Yea I'm sure this isn't the original carb and with a plain jane 4v intake I'm inclined to err on the side of caution. I feel bad the guy thought it was a SO. If it was I'd probably give him the $5k but as it sits I'm thinking $3000-3500 max.

I hadn't thought about the distributor. I'll look at it. So far it seems pretty numbers matching. I'll verify the date codes prior but it looks like the C3AE-J heads (improved cylinder design) were late enough to have come on the C4 block. The C4 is also suppose to be the first with the $ cross drilled steel crank. How nice would that be to get a crank that only needed polishing.

I'm actually looking for it for myself. I've been putting together parts for a 1967 S code Mustang build I want to do. I was actually looking in the local newspapers for the car when I found this. I have a 1966 428 and a 1967 428 block and heads, intakes, small parts alreay collected. I may be having a garage sale if I get this one. Better to keep it all together and rebuild it.
