Default Original 289 Rear END

I took some pictures for you and put them in photo bucket showing the rear end and the separate front bolt on mount. While I was at it I photographed the original vinyl current that went behind the seats, the side curtains, the top and the front and rear suspension arms including added gusseting to make them road worthy. I put all that stuff in because they were all stored in the same cabinets and because I have seen questions from time to time asking about various original parts. The stub axle flange to flange dim is 14 inches but the retaining bolts stick out another .5" per, side hope this helps you. I was told years ago by a restorer that the original rear end might as well be made from gold bullion in terms of value and that I would be a fool to ever use it again so I have a pair of Jags that I use now with an adapter. The rear end trans etc, etc will go with the car when it is either restored or sold by the widow.
