------All I can do is repeat the "WOW!!!", Bob. What a cool 64 (my favorite color). Can I ask how you figured out which 409 it was. Maybe throttle linkage remains??? Obviously, it probably was a 425, but it could have been lower horse...........Bill S

Thannks to Bob for sharing his cool ride with us. I like the dog dishes on it...

By the way...if you didn't notice, Bob sent like 49 pictures...he FINALLY has high speed internet! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Finally! I love it, Bob. Looks great. Always been a fan of that missing inner headlight look. I'd put two scenarios in that cars past: it was stolen and recovered minus the '09 and four speed (very common on these cars back then) and was being put back just as a driver or the car was just harvested of it's driveline to be put into spome Willys or '55 Chevy when the owner wanted to go faster. Who knows? Wish they could talk.

Way to go Bob. Glad to see it in "print" finally. It was a lot of fun researching the car. I remember your amazement when you discovered that one little tidbit!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif No doubt about it - it's real one! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif That original interior blows me away!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif

Outstanding find and great job bringing it back from its long 'nap' https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Did they really have nothing covering up the unoccupied floor shift hole?

Bill...the spring tags were/are still on the car along with the original spiral shocks. Verne looked the numbers up but I don't recall what the listing was. If I remember correctly they were a 409 HD application.
