----Tach redline starts at 5000. What was the redline on a 400hp? Was there a low horse 409 available in 65, and if so could this car have started out life as that? Makes at least some sense with the AC!.....Bill S

Yes, There are several things "wrong" with this car, but I didn't want to beat the listing up. Yes, it should have a 6K redline/7K tach. This is a 283, 327, low horse 396 or lower horse 409 tach, you are 100% correct.
