64 engine pad ?

[Tom S.]

This is what appears to be on the pad.I figure it is a 365 h.p. flint engine, but is the rest correct? Here goes 4103956 FI0I4RE That is the way I read it is it correct ? Thanks in advance Tom

It looks correct. 4103956 would be an October built car which lines up with 10/14 the block is a 365hp and the F indicates a flint engine. That doesn't mean someone didn't restamp a block. The rear passengers side of the block shouold have a casting date on it also. It should be around early October.

Tom -

The letter "I" was almost always used instead of the number "1".

Thank you that makes sense now. I could not figure the I,why did they use that instead of 1 ? I am looking for a good original C-2, I found this one close to home but it does not have factory air which I want.We are leaving for Carlisle tomorrow so maybe I will be able to find something there. Thanks again for your help.

Finding a 64 with ac will not be easy. They only built 1988 ac cars in 64. You might be shocked by the prices at Carlisle. I always get supprised by the asking prices. There might be some deals at the auction there.

Thanks for the info. I do not have to have a 64, I am interested in all the c-2's the 67's are out of my price range, but other than that I am interested in them all.I have heard before that the prices at Carlisle are out of line.If so the seller can take them back home thats all.Thanks again for the input.Tom
