Hey, watch it! I just checked your profile! I'm a year older and I'm still young and stupid!!!

You can't be stupid either. You kept your car. I sold my 427 4 speed Grande Parisienne...

Hey oldsled guy my brother has the other one the forum  knows of.  (Built in March)

Same setup exactly as yours except triple black.  Yours doesn't look like it has power steering from the pictures.  Is that the case?  Is yours 340 horse as well?

Also you may already know this but my brother had his checked by GM vintage services a few years back and there were 74 custom sport hardtops and convertibles built with the  340  horse 409.  Not sure of the breakdown between automatics and 4 speeds though.  Do you have any better numbers?

It great to know of another. Maybe we can compare notes or ????

You are right grandguy my car doesnt have power steering just a idler pulley where the pump should be.It doesnt have a lot of options.Power brakes,power antena and vacume gauge.I think radio and clock where standard items along with the tach when you got the standard trans.Had GM look into this car back when it was free,but lost the paper.It was actually a photo copy of a ledger type page.It showed a car before and after mine.Gave me the shipping location and decoded the option list for the car that was it.

The  car has never been owned by anyone farther than 70 miles from the place it was sold.If i remember right i looked at the cars which where on the photo copy and one was a very well optioned rag top.I dont think it was a 09 car it might not have even been a custom sport but it sure had a lot of options.

Those sheets are gold nowadays. We will never be able to get that kind of info from GM again.

I have the one for my 65 Acadian, my nephew has the one for his 67 Beaumont. Fun to look at and see what was made in those days.

Way back in 2009 Vinnie put pics of my car on this thread.well life has kinda slowed down and I finally got the old girl outta storage and into the shop. Heres how she looks today. Because of old fuel and my stupidity it ended up with some bent push rods. (Parts are on order. I will do some long over due maintance and some detailing and cleaning and hopefully hit a few cruise night this summer.

How about doing a story and letting Todd run it as the feature car sometime soon? Spectacular candidate.
