------All I can do is repeat the "WOW!!!", Bob. What a cool 64 (my favorite color). Can I ask how you figured out which 409 it was. Maybe throttle linkage remains??? Obviously, it probably was a 425, but it could have been lower horse...........Bill S

Finally! I love it, Bob. Looks great. Always been a fan of that missing inner headlight look. I'd put two scenarios in that cars past: it was stolen and recovered minus the '09 and four speed (very common on these cars back then) and was being put back just as a driver or the car was just harvested of it's driveline to be put into spome Willys or '55 Chevy when the owner wanted to go faster. Who knows? Wish they could talk.

Way to go Bob. Glad to see it in "print" finally. It was a lot of fun researching the car. I remember your amazement when you discovered that one little tidbit!!!

Verne looked the numbers up but I don't recall what the listing was. If I remember correctly they were a 409 HD application.
