Pictures!! I need pictures!!!

This is some great info :)
I am in the process of buying the car but i will be reselling it. It also has MINT black center console with tic toc tach, th400 (not original ??), 10 bolt rear. It has the correct trim around the trunk lock, bulge hood, sport wheel, white buckets, and near perfect grill. The trunk pan and right rear quarter have rust, otherwise looks good, even arounfd the back window. Car is partially dissassembled and located in the Okanagan area of BC.

2 speed powergilde car

2 tone trim D99 

I am valuing this car around the $3500 mark. Thoughts ??

I know it's been said here before? but in 67 , the SD option DID not mean BBC ,, is that correct?

Correct. There used to be a 67 SD 283 2 barrel single exhaust factory 4 speed car  here in my home town.

IF you ordered a SD in 67 , was it built with a 396 ONLY ?? like in 68??

Yes, once they did the changeover to the 738 cars. Before that, the Custom with the A51 Sports Option (Sport Deluxe) could be had from 283 up.

thanks Carl, that is what you were getting at on the other thread, and that car was a 6 cyl.

so, the car the top of this , because of the eraly build date is an SD ( A51 ) , but the engine is anybodys guess with out doing the docs.

correct??

Yes, from what I know the pre 738 cars could be a 283, 327 or 396. And I don't think the engine option code appeared on the cowl tags, early or late so you are right about needing the documents to prove the engine.

 

Fred, have you noticed that there seems to be 6 cyl cars with A51 sport option only at the very start of production?

Do you think they dropped the 6 from the lineup early on?

Maybe not though, that list indicates the Fawn color was only available with a bench seat.

This car was partially disassembled in the late 80's. Interior, engine/trans, fenders, hood, trunk, removed. Body removed from frame but now resting back on. No restoration started yet. Engine torn apart. I did not get any date or suffix codes off the engine yet, just that it is a 1962-67 327 from the casting #. The rear is a ten bolt and the trans is not original as it is a TH400, but i do have a period correct 2spdPG that I will put with the car. The interior needs upholstery due to age but the console and all other parts look to be in very nice condition. All glass, trim and chrome looks good. Only apparent rust issues are the trunk floor, passenger rear quarter behind wheel, and a little up the front side kick panels. Someone did cut out the rear defrost/speaker panel so it will need a replacement. So all in, this car will need basically a complete restoration but all the right stuff seems to be there and decent. The next best thing would be if the engine is VIN correct. As soon as i have more info and pics i will post them. Like i said, this is a car I will be selling, not keeping, and I am thinking the buyer will be happy as it sounds like this SD has good value and worth a restoration.
Cheers, Ryan :)

The frame/suspension was not torn apart and the glass, trim, and doors are still on the body. I could make it look like a car again in a few hours but either way it will have to be apart to restore. Thanks for all your input.
Cheers, Ryan :)
