I'm in on this! Sorry no pictures, I didn't own a camera in 1961! or 1966 for that matter! My long ago, deceased pal Jerry and I were avid model...
Can't really tell what that 1612344 trans mount is worth, but if memory serves, it is from an early HEMI 2 speed PowerFlyte. Maybe $100?

Welcome to the HAMB! Just some info: That is a Turbocharger on the Buick.
Some easy clarification: 302 Ford appeared in 1968. This is 4 years after the "Nothing after 1964" rules.
rwrj, I have followed this thread since you started. It always is amazing how you figure out the details, and keep it all looking like you are a...

Last seen here Nov 13, 2022. Hope for good news!
Mike, I agree!
