Definitely not the correct air cleaner nor thermostat housing for this car. It is Amazing what people ask for cars. I can't imagine this to be a car with out some sort of "Story" IMO & I have had a LOT of Big Block Impala's (first one in 1972, a 396 1966 Super Sport 4 speed car) and currently have a 1966 SS-396 TH-400, a/c, factory Bucket Seat, 2 spoke wheel power trunk release coupe. But what do I know? I do really like these cars, honest! They just take twice as much time & money to complete, but get 1/2 the $$$ when you go to sell them compared to a Camaro, Corvette Or Chevelle

Yes you are correct Bill in that the intake and thermostat housing are wrong for this car if in fact you are talking about it having factory correct equipment. The cast intake and correct rebuilt carb are sitting in my shop waiting to be installed. Been collecting factory correct pieces for some time now but wanted to install everything all at once. The air cleaner is an all time favourite of mine and just a personal choice. Thought I would throw the car up for sale to see if there's any local interest. I've always remembered an old saying when it comes to pricing old cars. You can always go down in price buy rarely can you go up. LOL Wish me luck!!
