'62 421/4-speed Grand Prix

[scuncio]

Neat car, guessing it's not a factory issue 421 (believe all '62 421 factory installations were Super Duty cars) but nice car nonetheless.

I love the styling on these...especially the tail lamps and rear trim. Really highlights the wide track appearance.

Yes sir, all of the 62 Grand Prix's with 421 motors were Super Duty's and there were only 16 of them.

My all time favorite Poncho, along with the 61/62 Catalinas/Venturas.

In 1975 I passed on an original owner black/black '62 GP tri-carb with rusty quarters, asking $150. But that's also the year I passed on a '69 Yenko Chevelle for $2,500. Dumb A$$.......:rolleyes2:

Tommy,would be interesting to see the PHS,I know there were some 421 pass car engine put in some 62 car late in the model year.He says original rebuilt engine.I just got done build a 63 421 HO engine for my 62 4 speed GP.Tom

in Petes book it says there were 68 documented 29J which were 421 autos so unless changed the 4 speed would not be correct?Tom

Tom,
If it is a legit 62 421 (I don't think it is) wouldn't you think it would have a generator instead of that alternator? That alternator bracket looks like 1963 to me. I'd bet that is a 63 motor but I could be wrong.
Also, are my eyes playing tricks on me or what, there are two photos showing the console and it looks like a different console in the second photo.

It does look like a diff console,as I said would like to see the PHS,late 62 A/C cars I'm told came with alt.It looks like it still have the gen voltage reg?Tom
