New SS 409 dude...on board!

[Steven Anastos]

I recently acquired a very special car, the last known SS 409 Impala to ship from the Saint Louis plant. The 2009 '348-409.com' Calendar shows my car (February), and acknowledges that fact. This car is very special, as she retains her original drive train (409-340 hp), all original sheet metal and is heavily documented with its Original Dealers Invoice, Original Window Sticker and Original Protecto-Plate. She also has great factory options, 3.31 Posi, PS, PB, AC, F41 Suspension, etc. I have been looking for a '65 409 car for 7-8 years, and could not find one that was documented as a real 409 car. Needless to say, I love my new car!

Steven:

Good for you! I traded Lou a few 1965 specific parts, heck they might be on your car. I recall it was a water pump and a pulley. Great car, and I believe it to be historically significant .

Glad to learn that it went to a good home and you are excited!

Cheers all around!

Hi Tom!...yes, I just installed the 'date code correct' water pump that Lou gave me with the car.

I'm happy that you feel that this car is historically significant, completely agree with you!

It is a very special car with wonderful documentation!

Thanks Tom!
