Wonder what they valued the car today at.

$525,000.

 

[Barry Taylor]

And it doesnt even have the correct tee after the fuel filter.

That car sits on the display floor of the NHRA museum at the Pomona Fairgrounds. It's immaculate. Tom Jacobson is about the best person you could ever know.

The story is worth more than the car it self.
My car came off the assembly line about the same as this car. I don't know all of its history but it would not be valued anywhere near what this one is.

Tom told me months ago it was going over to Jay's.

On those who pick it apart....IT IS A RACE CAR NOT A PERFECT SHOW CAR!!!!!!!

SORRY....Tom is a very close friend of mine and I don't like the nit-picking.
Off my box now............

Don't know, if they had that color BLUE, IN 1962, but it's very nice.

That would be one of the original Bisquicks right, the 409 wasn't available in the Biscayne in 61 was it?I remember seeing a 66 with the L72 427 at the car collection at the Imperial Palace casino in Vegas years ago,talk about a wolf in sheeps clothing.

Yes the 409 was available in 61 Biscayne's

My bad I thought there was only something like 150 409's in 61 and that they were all in impala SS.
