The '63, if I am reading the VIN right, is the 32nd one off the line in Pontiac. I'm pretty sure it's lived it's whole life in Michigan. It's got the original "spiral type" shocks on it still too.
I plan on taking out the 305 V6 and swapping in a Cadillac Northstar 4.6L V8.
Wish me luck.

I am glad to be part of such a health and friendly forum.
