Pontiac 409

[Rare1]

Don't see a M20. But there is a CSL-14G which GMVVS was pretty interested in. I have a letter from George Zapora from 1996 when the previous owner authenticated it. And yes, the number on the block matches the car. Transmission not so much, it's a Muncie M20.

Spent some time on her today. Motor went in yesterday. Shifter and some interior assembly done.

 

[Rare1]

Noticed I’m missing door handles. Window cranks galore though. Have to suffice for now. Would buy a pair if anyone has

 

[La Hot Rods]

Are the handles the same as Chevy?

I'm in Thunder Bay. The goal for now is to assemble the car enough to make it run and drive. I want to attend the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Chicago come November with it in the Barn Finds section. If you've never been, it's a blast. We had our '68 Petty road runner there a few years ago pre Covid.

Numbers on the block match the car. That is AMAZING! It's your car, but there are only 1 of those blocks, I wouldn't abuse it.
Put a different block in it and let it rip! The rest of the parts are just parts other than date codes, but the block is 1 of 1.

I freshened it up with new standard rings and bearings. It was quite nice inside. A few passes with a Sunnen hone was enough. It was a puzzle when we first got the car that the odometer showed 99 k and the motor was so mint inside. Came to find that the car was ran for years with a 327 and the 09 was sold. The previous owner tracked it down in an Impala and bought it for the engine.

What were the odds of finding the engine, especially in such good shape...

Awesome car, red interior too!

 

[Rare1]

The interior is spectacular too. Just the carpet is missing.

Just getting to the brakes. Sent the master and booster off to John Stuart Brakes In Hamilton. They will stainless sleeve the master and rebuild the booster. Rest of the brakes are in great condition, including the metallic shoes. The previous owner spent a lot of time coating the undercarriage with sumpin.
