That isn’t going to go cheap. It’s not a 409 but man is it clean.

It amazes me that someone would restore a 283 PG car like that. Clearly a labor of love that they won’t get their money back on.

Gorgeous car.

Numbers matching used to mean a lot, probably still does. Never made a ton of sense to me, especially when it comes to common  options. If this were a W-409, obviously that's a no brainier.

“numbers matching” wouldn’t mean much on a 283 Powerglide car.

And it’s a bit of an overused term sometimes- cars this old generally don’t have the last 6 of the VIN stamped on the block, so they can't be numbers matching. 

20-25 years ago,  61 SS 409s were believed to be extinct.   Now there's plenty to be found.  I don't think they were ever really gone,  but most of those you see now didn't exist in 1995.

You’ve given me a lot to think about, thanks.
