I'm not familiar with this car specifically, but from what I can see it appears to be done correctly. (a couple small details aside).
The block pad and trans stampings should be checked of course, as well as the cowl tag. (the car should be built before January)

It's a real JA 409 car. The seller of the pre-restored car sent me pictures of all the stampings as well as the cowl tag. It's a 12D St Louis car with a factory M20. It also had at that time the correct 7K RPM 6K redline tach. This is the only L31 Biscayne (or 409 65 Biscayne for that matter) I have seen besides ours.

I know of another 409 Biscayne or Bel Air somewhere in MO. Guys father originally bought it, and I think it was originally Canadian.

Did they have hardtops? I didn't think so.

Looks like it's only going to get one bid to $50k and not meet the reserve.Very nice car.
