Default Re: Original paint '62 409hp 409

More info if someone is interested:

1. the 409 emblems are real, not repro
2. The throttle rod is for a 327
3. The 4-spd back-up switch harness (part of it) is there
4. The holes are in the inner fender for the tach sender (correct for either 300hp 327 or 409 with a 4-spd)
5. The engine harness is not for a 409, but it's been messed with.
6. The cowl tag is legit and shows a red on red sport coupe (non SS)
7. The steering column is a legit 4-spd column
8. The radiator in the trunk is for a std trans but I can't tell which one it is.
9. Valve covers appear to be from a '64
10. The bellhousing would be correct for either a 300hp 327 or a 409
11. The heads have the right numbers for a 409 but no dates are shown.
12. From what little I can see of the carbs, they appear to be correct.

The floors appear to be nice and solid but the photos don't show the front braces which are the first to go. (not repro'd correctly for a '62).
