Here's a picture that will make all you 435 owners run out to the garage and pull your rear wheel center caps off. If you look at the 7:00 position on the flange of my rear axle (outermost part), you will see an "O" stamped in it. This signified that the axle was shot peened. Sometimes a "+" was used also. The only cars that got this axle were 65 396s, 66 427/425s and 67 427/435s. If your car doesn't have this it doesn't mean it wasn't a high horse big block, the axles could have been changed. If your car does have these marks, it is generally accepted that it is a 396 427/425 or 427/435. I have looked at approx 50 orig cars (about half high horse) and found no exceptions to this rule, but I imagine there is an exception to every rule. FYI this info came to me from a 67 435 collector that has 10 or 12 cars at any one time. More to come. Tom

Original radiator, fan shroud, core support. This pic was taken right after I purchased it in 05. Orig radiator has since been repaired.

Odometer shows 85K. Has all orig interior except front carpet. Beautiful rust free frame. The underneath of the car looks like it's 5 years old. One of the nicest I've seen in a while. The car can be bought as it sits for 90k or you can buy some all or none of the parts. Thanks, Tom
