Nice to know I guess, no bearing on value of that 62

The VIN listed shows 1511 which is a BelAir 6 cyl. 2 Door Sedan. 1611 would be a BelAir V-8 2 Door Sedan. The VIN information takes precedence over the Cowl Data tag information for the SERIES (second and third digit on driver's door post stainless tag).

He states in the description that the car is a non numbers matching car so at that point it really doesn't matter what the car was born with as it is being built as a clone.

There is a Red 1962 2Dr Sedan BelAir '409' $$$ car and a Red 1962 2Dr Sedan Biscayne '409' $$$ car on that auction site presently...both were originally 6-Cyl from the factory..Just saying be aware...guess i need to pull that Chevy 350 engine out of my TRUE V-8 "1211" code 1962 Biscayne and transplant that extra 409 sitting here....presto extra $20K in value!
"This is a non numbers matching car" could mean "not the exact original 409 engine" or guess it could mean "was a 6-cyl now a 409".....

Paul, looks like you might be seeing the 2 extra tubes at the fire wall are the heater control valve...maybe this heater only came on Impalas, but does look like my 61 impala heater at the firewall..... I thought the valve covers were hilarious....

Correct Dean there should be 4 outlets for the heater, I guess I was pointing out
that the heater was bypassed by running a hose from the water pump to the intake and leaving
the 4 heater outlets wide open ( which is strange for a fully restored car)
