This just went for $57k, so I don’t think $45k is out of line for a nice car that presents that well. Like any other collectible musclecar, its all about verifying the pieces there. It needs to have a correct ‘62 solid lifter 406 block, C2SE-B or -C heads, a correct BW T-10 transmission, a correct trio of Holley carbs, 3” front brakes, Kelsey Hayes 15x5-1/2” wheels (they’re $2k a set), etc.
Neat cars (that’s why I’m tom406) but a bit of a niche collectible, as even Ford guys sometimes have to be educated on what a 406 is (only offered late ‘62 and early ‘63).
Would love to see pics if you get it.
