Folks, Jan and Dean, like their well known associates, The Beach Boys, were rising stars in the early 1960s.
What a tragedy, the wreck.

Song was released in 1964 , so that would be a Srage 3 426 Max Wedge in that Dodge.

One of the longest song titles ever...
" The Anaheim, Azusa and Cucamonga Sewing Circle, Book Review and Timing Association."
Printed across the top of the LP jacket and curved halfway down the side.
"They tool around town in their big Gran Prix, sittin' in their bucket seats, shootin' the breeze."

Yes, but it was written about the 1962/63 era.
In this era, the Chevrolet 409s and Ford 427s were routinely shutting down the Dodge 413 and 426 wedges.
This, of course, is why Chrysler decided to reintroduce the hemi.
Sadly, the GM corporate brass decided to withdraw from "racing" in the 1963 model year, in one of many efforts to prevent the Kennedy administration from attacking GM.
One wonders what might have happened had GM not done so. Even the very few Z11 W block 427s were dominating NHRA and likely would have so dominated NASCAR in 1963 had GM not pulled the plug.

My friends Dad owned Westwood Auto Electric. He a 426 Plymouth called Wedgerunner. A 426 wedge combustion chamber [not a hemi]. That thing would eat Chevrolets at the track. All out drag car. I have a Jan and Dean album after the accident and it did hurt the singing a lot.
