64 L84 Previously in for sale section
It is my understanding there may have been a member(s) here who were familiar with the unrestored 64 FI coupe that was advertised a few weeks back. The information available is minimal and would like to learn more. I purchased the car for myself an would like to pursue any sort of historical leads.
Thanks,

I received the car yesterday and I am thrilled. The body and frame are typical to a west coast car. Most every number is original to the car with the exception of starter, alternator, and rear diff. I snapped some pics before I start cleaning. Again, I am searching for historical info on the car. So, if you know anything about it, please reach out.
Thanks,
Tim

Master cylinder and fuel pump may not be typical.

The exhaust system appears to be either original or correct original. The fuel pump should have a AC on the bottom. Take time to check your bolt heads while you are at it. You may find that most of them are original to the car as well. Great car!!

I have a feeling that the more you nose around the car the more you are going to find how original and well preserved it is. It looked like a wonderful car, with patina that you can't replicate. Very nice car. Enjoy it.

Looks like a very original car. I had a '64 fuelie that looked pretty similar, 33K miles, out of Ohio. It appears to have a lot of rust for a California car all its life. You sure it was never in say, Ohio?

Interesting that the injector has a serial number stamp on the boss for the balance tube support clip. I was under the impression only Canadian cars had the VIN stamp. Curious as to what the injector serial number is on the data plate? This is speculation by me, the injector does not have the 63 air meter so the injector serial number should be above 1350. The fuel meter is fitted with the internal baffle so the presence of the baffle could place the injector serial number above 1700. The distributor has a 4B1, Feb 1, 1964 build date which I have not recorded before today, not the more common 4C3, 4C13, 4C23 dates. I think this is a March 64 built car, so a monthly FI build average of 115 could place the injector serial number around 1500 with late Nov/early Dec 63 being the introduction of the 380 model injector. Wish the car was mine! Good luck on the research of the history on it.

Waiting on the NCRS Shipping report right now. What I have found out, this was a customer car that sat at John's FI service for about 40 years. My experience with mid west cars, this would be much worse if it spent any time there. How long ago did you have it Mike?
