Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
 

Bob,

I know of a few 409 wagons. One is changing hands and needs the restoration completed. That's a possible depending on how much time the job takes. One is a '64 T.I car that needs it all. I know of another '64 auto car that is all done but I've lost track of it.
I'm back on my legs (all 6 of them counting the walker) so I'll start to make more contacts.

Verne, check off #10 on your list. BUT, you and Mike have to wear t-shirts with a pack of marlboros rolled up in the sleeve and sit on the front fender and smoke. And if Lillard comes anywhere near my car with a bag of hamburgers shits gonna get real.

This is one of the coolest 409 cars I've ever seen. Low miles, original paint with just the right amount of patina, and a genuine factory hot rod. Bob was hesitant because he has always considered it just a cruise night car that he drives all Summer. This is a great addition to what is shaping up as a highlight of the show, and I think the crowds will agree. Thanks Bob, and nice going Verne.

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
 

Way cool!

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
 

Thanks Bob. I was getting tired of twisting your arm. See if you can turn up a correct replacement mirror.

The neat thing about Bob's car is that it has some unique features that only REAL 409 cars have and that most people are not aware of. Make sure and ask Bob or myself to point them out to you.

Two more off the list. Unless someone else lets the cat out of the bag, I'd prefer to keep some of them as surprises. I will note that the Z-11 is an unlettered car, displayed just as it was delivered to the dealer. It also has it's <span style="font-weight: bold">original</span> engine.

I thought the mirror head was broken. Very rare option to find on an otherwise optionless hi-perf 409 car.

Our family's Chevrolet Dealership &quot;Cook Chevrolet Oldsmobile&quot; in Bristol NH sold a Black 1962 409 4spd Wagon to the local funeral home, family was trying to keep the 19-20 year old son in the business and allowed him to order the new passenger wagon for the home no restrictions other than black on black. When he started in on ordering the 409 4spd my uncle called the funeral home and they said he can order whatever his heart desires as long as it's solid black. Wonder if the car is still around?

Bob, Some errors have been found on your registration. In order to accept your car as a real 409 car you will need to provide the following information:
1 An xray of the muffler
2 A photo of the pilot bearing in the rear of the crankshaft
3 An analysis of the oil in the transmission
4 And a photocopy of the water pump impeller.

We hope this doesn't inconvenience you.

Vern, Bob Marvin from Warroad, MN has a museum called &quot;The Shed&quot;. In it is has a supposed real Nassau Blue/Blue 1962 SS409/409 convertible. Might be worth checking into.

IF that's the car with plastic seat covers and 7,500 original miles, that's a hell of a car.

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
 

Jake's '62 2x4 car was the first one registered so that slot is taken up. I could use help finding 400hp cars though. I'm also having a hard time finding a 340hp '65. Any leads would be appreciated.

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
 

The roster is now open to more than one of each year/horsepower, providing the second car is significantly different from the first one. Meaning no two cars of the same body style or color.

I think we're about at the 60ft mark now and about dead even. Powershift, here we go....

The most satisfying part of this search is finding real cars that I didn't already know about. Most of the cars signed up so far are ones I've already doc'd and know they're real.
