Hello All,
I am a new member. I was in the old car hobby years ago when I lived in Dayton, Ohio. Now I live in northern New York, about 90 miles north of Syracuse. Over the course of about 20 years I owned, nine 1961 Chevies...a '62, a 63, a '66 and a host of other cars. They are all gone now.
I have a serious health issue facing me and I am considering selling off the stuff that I kept to build 'one more car'...I don't think that it is going to happen.
The asking prices for both cars and 'stuff' seems to have increased A LOT since I got out of the old car hobby so I'm kind of looking to this group for some 'ballpark' figures for these items.
I have:
1963 409 340 HP engine...QG code (I kinda forget ?) originally was mated to a Powerglide. Small valve heads...currently has a tri-power intake on it. It has 1960 '348' 2-1/2" exhaust manifolds and a dual point, no vacuum advance distributor. A Lakewood bellhousing and mated to a 1961 wide ratio cast iron T-10. It has a Hurst shifter. I also have the original cast iron 4 barrel intake with a Rochester Carb and another tri-power intake with 3 re-built carbs on it (although re-built probably 20 years ago now). I have a dual snorkel air cleaner which I believe came with a Carter 4 barrel (?). I do not have the Carter carburetor.
This motor was running in a '61 Impala when I pulled it in about 1993 (?)
I have oiled the cylinders and turn it over occasionally...it is not locked up but I would freshen it up before I ever put it back in another car...The oil pan has been modified (to fit in a 1969 Chevelle) but I have another oil pan.
A 1961 4 speed steering column, red, with steering wheel.
Four original 1961 'SS' hubcaps in various conditions.
Two 1961 standard hubcaps with original 1961 'SS' spinners installed into them.
Four standard 1961 Impala hubcaps.
An original 1961 'SS' floor shifter plate in kind of beat up condition.
A 1961 / 1962 'SS' grab bar but without the mounting plate.
An entire 1961 Dashboard assembly, red.
A couple or maybe 3 1960's Sun tachs...but not OEM tachs...over the counter kinds and with reproduction faces and a reproduction tach mounting bracket.
Two or 3 Sun sending units for the tachs.
An original 1961 'SS' side badge and trunk badge in pitted condition.
A set of 3 new, never used, reproduction 1961 'SS' emblems.
A 1961 front bumper, rechromed but it has been wrapped in plastic for probably 20 years and I have no idea whether the plating is any good any more.
A radiator support in good condition.
A 1964 (?) 'P' case differential in poor condition...the positraction unit has been removed...3.08 gears.
A '4' series non 'P' case differential with 3:70 gears and a loose positraction unit for reassembly as a positraction differential.
An engine hoist.
A pair of M & H Racemaster drag slicks on 15 inch wheels but in kind of beat up condition.
And probably other stuff that I have forgotten...
I'm interested in any information on current pricing on these items that anyone can offer and if I decide to sell, I'd like to sell it all as a lump sum...bring a truck and maybe a trailer and buy it all. I don't want to ship anything...as I said, I'm about 90 miles north of Syracuse.
