A 396 COPO Nova would have the chrome hood inserts, and possibly "396" above the front marker lights, BUT this is a 2-door and of the most popular years, 1968-72.

I'm assuming it has the original engine: 235 6 or 265 V8.

1967-71 AMC L6 3 speed, could have other applications.

It looks like an deep sump oil pan, designed to hold more oil. The engine could be from a military amphibious DUKW or CCKW 2.5 ton cargo truck.can someone explain wy there is a extra oil pan under itis the engine for special use ?
thanks

Remove the valve covers and install a set of rocker arm oil deflector clips, and start the engine and see that oil is coming though ALL the rocker arms. If oil is reaching the rockers, the valves may not be adjusted correctly. If not, the lifters could be defective. The valves can be adjusted while running, loosen the rocker nuts one at time until it just starts clattering, then slowly tighten until the clattering stops, then turn one full turn.

Also Plymouth Golden Commando 350 cu.in./305hp w/ conventional dual 4-barrel intake.

The Mercury looks like it could be for a Canadian Mercury M100 1/2 ton pickup truck. 1953-55, but could have been used earlier and later also.

I think Chevrolet made a V8 Vega prototype.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought the dipstick goes though the side of the pan on both the 348 and 409. The 348 on the drivers side, and the 409 on the passenger, and that both pans are interchangeable.Or that, lol! If that is the dipstick tube I see on the driver side, 348. -
This car in this story was not an antique, at the time, and it was an accident? Ridgefield Park, N.J. Thanksgiving day 1969, A cousin of mine had a 1959 Rambler, he was fond of this car. My parents invited him over for Thanksgiving dinner, he had no choice but to park it on the street. While they're eating they hear a loud crash, my cousin's car had been rear ended. The car was repaired requiring major work grafting on a quarter panel, trunk pan, etc. No problems, UNTIL Ridgefield Park Thanksgiving day 1970, same car parked on same street in front of same house, while they're eating they hear another loud crash, yep, you guessed his car was rear ended again. I don't know if it was the same driver.

The bumper/s with 4 ribs on either side of the license plate location, looks like a rear bumper for 1958 Cadillac Series 60 Special.

Could this be for a 1941 Packard?

The 2G has a big connector with 3 wires coming out of it, instead of using a heavy cable bolted to a stud with a nut. I understand these wires can get hot, so hot that the alternator can even start a fire. The 110 amp ones I've seen have stud and nut I'm guessing for a cable, this alternator might be better and easier to install, but I just don't know much about it. From what I'm trying to remember, The 3G conversion involves running 2 of the wires together to the stud on the the 3G, then running a cable from the stud though a mega fuse to the battery and the starter solenoid, the other one is a stator wire that is connected to a connector and plugged into the 3G. I did this conversion on my '89 Lincoln, I'll look it again.

Nice car, from the photo it looks like it has the 60/65 amp 2G alternator that has been notorious for causing electrical shorts, etc. If the car was to used as a daily driver it might be a good idea to do an upgrade. Ford also made a 100 or 110 amp alternator, some have done the 3G conversion that has 130 amps.

A boatbuilder I worked for, that had built cold-molded (glued with resorcinol) mahogany planked hulls, old timers told me they sprayed something called Woodlife on the inside, before epoxy came into use.

The green one with the bumper/grille guard, is a '55 1st series.

I don't know about a weather vane, but The Wiggler Company Buffalo, New York made something whimsical that looked like a wind speed indicator.

If the filter is not in the carburetor(as in the '70's and '80's or late '60's?) or between the carburetor and the pump, this being a '65 take a look at the fuel pump, if there are screws on it, the filter could be in the pump. But I would also drop the tank and have it cleaned. When it ran out of gas it sucked the sediment from the bottom and into the fuel system. Disconnect the pump to tank line and carb to pump line and blow out with compressed air. Rebuild carburetor with a kit, cleaning all idle circuits with compressed air and carb cleaner. Depending on the pump's condition, it might be a good idea to get a new pump.

The '56 hood ornaments I've seen had the black detail, and the '57's had the red.

A bad coolant sensor will cause an engine to run bad, you will have to do an ohm check (you will have to get ohms specs for this sensor) and see that's it's getting the proper voltage. Blue or white smoke? I second on pulling codes.
