Tom, are those fuel lines correct? Ive never seen fuel lines running around behind the rear carb. My valve covers look the same except the oil filler stacks are in the center on each valve cover.
Thanks

They are not correct with 2 in the center.64 GTOs had one in the center no stack on the other side.Original cars I have seen in 63 were painted.Not sure If I have seen a original 64 HO car.Tom

I will entertain serious offers, it's a sweet car that someone would really enjoy but I'm having a baby and need to refocus my priorities

Tom/John,

Both '63 tripowers I had , the rear carb's original line curved around the back of the carb. It was known to vibrate and sometimes leak at the carb fitting. I looked at the Seller's pics and the fuel line appears to have "square-ish" corners not a "smooth" curved line. But, the routing around back is correct (at least for The Linden, NJ made cars I have).

John - I'm still interested in the AC stuff. Traveling this week and back home middle of next week.
