Thanks to convert for asking the question and thanks to bsl409 and 32witha409 for responding . This site and it's members are priceless with their help and knowledge. THANKS AGAIN

Hi I also live in So Cal and I also have a 348 that I was going to have Superior build. I spoke to Joe about it about 5 months before he passed away. There was also 2 gentleman in Santa Ana that were very knowledgable on 409's but unfortunately they passed away also. I am unsure who to give...

Thank you Phil. I appreciate it.

I got a 63 impala 283 3-speed column shift. I 'm going to be installing a 409 with a T-10. I already have a proper steering column for a floor shift manual. After I get the trans , my question is and I'm assuming the Saginaw and Borg-Warner are different sizes. Will the current driveshaft still...

I keep digging up parts for this car that i obtained way before i even had this car. I remember looking for years and years and finally got one . RADIO DELETE PLATE for an impala.

I appreciate the kind replies . I have no idea how this poor car ended up with El Camino hubcaps . They are not that good looking. I have a clean set of poverty caps that will be replacing them.

So I dug up an intake i have had for a few years now and an original 63 air cleaner that my dad had on his 62 . He got it from his friend that bought a brand new 63 dual quad impala. When he sold his 62 he put the black original on and held onto the chrome one for 6 decades. I had this hanging...

While reading posts on this great forum this evening I just decided I'm going to name and letter the fender on my 63 "White Lady II" in honor of my dad's 62 "White Lady" 409. Hopefully I find or recreate that car one day.

Hi Does anybody know if the decals and magnets are still available from this sight. I tried placing an order but no success. Any info would be appreciated. THANKS

Change of plans. While hoping to find my dad's 62 ss 409 "the White Lady" or building a tribute of it. An opportunity presented itself that I couldn't turn down. A 63 base impala 2 door 283 3 on the tree white with red interior. My coworkers father bought this car used in 1963 so it has been...

Hi I was reading an old thread on this form about racing in New York and a current or former member TONY0707 was discussing racing his 63 409 in this area in the 60's. He mentioned that people would come up with names of their cars and paint them on their front fenders. He listed off a few that...

Thanks rsavage I appreciate you giving me a heads up about it

Yeah I apologize for not being so precise. My father lived in Long Island. Raced at WESTHAMPTON all the time. In 2 years of racing on the street he said he was beaten only once by a 63 lightweight Dodge. He referred to it as a taxi cab.

Hi guys. My Dad was from New York and street raced his 62 409 SS and I remember him always talking about the places where everybody would meet up. It would be great if anybody had pictures that they could post of the establishments like : Wetson's...

I appreciate the suggestions. I think I'm going to give it another try in locating this car again. Now with all the tools available to us compared to 2 decades ago it might make a difference. THANKS guys .
