Date code A759.
The other code is BE11 I think. It's very hard to read. Needs to be re-assembled. $200.00

461 heads cast 11/23/1960

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/4267186437.html

These 461 heads show a cast date of 11/23/60. Isn't that too early for a 61 car?

Are these super rare and should I get them ASAP?

Time to sell.

With retirement just around the bend, I've decided it's time to sell my car.

I bought the car in 1965 from a used car lot in New Orleans and made lots of good memories in the last 48+ years.

Make sure you have the correct gaskets under the squirters. I fought that problem after an "expert" rebuilt my carb.

There should be no drips even when its hot.

Happy birthday to my car.

She turns 51 today. I think I'll take her out for pizza and some fresh high octane tonight. I might even take my wife.
