    I am selling 3 73 455s and one 70 455. All are complete and turn over, not seized. $500 each. The nailhead is also complete, but I don't know its condition. Its complete including ac compressor and brackets. That's a different story though. That's not mine and it is going to get scrapped if not spoken for by Tuesday. I can pull it out and save it if someone really wants it. Guy wants 400 for it. Please let me know asap of interested so I can save it. I have a few pics of it I will post tonight.

    I'm interested in the nailhead. What year is it and does it run? Are the 455 just cores? Thanks

    I believe the nailhead is a 64. I would say it does not run. It looks like it has never been touched or opened up, but has been sitting for several years. It is still in the car, underhood, air cleaner and all. I have no idea exactly how long its been sitting. The 455s also have never been apart, but were running when pulled, except one that I pulled having no history on it. Looks promising though. Everything free, air cleaner still on it, and decent looking oil on the dipstick.

    Pics of nailhead. 20120929_102127-1.jpg 20121013_140840-1.jpg 20121013_140848-1.jpg 20121013_142439-1.jpg 20121013_142344-1.jpg


    I also attached a few pics of the car in case I am wrong about the year. Maybe someone can recognize the interior. Power bench with the cig lighter in the back may be a clue?

    Ignore the first pic. That engine is sold, added by mistake and having trouble editing from my phone.

    I have 2 that are running, other 2 i would bet run, but can't guarantee it. I am in Aberdeen Maryland, about 1/2 hour north of Baltimore.

    Can you tell the letters right behind the water neck on the block right in front of the valley pan? I don't recognize that alternator bracket. Trying to figure out if its a 401. Thanks
