25g is the code for a 353hp 4bbl '63 auto trans 421. DK like everyone else on the other number. In the picture the coil is blocking a view to where the transfer lug would be.

Number conundrum + 421 emblem looks crooked...on a re-paint...is that a flag? (and I don't mean the ones above the 4 2 1!!)
What is the transmission code? I can't do this one right now...were it a 'deuce' I WOULD, believe me...so for anyone in the hunt, I would think that Express-PHS is worth the $ to BE SURE. Good luck, be informed and fer cripes sake, take me for a ride in it!! |

So I am set to look at the car tomorrow unless for some reason someone picks it up tonight or something else comes up. Not sure how this is going to work out. At first he tells me its all original, than I bring up the carb and repaint. He than says, yea it has been repaited. I asked if there were any other parts with the car, he said he was not sure, but there were some in the trunk. Says that the trunk and floor pans are all solid as well as the frame, he also adds that he is a carpenter and not a body/mechanic so he said who knows if I will find something that he missed. My mind is telling me that there are going to be a lot more issues when I show up to look at this one and that I will have spent a day on the road for no good reason.......well other than looking at an old poncho!

Well, i am going to bow out on this one. Seller initially said that I would be able to make the drive back from fort atkinson wi and now is saying that he "may be able to get it started" when i am there. To much going on for me on this one with the rust, repaint, unk 421 question, and driveability?? Good luck to anyone that is still looking at it.

This is all circumstantial evidence, but it would lead me to believe that someone with at least 4 classic automobiles would know something about the car, unless he is selling it for someone else. Even then, I would think he would want to know everything about it. Also, to me, in the photos, the motor looks wet. Looks like someone tried to hose it down to make it look better. After seeing more photos, I'd pass too. Thanks. MK |

You guys are tough! If I were closer I'd go look at it and find out the truth. Many times people are very ill informed of what they have. You'll never know if you don't go see it.

I agree. For someone, it may or may not be a great car. 421 car? maybe. 8 lugs for sure, but who knows the condition. Rust, for sure and who knows how far. If this was in the same town or same state, i would have to go look at it. but it is over 4 hrs away from me so 8 hrs just to get there and back on some info and pics that are not very solid. Not bad, but from what I have seen and continue to learn, it is just not for me. As described by seller initially, this would have been a driver for me, not a project from the start. Who knows, it may be even better than what it shows, but as stated I am going to bow out on this one.
The car is stated to have been purchased by his grandfather in 1986 and has been in storage most of the time, only taken out for Sunday drives.......so the seller says and may even be true.

Similar 4 door
check out this ad in Hemmings. Sounds a lot like the same car. http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/...e/1557421.html
Asking price is even in the same range. |
