Clean looking...
I've got to admit, those '62 Converts are really sweet looking
.
This one has a bucket o' tar underneath, looks like selected places (easy to get to and that look good in a photo) but that begs the question of how solid those pans are. Trunk areas look good (or gone over).
Most of the interior looks correct and well detailed.
I do like the Moon covers. Are those the big heads? Can't see the intake well, is it correct? Fan shroud looks right, radiator looks right.
No mention of numbers on block or other key components that I could see.
Overall it presents very well to the photographer. Me, I'd like to see it when it was stripped or know more about its history before I plunked down the cash. Divide by 10 and maybe I could own it???
Cheers,
TomK

The 409 was probably aquired later on, otherwise it too probably would be painted the blue body color just like the trans, and fuel tank.
Somebody figured it could pull big $$$ with the '09 in it.
somewhere in this world is a blue small block chevy that matches that car,.......
now it is seeking a new home.

OK Jim
This the way I see it.
What's wrong??? Here it goes...
Late Edelbrock?? I thought Carters were factory?
disc front brake conversion..not
alternator
:
valve covers
glass bowl fuel filter- not for 62'.:evil
rad cap:stooges
radiator
trunk mats
:
differential..check out the rear cover.
mufflers
maybe shocks
tires
wheels
tach..can't see clear enough
tach sending unit in engine compartment?
S/S trim..can't see clear enough.
Based on what I thought was "correct" ... the above maybe isn't.

Well I finally got a chance today to check out this car.
They say it is an oridge `09 car but I`m not sure one way or the other.
What I can say besides the painted under parts, tank etc, this is a really nice car !!!
Excellent paint, interior and trim. Nice job under the hood.
Not a 100 point car but very nice never the less,,,,
Someone spent a lot of money on the resto using all new bolts and nuts etc. but,,
Can``t believe that after all the excellent work they would paint the trans and gas tank though,,,stupid IMO,,,,:takethat
Wouldn`t mind having it in my garage,,,, dq

Couldn't really see if it had the 409 emblems below the V emblems,also couldn't see if the rad. is slanted and with the dipples. DQ you looked at this car we're these items there? Did they say what 4-speed it has in it? Just curious.
409 Emblems are there,,,,I didn`t really talk to them much other then hello,,,, had to work and just took a few minutes to check it out,,,
If it isn`t an oridge `09 I think they did a good job anyways,,,,other then the obvious we have stated.
I know the owner of the lot but he wasn`t there,,,if I get more time this week i drop by again,,,dq
