Pretty nice.  Ya think???  That has to be the most perfect '64 I have ever seen.  I can't imagine the money and hours that went into that.

Here's the link:

A careful study of failure will yield the ingredients for success.

I find it interesting that the list of highlights claims a Toploader in a 1963-build car. My own '64 Custom, delivered to Bill Brown Ford in mid-February of '64, came with a T-10 in it. When I twisted off the output shaft during a granny-shift into second gear a couple of months later, I went to Bruno Zava, Executive Engineer at T&C Livonia and he arranged for me to get a big in-'n'-out Toploader as a replacement. At that time, some were being built, but they hadn't gotten all the way through the parts chain.

 Owner says yes, early cars were T10, this is one of the first cars with a Toploader.

Strong money for it, but it does appear to be perfect.
