Man CRH, that's a really great deal, great score. The only thing I would caution you to check carefully is the air cleaner (and I hope it's a correct air cleaner). The air cleaner I mentioned that was close but not the same was from a Chevelle and they were painted black. I don't know for sure the exact difference, but I will get the info for you so you can do some investigative work.
That's really one rare car, really can't wait to see the progress.
Again, great score,

Thanks Big Mike, I appreciate the comments! I was a little doubtful about the air cleaner, especially when I first saw it. It looks almost like it was originally painted black from the factory, and that scared me. So I looked carefully and noticed small areas of red paint existing underneath the black, mainly around the snorkels. It seems like whoever painted this thing black scuffed or removed most of the existing paint before shooting the black, and did so quite a long time ago. I hope it is the correct air cleaner...finding the red paint underneath has given me some hope.

Here is a .pdf diagram sent to me by Ted Loranz. This should help to match the measurements, especially the snorkel diameters and the distance between the snorkels.

new guy on this site, I don't believe a 2-tone interior was the norm either.

Yeah, it's interior seat (and door panel) upholstery is definitely not what it came with from the factory.

Check out the pic to see what a real 64 dual snorkel looks like. There is another dual snorkel that is close that some fakers have tried to pass off as a 64 442’s, I think it’s for a 65 Chevelle, not sure?
Pic of Air Cleaner: And here is the picture of a 65 Chevelle aircleaner that I spoke of: These go for big bucks also. It is from a pretty rare option package/car. You can see the snorkles look different than the 442, but the top center section is very close, if not the same. You can see how someone would try to substitue this one for a 442.
