    Yeah. He lives in Tennessee now. Still owns it and said he will be buried in it. I believe he is restoring his now. It’s been a year since I have talked to him. Hopefully he has it done now.

    I have talk to them like BJ but people told me they would eat a peon like me up. I read about them and it was scary. If you sign the paper and they pick up your car then you have no control of it anymore and when it goes across the block it could be disappointing. Mecum I believe would be a...

    Thanks. I figured it was a factory ordered 60’s race car and that’s the way it should sit but I think if I had it all over to do again I would of left it the way I raced it. The 360 HP engine price was enough to choke a horse. After changing to the right numbered parts and dates like the trans...

    Thanks Bryan. You sure make jealous you racing yours and the times you are turning. If I had restored it like I had I raced it I still could be racing it I guess. But I changed everything the way it was set up plus that 360 Hp motor keeps me from it. Just sets now.

    The cross Ram worked great. I built my own linkage but with an electric fuel pump it made it easier by running the carbs dry and then build and test test test till they opened evenly.

    Thanks. Not for sure what I’m asking but to the right buyer I’ll make them a good deal. Listen to offers I guess. Hate to see it go but it is time.

    Hi Ya All Butch here on our 61 Fleetmaster: My wife came across a discussion on our ole 409 and the price. I'd like to explain. Around 2012 we had it appraised by a well known and very well respected appraiser of these vintage 409 cars and it came in at " $205,000 plus ". The car was studied...

    '61 Biscayne Stroked 348/440c.i. My First Restoration

    He y Great project. Friend of mine Glen and I were wondering what the style number is on your Biscayne. We are always keeping an eye out for the Fleetmasters which they made in 1961. No way of telling other than the first 5 numbers. Impalas were always my favorite for years but switched over...
