Will need a trailer. Diff, steering box and transmission crossmember went into a hot rod. Has the factory chrome engine dress up option. Take the whole thing for $500.
this car and its unique color combo looks so familiar. have you owned it a long time or would it have been and internet for sale item in the past 10 years or so?

I've owned it for three or four maybe more years now, not sure, time flies. I bought it from a hot rod builder who cut out what he needed for whatever he was building. Couldn't have been too many of them with the chrome package on the engine out there though, I would think. I'm trying to round up a diff for it now as it's a hard sell as an immovable object.
The chromed 230, RPO L61, was only used in '64 Chevelles & Beaumonts, plus U.S. Chevy IIs.
I saw a beautiful '64 Sport Deluxe with an L61 in Toronto more than 30 years ago. Desert Beige (yaaawn), it was just in from B.C.
A garden variety 3.08:1 10-bolt shouldn't be too hard to find still.

Interesting point cam, so the canadian built novas and small acadians never got them?
Right. The 194 was the only six on the Canadian Chevy II & Acadian through 1966, then in '67 the 250 became optional. So, no 230s in Canadian Chevy IIs 1964-66.
The chrome 230s came with a hotter (not exactly hot) cam. Remember that there was a bit of an emerging compact war on all fronts, including sixes. Chrysler offered an over-the-counter Hyper-Pack kit for their slant sixes (4-barrel carb, intake, headers, cam, high compression pistons), Ford sort of offered a Sprint 200 on the Mustang, AMC was doing 2-barrel 232s. I even learned that Oldsmobile in 64/65 offered an F85 Club Coupe with the 225 Buick V6 & a 4-speed Muncie, then a big 250 straight six for '66 with the Muncie M20 or M21. They might have actually sold a bunch during the fuel crisis, but that was a few years off, and in the era of cheap fuel a high compression V8 was the ticket. That is also likely the reason Pontiac didn't sell more of their wonderful OHC-6s.

noticed when installing the trans crossmember from the olds, the steel line down to the modulator valve is chrome too, like anyone is going to notice that.
Ken. just curious: was the missing diff a 10 bolt ot 12 bolt?
It's a '64 with a Powerglide, so it had an 8.125" 10-bolt, 3.08:1 ratio. 3.36s only came on 6-cylinder wagons or optionally on any 3-speed manual car. 4-speeds in Canada were 3.08 only. Pity.
