'63 409 Bel Air

[scuncio]

The seller claims this one began its life as a 425hp 409, not sure how you'd tell. Might be cool if you spent some time cleaning it up and sourcing speed parts consistent with the 1970s era when it was raced.

ha, that radiator hose is good ole American ingenuity. What da ya mean it don't fit, give me a hunk of that flex exhaust pipe...

I don’t even think Derek bieri of roadworthy would rig it like that.

Looks like there is no reserve on it. $35k is a bargain if it is as represented. Obviously would be better if it had the original engine.

I bet if Verne were here he could go over that car and tell us how legit it really is. It is even in his neck of the woods (so to speak). Man, I miss that guy.

If this this car had a vanity license plate it would read "SPLICE".

Agree with Lynn, Verne leaves a tremendous void. We miss him too.
