All '62 409s were solid lifter engines - 380hp or 409hp. No Powerglide with the '09 until '63 when they introduced the hyd lifter 340hp.

We are getting so much conflicting info on this car. I'll be happy to get all the weddings, funerals
, and business glitches out of the way so we can start digging through this car. So many things make it look like a real 409 car, yet some say there's no way it could be because of the tranny and some say the opposite.
So far we have found it to have the right radiator, the right fuel line routing, the little white ceramic box on the firewall (don't remember what that's called), the right front shocks. One thing I think I haven't mentioned yet is that the people we bought it from bought it 30 years ago and have had it in storage for the last 20. It only has 16k miles and has original interior and paint. Even the exhaust looks original and it still has the paper tags on the springs. Looks like it was seldom, if ever, driven in the rain. Once we get that Caprice out of there tomorrow
I will reveal some info on who it is that owned these cars. I have a feeling a lot of you might know of him.
