter to take advantage of their new 426 \u201cRamcharger\u201d Max Wedge. Fifteen Chrysler engineers and technicians worked after hours to ready their new 426 power house for the 1963 Winternationals. Beginning with a thin gauge steel body, they replaced the lower front body, splash pan, hood, hood scoops and front fenders with aluminum components. Radio, heater, sound deadener and undercoating had been deleted, trimming further heft, and the battery relocated to the trunk. The result was the lightest Dodge 330 available, at 3,328 pounds, with a two percent transfer of weight to the rear of the car.<\/p>\n<p>The 1963 \u201cBig Bad Dodge\u201d was raced by Bob Fredrick of Fredrick Motors in Ohio. The successor to Frederick\u2019s 1962 Max Wedge racer, this car is the second in a line of racers that included a 426 Hemi-powered \u201964 330 Sedan, currently in a prominent collection, and a 1966 Dart. Bob and his son still own and operate Fredrick Motors today.<\/p>\n<p>Pictured in Larry Davis\u2019 Super Stock: Racing the Family Sedan, this is a truly extraordinary example of Dodge\u2019s legendary lightweight Super Stocker. The \u201cBig Bad Dodge\u201d is quite possibly as original as one of these cars can be.<\/p>\n<h4>Highlights:<\/h4>\n<p>&#8211; Factory aluminum front bumper and supports<br \/>\n&#8211; Aluminum front fenders<br \/>\n&#8211; Aluminum hood with hood scoop<br \/>\n&#8211; Original data plate<br \/>\n&#8211; All original sheet metal<br \/>\n&#8211; Correct shipping order numbers<br \/>\n&#8211; Documented race history with much more to add as the original owner is still a race enthusiast with immense knowledge and enjoys reminiscing of his \u201cBig Bad Dodge\u201d days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Story by Mecum Auctions<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a

We are like kids in a candy store, except the candy is made of metal, goes vroom-vroom, and occasionally bankrupts us faster than a sugar rush at a candy store sale! We spend hours debating the merits of turbochargers versus superchargers, and our weekends are a never-ending quest for the perfect polish and wax combo. We can identify every make and model by the sound of a revving engine, and our idea of a romantic evening is a candlelit dinner with our cars in the garage.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.supercars.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Supercars.net\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/super.cars.fans","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/supercars_net"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/supercars\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192291\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/192293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
